It’s been over five years since the pair clashed in Las Vegas in one of the richest bouts in boxing history.
Mayweather extended his perfect career record to 50 fights unbeaten when stopping the UFC icon in the 10th round at the T-Mobile Arena.
The 45-year-old has had three exhibition bouts since, not officially sanctioned or affecting his 50-0 record.
But this rematch could be a professional fight, according to Mayweather.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, Mayweather confirmed that negotiations were ongoing ahead of of a potential clash in 2023.
He said: “I have another exhibition in Dubai in November and me and Conor McGregor in 2023.

“We don’t know if it’s going to be an exhibition or a real fight. But there’s been talks of both. I would prefer an exhibition.
“I am not into fights where I am going to take any real punishment.
“So, guys like Conor McGregor and guys that don’t really hit hard such as YouTubers or UFC guys, I don’t really mind colliding with those kinds of individuals but nothing where I am going to put myself in a position where I am going to harm myself or hurt myself.”
McGregor has been absent from the Octagon after breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier — but is interested in returning to boxing.
He recently said: “Boxing is my first love in combat sports. I had such a great time the last time I was out there.
“Obviously, my return will be in the octagon for UFC – that story is far from over, in fact it’s just being written, it is just the beginning. But, boxing, for sure I will grace the squared circle again in the future.”
Paddy Power have installed Floyd Mayweather as the 1/7 favourite but the American isn’t being as strongly backed compared to their last fight in 2017.
Spokesman Paddy Power said: “This fight was a bit of a non-contest last time out, so it’s great to see the pair back to make a mockery of boxing once again.”
