The combat sports fan might see Conor ‘The Notorious’ McGregor and Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather exchanging blows in a ring sooner than expected. And that might happen twice. Both fighters are in negotiation for their rematch that might happen in Saudi Arabia next year. However, the unlikely organizers are the Saudi royal family.

The royal family is strengthening its sports industry footprint and has zeroed down to McGregor vs Mayweather 2. This report comes after the Saudi royal recently hosted a title fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk.

Looks like the royal family has at last cracked the formula to put Saudi Arabia at the center of the mainstream sports industry.

Details of Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather rematch

The crowd pullers of their respective sports are in talks to exchange blows in two fights. The reported purse both will pocket is a jaw-dropping record-breaking $1.3 billion.

The negotiations include a two-fight contract, with different rules. Hence, one fight will involve boxing rules, just like the previous fight between the two. Another fight will involve MMA rules and, as expected, Conor McGregor will enter the ring as a heavy favorite.
