Floyd Mayweather talks about UFC debut but won't have a bout against Conor McGregor MMA
You need guts to enter the Octagon. Floyd Mayweather has that as he has hinted his possible UFC debut but is not interested to fight the former two-division champion, Conor McGregor. Everybody knows The Notorious, inside the octagon is a real animal. Is the world champion boxer afraid of him in mixed martial arts?

In an interview with Showtime sports, Floyd Mayweather revealed that he would wish to fight in the 145-pound division in UFC. However, he was not interested in a bout against the Irishman. 

“McGregor has other things to deal with,” Mayweather said.

“It is possible I do come back, but if I do come back, it has to be in the Octagon,” talking about his possible comeback, Mayweather said. “I spoke with my team, I spoke with (adviser) Al Haymon. Al Haymon says no. If I do come back, Showtime and CBS have to be involved.” Mayweather added.

Some months back McGregor confirmed that there won't be the Mayweather-McGregor rematch.

Mayweather has made the retirement issue, a way to seel his fight tickets lately. He also warned fans not to take his retirement seriously.

“Retirement has been great, but as you know and everyone knows, I go into retirement and I come back", he said. “I can do whatever I want, when I want to, and how I want to,” the American boxer added. He has yet not revealed who he wishes to fight.

Back in August 2017, he came out of retirement to fight Conor McGregor and defeated in the 10th round. The Irish Mystic Mac was arrested following an assault over UFC fighters outside at a UFC sponsored media event in New York City.
