Floyd Mayweather retired from boxing with a perfect record nearly a decade ago.
The boxing legend was a five-weight world champion after capturing gold from super-featherweight to super-welterweight, taking part in some of the biggest fights in the sport’s history during that time.
Mayweather defeated fellow greats such as Manny Pacquiao, Oscar De La Hoya and Canelo Alvarez during his illustrious career, but the American has now announced that there have been talks about a rematch against one of his former foes.
The last time Mayweather stepped into a professional ring came back in August 2017, when he had a crossover bout with MMA fighter Conor McGregor.
It was viewed by most educated fans as a major mismatch due to McGregor never having boxed professionally before, with Mayweather claiming a 10th round stoppage victory at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Despite the massive gulf inside the ring, it was still a huge commercial success, generating a gate of over 55 million dollars, along with 4.3 million pay-per-view buys.
The money that was generated meant that the pair have continuously been linked to a rematch with one another, and now Mayweather has revealed to Clocked n Loaded that talks have taken place.
“It is possible. There’s talks. Anything can happen, we don’t know what the future holds.”
If a rematch was to ever take place, it is likely it would be an exhibition contest, rather than a professional bout. It still remains extremely doubtful though, with McGregor’s fighting career now inactive, having not even competed in the UFC since July 2021.
