May 22, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Floyd Mayweather is looking forward to signing on for a fight with Conor McGregor. Mayweather spoke over the weekend during an event in England (via MMA Fighting) about the possibility of the fight with McGregor happening. Highlights are below:

On whether he’s coming back to face McGregor: “I had a great career, and my career may not be over. Number 50 may be against Conor McGregor, we’ll just wait and see.”

On what the next step is: “If he signed the contract – I’m over here working, I’m always working…When I get back over to the U.S., I’ll communicate with my team, I’ll call Al [Haymon, Mayweather’s manager], I’ll get Al and Leonard [Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions] on a business call to see what’s our next move. There’s no rush. When we do make the move, most likely it’s gonna be a huge move. You already know, when Floyd Mayweather fights, it’s history. If I do fight, it’s a 90 percent chance it’s against Conor McGregor.”

On signing onto the fight: “They said Conor McGregor signed his end of the deal. I look forward to signing my end of the deal. I haven’t signed my end of the deal yet so once I get home, I’ll communicate with my team, I’ll talk with Al Haymon, I’ll talk with Leonard, and we’ll see what we come up with. We’ll put all our great minds together and we’re gonna have another superfight.”
