In a sit down interview during his United Kingdom tour, boxer Floyd Mayweather confirmed that he was coming out of retirement to pursue a fight with UFC superstar Conor McGregor.

When I faced Arturo Gatti, I went to his turf,” Mayweather said (via FightHype). “He was the A side, I was the B side. I beat him, I didn’t cry, I didn’t complain. When I faced Oscar De La Hoya, he was the A side, I was the B side. I didn’t cry, I didn’t complain, I beat him and I became the A side. For Conor McGregor, I’m coming out of retirement, just to fight Conor McGregor.
“I don’t want to hear no more excuses about the money, about the UFC. Sign the paper with the UFC so you can fight me in June. Simple and plain. Let’s fight in June. You’re the B side, I’m the A side. We’re not here to cry about money. I’m tired of all this crying about money and talking about you want to fight. You blowing smoke up everybody’s ass. If you want to fight, sign the paperwork, let’s do it.
“Today, I’m officially out of retirement for Conor McGregor. We don’t need to waste no time. We need to make this s**t happen quickly. Let’s get it on in June.”
Although Floyd appears all-in to fight Conor it’s still unlikely to happen because the UFC has to get involved and they appear to be completely disinterested in the super fight. Let’s hope the UFC eventually concedes and let’s Conor fight Floyd because the circus would be fun to watch.
