Floyd Mayweather Jr. is accusing Conor McGregor of stealing his swag, and the two might have to fight again to sort it out.
Mayweather and McGregor fought each other back in 2017. The fight was all hype and little substance, but that didn’t stop it from making more than half a billion dollars, much of that going directly into Floyd’s pocket. So it’s not surprising given his current financial situation that “Money” might want to hit that bank up again.
“Actually, I think me and Conor McGregor may lock up again,” Mayweather said on the PBD Podcast. “Yeah, absolutely. He didn’t break his hand, he broke his foot, right? Okay, well, we going from the shoulders. We going from the shoulders.”
Mayweather TKO’d McGregor in the 10th round of their fight, and has suggested numerous times that he carried “The Notorious” through the early rounds. That didn’t stop McGregor from walking away from the fight an even bigger star, perhaps bigger than Floyd because he somehow stole Floyd’s swag.
“The guy that took my whole swag and took it over there to the UFC,” Mayweather declared. “As soon as Conor McGregor faced Floyd Mayweather, I mean, he was big as life.”
“His career wasn’t like that before. What was his biggest payday? What was his biggest fight? So when he got me, what kind of money did he make? I think I made about $300 [million]. I don’t like to count another man’s pocket, but he ate good.”

Reports had McGregor making over $100 million, but they also had the UFC taking a significant chunk off the top of that payday, to the tune of $50 million. McGregor is interested, but UFC CEO Dana White isn’t, even with his piece of the pie looking so good.
“There was nothing about the Mayweather fight that makes me say, ‘You know, if we did that again, there might be a different outcome,” White explained when asked.
For now, McGregor is sidelined by a knee injury and has one more fight left on his UFC contract. After that, he’ll be free to do whatever he wants, and McGregor vs. Mayweather would undoubtedly be on that list, if Mayweather can ever actually get himself into a big fight again.
