Floyd Jr: "I'll only come out of retirement for a fight vs McGreggor"

“If I do fight it’s only against Conor McGregor,” he said. “That’s gonna be my only fight and not against nobody else because this matchup is just so intriguing. You have a fighter against an MMA fighter, one of the best MMA fighters to do combat and stand up and do it. He’s a strong fighter, and when I look at him fight he’s a little faster than I thought he was. So if the fight happens I can’t overlook the guy. I’m pretty sure… if we make the fight happen, I’m pretty sure he’s gonna push me to the limit.” “I’m pretty sure we’re gonna have a master plan to make that fight happen. It hasn’t happened yet, but we locked down some dates. Me and my team, me and Al Haymon, me and Leonard Ellerbe we locked down some dates in different countries, in different cities in the United States. And you already know what my number is, $100 million. That’s just the guarantee. We don’t talk about my number on the back end.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/floyd-mayweather-jr-says-conor-150437038.html

This fight is so stupid, we all already know whos going to win a boxing match and we already know who will win a MMA match. Only a dumb fuk would pay for this circus match.

This fight would make a lot of money. A LOT of money. But it would be another sham like Mayweather-Pacquiao. Hopefully it doesn't happen.

Oh Floyd. And lol at Floyd sounding like Oscar hyping up Khan a couple weeks ago. "Yea he's faster than I thought". Maybe we will see Ali vs Inoki II. Conor should try to get MMA gloves doe. very good of you to remember ali vs inoki..... if memory serves, that was "a no boxing fight" for me... ali dancing and inoki down on the canvas trying to kick ali's legs....ha ha ha well, at least inoki was not forced to box....

McGreggor has as much of a chance at beating Floyd at boxing as Floyd has of beating McGreggor at MMA. None. Well to be fair Floyd would have technically have a chance to beat McGregor at MMA since MMA allows boxing and all styles. McGregor would pretty much have zero chance of beating Floyd unless Floyd had a heart attack in the ring.

MMA fans enjoyed Couture taking Toney to the ground and talked **** about boxing for years because of it. For that reason alone, I would enjoy watching Floyd beat the brakes off McGregor. That being said, this CANNOT count towards Floyd's 50-0

If you ask me, Floyd is seeing how post retirement without his steady 30-40mil paydays 2x/year is not conducive to his spending habits. He's looking to come back every once in a while to like he put it "steal some more money".

The only way I'd be interested and would gladly dish out $ to see this is if they're both allowed to use their fighting styles against one another. Let Connor use his mma skills vs Floyd's boxing skills. Let the best fighter win! Lol Floyd would never let that happen. What an embarrassment he is.

HoF........ATG........P4P......TBE.........hahaha now your seeing the real Mayweather. Looking for the weak link, Canelo was developing a name he looked bigger until they stood next to one another. Guererro was a champion, two divisions down and he beat up a tired Berto, then lil' Floyd fights WHO for the final fight..... yes Berto! This kid is the best promoter since Ali, he has fooled the fans since leving the lightwelter division and taking on the "senior class" of former good fighters like Shane and Oscar and mixing in little guys like Hatton and Marquez. He was a very good defensive boxer and had a huge skill level but he's no fighter and he never took on a prime contender with high skills at 147! Now its about an mma guy who just got whipped. This guy is going to struggle in retirement and he is already learning that houses and cars don't love or appreciate back! Hopefully someone can guide him and teach him to let the lime light go! Ray

“If I do fight it’s only against Conor McGregor,” he said. “That’s gonna be my only fight and not against nobody else because this matchup is just so intriguing. If that's his stance why bother to even talk about him anymore? You will not see me make a single post on any thread related to that joke of a fight if this goes down but I'm curious how boxing fans can engage in this.
