The father of 'Money' has assured in an interview that the two fighters are already negotiating a rematch of the fight that took place in August last year.
Show must go on' (the show must go on) is the name given to this edition of Fight 4 Life 3, a maxim from the world of show business, which fits Floyd Mayweather, the undisputed king of the boxing business, like a glove, also known as 'Money' has for years been letting his intention to retire (which seemed definitive after his victory over Conor McGregor in August 2017) but seems to always be willing to one more fight, provided that the fees he receives are up to par and his unblemished unbeaten record, which he set at 50 wins and 0 losses, is not in jeopardy.
Now it looks like the Grand Rapids fighter is going to break his word again and get back in the ring to rematch McGregor, the king of the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and another business superstar. O That's what can be deduced from the interview that Floyd Mayweather Sr. has given to NBC.
"They're talking about how Floyd and Conor McGregor are going to fight. I'm not sure, but I'm getting some stuff. It sounds to me like my son wants to fight again. McGregor will also fight again and show people what he can do, which is nothing. I'll make sure he throws himself, all the time out of the game, I'll make sure he doesn't come back," expressed 'Money's' father.
Business and money
Either way, a rematch of the fight that took place at the T-Mobile in Las Vegas on August 27, 2017 should surprise no one. Since the end of the fight, there was already talk of a possible new bout between the brightest stars of boxing and the UFC. Too much money at stake, as much as the 100 million dollars that 'Money' secured and the 30 that McGregor grabbed for the fight. Not to mention the millions of dollars that the fight generated through pay-per-view television.
The first meeting between the two ended as everyone expected, with a technical knockout victory for Floyd Mayweather in the tenth round. McGregor seemed to surprise 'Money' in the first three rounds, but it was only a mirage, because the Grand Rapids fighter imposed his class and left 'The Notorious' without any option.
McGregor returns to the UFC
Moreover, all this may have a bearing on whether or not Conor McGregor's return bout to the octagon will be held, 693 days after his last fight. The Irish champion is scheduled to make his UFC comeback in a bout against Russia's Khabib Nurmagomedov on October 6 in Las Vegas, with the lightweight championship belt at stake.
So, now that the surprise effect of the first duel between Mayweather and McGregor (and the Irishman's debut in a ring) is over, it is more than likely that a new fight will follow a very similar script to the first one, but it seems that the public's interest is still there. The 'Money' show must go on.
