FLOYD MAYWEATHER revealed he has spoken to UFC boss Dana White about fighting Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov – on the SAME day.
The 42-year-old officially retired in August 2017 after beating former two-weight UFC champion McGregor – though Mayweather returned a year later to beat kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a Japanese exhibition bout.

But the ex-PPV king announced in November he was “coming out of retirement in 2020” to work with UFC president Dana White.
Mayweather recently teased a rematch with McGregor and a crossover bout with Nurmagomedov in a series of Instagram posts.
And if the ring legend has it his way, he would box them both back-to-back in an extraordinary event.
Mayweather told Drink Champs “I even talked about fighting Khabib and Conor in the same day.
“Khabib in the day and Conor at night. You pay one fee, probably $250 (£190), and you get both fights.”
White had already revealed he planned to speak with Mayweather’s boxing advisor Al Haymon with the view of ‘Money’ fighting in October or November.
After McGregor beat Donald Cerrone on his UFC return last month he insisted he will rematch Mayweather in the ring, as he said: “That Floyd, he’s a funny man, that Floyd.
“We’ll see what happens. The discussions are always ongoing. They never stop.
“You know Floyd is going through money fast. He’s far from retired, and that rematch will happen at some stage.”
But the Irishman also moved a step closer to boxing Manny Pacquiao, after the Filipino legend signed for management stable Paradigm Sports, who also work with The Notorious.
