Floyd Mayweather: “For Conor McGregor, I’m Coming Out Of Retirement”

Well, Mayweather is reportedly ready to fight Conor McGregor, all he has to do is sign the papers and have him stop using Mayweather’s name for gain. 

“For Conor McGregor, I’m coming out of retirement — just to fight Conor McGregor,” said Mayweather, after he instructed the audience to videotape him with their phones.

“I don’t want to hear no more excuses about the money [or] about the UFC. Sign the paper with the UFC, so you can fight me in June. Simple and plain. Let’s fight in June.”

Earlier this week, Mayweather told ESPN, “I don’t know if it’s going to happen. If Conor McGregor really wants the fight to happen, stop blowing smoke up everybody’s ass and sign the paper.”

McGregor has demanded a guaranteed $100 million in order to face Mayweather. He is also under exclusive contract with UFC, which is a unique problem with making the fight. One constant in the running drama surrounding the potential fight has been Mayweather’s assertion that he is the primary draw of the two, which he reiterated Friday.

“When I faced Arturo Gatti [in 2005], I went to his turf,” Mayweather, 40, said. “He was the ‘A’ side, I was the ‘B’ side. I didn’t cry. I didn’t complain. When I fought Oscar De La Hoya [in 2007], he was the ‘A’ side. I was the ‘B’ side. I didn’t cry, and I didn’t complain. I beat him, and I became the ‘A’ side.”
