Floyd Mayweather is ‘officially coming out of retirement’ to fight Conor McGregor.
Mayweather, who retired from professional boxing in 2015 with a record of 49-0, urged the Irish MMA star to stop ‘crying’ about money and sign terms with his UFC bosses, so the pair can meet in the boxing ring in June.
‘When I faced Arturo Gatti, I went to his turf and he was the A-side, I was the B-side,” said Mayweather. “I beat him and I didn’t cry or I didn’t complain.
‘Oscar De La Hoya, he was the A-side, I was the B-side. I didn’t cry, I didn’t complain. I beat him and I became the A-side.
‘Now Conor McGregor, I’m officially coming out of retirement just to fight Conor McGregor. I don’t wanna hear any more excuses about the money.
‘Sign the paperwork with the UFC so you can fight me in June, simple and plain. Let’s fight in June. You’re the B-Side, I’m the A-side.
‘I’m tired of all this crying about money and blowing smoke up everybody’s ass. If you want to fight, sign the paperwork and let’s do it.’
