Floyd Mayweather Names His Price For Fighting Conor McGregor And Khabib Nurmagomedov

Floyd Mayweather Names His Price For Fighting Conor McGregor And Khabib Nurmagomedov

There's a reason they call him 'Money'...

Floyd Mayweather has named his price for fighting both Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov inside the squared circle.

The 50-0 fighter has already beaten McGregor in a cross-over boxing bout in August 2017 that saw him make a reported $300million for what was his last official fight.

He's openly talked about mixing it up with the Notorious once again, while he's also been linked with a slugfest with UFC lightweight champion Khabib.

The recently announced partnership with UFC president Dana White raises the possibility of the fights happening but as expected, 'Money' won't be doing it on the cheap.

Speaking at a DKM Promotion's event at York Hall, Mayweather stated: 'We talked about the Conor McGregor fight, we talked about the Khabib fight.

"For myself, the number is $600m. If I'm going to go out there and risk it, it'd have to be worth it.

"In the boxing world as of right now, it doesn't make sense for me to fight any ordinary fighter. I'm a businessman. The Conor McGregor fight made sense. If it makes money, it makes sense.

"I don't fight fighters or compete against competitors that only have cities behind them. If I'm going to fight you, you have to have a whole country behind you.

"The first fight was entertaining. It's an entertainment business."

Mayweather recently made a outlandish claim that he discussed the potential of facing both UFC stars on the same day for a set price.

"I even talked about fighting Khabib and Conor in the same day," he told Drink Champs on a podcast.

"Khabib in the day and Conor at night. You pay one fee, probably $250, and you get both fights."

Both Mayweather and White made a "handshake deal" for 'Zuffa Boxing' when they were sat next to another for a Los Angeles Clippers game and a cross-over fight appears to be at the front of their minds this year.

He told ESPN in January: "The easiest way to explain it to you is Floyd and I both feel that we add value to each other, and we're going to figure something out.

"Some things have to play out, and then I'm going to start talking to (Mayweather's promoter Al) Hayman maybe this summer and then I'll have something for Floyd in the fall.

"We can do some crossover stuff here, or we can do something in boxing.

"Our last experience, Floyd was actually pretty easy to deal with. Haymon is incredible to deal with. Floyd and I got a handshake deal at the basketball game, and we'll get the rest figured out."
