Conor McGregor: 'Mayweather needs me, I don't need him'

ESPN scored a silence-breaking interview with UFC superstar Conor McGregor on their Sunday Conversation show.

Topics addressed include a potential boxing bout with Floyd Mayweather. McGregor claims that he was offered $7 million for the bout vs. a $100 million payday for Mayweather.

"He needs me. I don't need him. I'm not taking a pay cut."

He also discussed the spat with Zuffa brass that led to him being pulled off the UFC 200 card (transcribed by MMA Fighting).

"I was in a time where I was like, figuring out something," McGregor said.
