Floyd Mayweather wants to fight Conor McGregor in 2023

• Floyd Mayweather says he wants to fight Conor in exhibition bout next year.
• Mayweather retired from boxing, has taken part in number of exhibition matches.
• The American had a perfect 50-0 record when he retired from the sport.

Floyd Mayweather says he wants to fight the former Ultimate Fighting Championship Conor McGregor in an exhibition bout next year.

In 2017, Mayweather, 45, defeated McGregor via knockout in the final contest of his professional career.

Mayweather claims he is in discussions to fight McGregor once more after taking part in multiple exhibition fights since his retirement.

“We don’t know if it’s going to be an exhibition or a real fight,” he told. “I would prefer an exhibition.”

For his rematch with McGregor, Mayweather recommended Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders.

“They already talked to me about my number that I’m going to receive,” Floyd told TMZ, adding, “9 figures.”

“You know we gotta start at least 100 million for Floyd Mayweather.”

This weekend in Japan, Mayweather will compete in another exhibition match against MMA champion Mikuru Asakura.

The American, who had a perfect 50-0 record when he retired from boxing, has participated in a number of exhibition matches, including one last year against YouTube sensation Logan Paul.

After his defeat against Mayweather, McGregor rejoined the UFC, but he has had trouble regaining the form that helped him become the organization’s first double champion.

The 34-year-old Irishman is presently rehabbing from a broken leg he got in his defeat to Dustin Poirier a year ago. He has dropped three of his previous four UFC fights.
