FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR has refused to rule out stepping into the ring with Conor McGregor for a multi-million dollar fight.
Speculation that the undefeated five-division world champion boxer could face Irish MMA star McGregor emerged last week with The Sun reporting that the pair were on the verge of agreeing a match-up in Las Vegas this summer.
A bout between two of the biggest names in their respective sports would undoubtedly generate huge interest and, when asked about the rumours, 39-year-old Mayweather claimed that it could happen.
“It’s possible,” Mayweather told Liftn com. “It (McGregor) was a name that was shot at me. The rumours that y’all been hearing is the rumours that I started.
It may not be a rumour so keep your fingers crossed. It may be a boxer versus an MMA fighter — we just don’t know.”
McGregor, who was pulled from his rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 200 after refusing to comply with media obligations last month, also posted a mock-up poster featuring him and Mayweather on his Facebook and Twitter accounts this afternoon.

The fight reminded me of the Simpsons episode when Homer fought hobo Boxcar Bob in Moe’s Bar
@Stipe Miocic: boxcar willy.
‘You couldn’t give me one measly round moe’

Absolutely pointless fight, he gained nothing from it.
@Stephen Duggan: id say his bank account gained a couple of Gs
Good to see him back. He was always going to win, needs a few more fights under his belt to get back into the groove. Great entrance as well!
A total farce and Wilder or Joshua will destroy him
@Brocky Jennings: Ya think? Give him a couple of higher Calibre opponents and get him back to previous levels and I think he beats both.
@EnKy: well said . HD can beat anyone as long as he’s on his game . He def beats wilder in my eyes but not 100% sure about Joshua . Anyone who says he can’t beat either know little
Of course he could’ve
Nice classy “fans”.
Not in this or any other lifetime
