Floyd Mayweather Ready To Fight Conor McGregor, Urges Him To 'Sign The Paper'
Boxing great Floyd Mayweather is ready to come out of retirement and make his fight against UFC Star Conor McGregor official once he can get him to 'sign the paper.' While engaged in a recent media tour around Europe, Mayweather also addressed the proposed super fight with McGregor and wasted no time taking a jab at the Irishman.
The long rumored fight has mostly been teased back and forth in public, with McGregor and Mayweather both exchanging shots at each other in interviews and over social media, but a report coming from FOX Sports says that real and legit negotiations have already been ongoing for some time now.
Mayweather's latest declaration is that he is just waiting for McGregor to sign the paper so they can make their long anticipated fight official for later this year. Mayweather claims that a lot of people, aside from the media have been asking him about the proposed fight with McGregor, but he, later on, claimed that as long as McGregor does not sign, Mayweather doesn't know if it's going to happen.
"If He really wants our fight to happen, he needs to stop blowing up everybody's a-- and sign the paper already. Sign the paper, Conor. You said you're a boss. S just sign the paper already and let's make this happen."
Mayweather made it clear that it's just a matter of McGregor signing a contract to make the fight official, but according to MMA Fighting, it actually goes much deeper than that. The issues in order to make the fight a reality will also involve the agreement upon wages for both Mayweather and McGregor, which would include guaranteed purses and a split of pay-per-view profits from the bout, which is expected to rake in some of the most extravagant numbers in the history of combat sports.
Nonetheless, Mayweather sounds ready to make the fight with McGregor real and official, at least based on the terms of the deal that he's offered at this point in the negotiations. The Media is still waiting for McGregor's camp to make their decision.
