Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather was the biggest cross sport event in combat sports history. And recently it felt like fans might get to see part 2 of this amazing match-up. However, the Irishman lay waste to all fan expectations. 

The reports came in that the pair would fight their rematch next year. The undefeated boxer told Daily Mail, “I want to go out there this weekend and have fun [against Mikuru Asakura]. Then I have another exhibition in Dubai in November and me and Conor McGregor in 2023.”

The mystic mac further added, “He hasn’t cleared 20 million in 1 full year since 2017. When we fought the last time. Otherwise, he’d have been on the list. He hasn’t made the list since 2017. In other words, he’s full of sh*t”
