Whatever opinions on the actual quality of the fight may be, there’s no doubt that Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s 2017 boxing match against Conor McGregor was one of the biggest events in recent combat sports history. Raking in a reported 4.3 million PPV buys in the US alone, some reports estimated that Mayweather earned at least $200 million (if not more) for the bout—with McGregor potentially taking in somewhere near $100 million.
Is it any wonder, then, that Mayweather would sound so eager to run it back? In a recent interview ahead of his planned exhibition boxing bout against YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul, Mayweather sat down with Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell of Morning Kombat to talk about his upcoming bout.
