Maybe that Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Conor McGregor superfight isn’t dead after all.
UFC president Dana White made headlines Friday when he made a “real offer” to the undefeated boxer to fight “The Notorious,” but Mayweather quickly laughed it off and called White “a f—ing comedian” for pledging $25 million for each fighter.
However, Mayweather seemed a bit more optimistic Saturday when he was asked about the potential fight during an interview with Jim Gray at the Badou Jack vs. James DeGale bout at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
