Retired and undefeated boxer, Floyd Mayweather, said that a boxing match against undefeated UFC champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, was "happening", although he did not give any other details.
Mayweather (50-0) retired from boxing in August 2017, right after a lucrative competition against UFC star Conor McGregor. His name has been linked to a fight back against Manny Pacquiao in recent months, however – and now, a potential fight against Nurmagomedov.
"We are fighting," Mayweather told TMZ Sports. "I am my own boss, I can not say what is going on in Khabib, but on my side we can do it."
When asked if it was a boxing or martial arts fight, Mayweather responded directly.
"Who is the 'A-side?' He called me then you must come into my world," said Mayweather. "I saw in an interview, he said when he hit Conor McGregor, he knocked out Conor McGregor, he said that I had not knocked out Conor McGregor, OK, Khabib, you have my remains. .
Nurmagomedov (27-0) defended his McGregor lightweight title at UFC 229 on October 6 in Las Vegas. He won the fight in the fourth round bid and left Octagon to take on McGregor's corner. The Nevada Sports Commission is still investigating the case and should suspend and possibly suspend Nurmagomedov at a future disciplinary hearing.
The native of Dagestan recently appeared alongside Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's longtime advisor, in a video shot in Russia. In the video, Nurmagomedov gets tired and calls Mayweather.
"Come on Floyd, we have to fight now," Nurmagomedov said. "50-0 against 27-0, two guys who never lose, let's go, why not, because in the jungle there's only one king, of course I'm the King because he can not let McGregor down, but I drop it easily. Let's go. "
According to Mayweather, 41, a fight against Nurmagomedov would produce a higher salary than he received for boxing McGregor last year. Mayweather won this fight by TKO in the 10th round.
"When I face Khabib, I get a nine-figure salary," said Mayweather. "Yes, more than the McGregor battle, probably $ 100 million more guaranteed, that could be somewhere between $ 110 and $ 200 million guaranteed."
