Floyd Mayweather Names Staggering Price To Fight Khabib Nurmagomedov Or Conor McGregor

Floyd Mayweather has revealed that he wants a staggering $300m to face Conor McGregor in a blockbuster rematch and named the same price tag for a Khabib Nurmagomedov super-fight.

The 43-year-old boxing legend famously clashed with Irish superstar McGregor in a mega-crossover bout in 2017.

And Mayweather forced a tenth-round stoppage on the night and notched up his 50-0 record before retiring from the sport.

UFC star Khabib has also teased the idea of following in McGregor's footsteps and facing the ex-boxing superstar in a fight.

Speaking on the Club Shay Shay podcast, Mayweather made it clear that he would demand a $300m paycheque to face McGregor again.

However, the former five-weight champ took a swipe at the 'Notorious' by insisting that he "can't punch."

'Money' explained: "If I could make an easy $300 million, absolutely. Conor McGregor can't punch."

Mayweather, who has been linked with a potential exhibition fight with Logan Paul, has previously caused controversy by claiming that he was a better boxer than Muhammad Ali.

The boxing legend revealed in his updated list for the top five boxers of all time that Ali wouldn't make the cut.

Mayweather once again reiterated that he "accomplished more than every fighter in the history of boxing."

He explained: "Every time boxing comes on, you don't bring up Muhammed Ali's name, you don't bring up Mike Tyson's name -- you always bring up Floyd Mayweather's name because I'm still the face of boxing.

"I've accomplished more than every fighter in the history of boxing."

When Shannon Sharpe asked Mayweather if he wanted to defend his top picks, he responded: "At the end of the day, Floyd Mayweather is not a follower.

"I will always love Sugar Ray Robinson because he paved the way for Muhammed Ali.

"I will always love Muhammed Ali because he paved the way for Sugar Ray Leonard. Sugar Ray Leonard paved the way for a guy like Mike Tyson and so forth and so on."
