As a guest on ESPN’s Sunday Conversation, UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor finally breaks his silence on the issues with the UFC brass and the UFC 200 meltdown.
In addition, the Irish MMA superstar also discusses the rumor about a proposed matchup between him and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather inside the four cornered ring.
McGregor said,
I hear [Mayweather] talking. The leak came out, it was him that leaked the rumor and it said he gets $100m and I get $7m – that’s a pay cut to me. I don’t take pay cuts. I thought boxing was where the money was at. The $7m is absolutely laughable. He’s talking $100m – I’m also talking $100m. I’m 27 years of age and I’m just about halfway through a $100m contract. At 27 years of age, Floyd Mayweather was on Oscar De La Hoya’s undercard.
Who doesn’t want to conquer both worlds? He’s getting old now. He needs me, I don’t need him. Who else can he fight?
McGregor’s next match is expected to be officially announced very soon. So stay tuned to Yell! Magazine for the update.
