Mayweather stopped McGregor by technical knockout in the 10th round, improving his professional record to 50-0. He has since competed in several exhibitions and remains interested in facing the Irishman again.
“Actually, I think me and Conor McGregor may lock up again. Yeah, absolutely,” Mayweather said during an appearance on the “PBD Podcast.” “I don’t live with Conor McGregor, he’s not my friend. I don’t have to see him. It’s just when it’s time for us to do business and lock up, let’s do it.”
Mayweather’s exhibition opponents have included Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, social media personalities Logan Paul and Deji, and former MMA fighter Aaron Chalmers. “Money” has also faced John Gotti III twice.
