Floyd Mayweather has revealed a rematch with UFC star Conor McGregor could be a professional fight, but he would rather it be an exhibition.
Former five-weight world champion Mayweather stopped McGregor in the Irishman's professional boxing debut when they fought in 2017. At the time, McGregor was at the height of his UFC fame having become the first two-weight champion in the promotion whilst Mayweather improved his flawless record to 50-0 with the win. The fight sold 4.3 million pay-per-view buys, making it the second highest-selling event in history behind Mayweather's 2015 bout against Manny Pacquiao.
Reports suggested the pair were holding talks over a potential sequel, with McGregor appearing to hint at a second fight on social media by writing: "I accept." Ahead of his latest exhibition venture against against Mikuru Asakura this Saturday, Mayweather has confirmed that he wants to have one more exhibition fight before facing McGregor again next year.
