According to ESPN.com, WrestleMania celebrity and boxing Champion Floyd Mayweather is continuing to taunt UFC star Conor McGregor, and said he will come out of retirement for a one-time only fight if his opponent is Conor McGregor. Mayweather reportedly wants the fight to happen in June.
During a public appearance Friday in Liverpool, England, Mayweather urged McGregor to take the fight.
“For Conor McGregor, I’m coming out of retirement — just to fight Conor McGregor,” said Mayweather, after he instructed the audience to videotape him with their phones.
“I don’t want to hear no more excuses about the money [or] about the UFC. Sign the paper with the UFC, so you can fight me in June. Simple and plain. Let’s fight in June.”
