Furthermore, the first showdown clearly hinted that there needs to be a rematch. As per the reports, the American boxer offered around $130 million to McGregor for a rematch. Moreover, a source told TheSun, “Conor will only take the fight providing Floyd is willing to put his professional record on the line – so the fight will not be an exhibition, it will be an official fight. It will be at 155lb. That’s what we know so far. It will be the last time Floyd ever steps in the ring, so it is not one to miss. The deal is very close to being done. Personal terms have been agreed on both parties.”
