The chances of Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather rematching each other in boxing competition, or any form of combat sports for that matter, are slim. However, McGregor might get the opportunity to avenge his loss to Mayweather in athletic competition.

Mayweather finished McGregor in the 10th round of their August 2017 boxing contest. Now, according to a report from talkSPORT, McGregor and Mayweather will face off again. This time, it will be in the form of a decathlon of sorts in a revamped version of the famous 1970s BBC TV show “Superstars.”

McGregor has reportedly been offered $10 million to participate in the New Years Eve show in Japan. A source in the report notes, “Conor is on the edge of signing. There is no direct combat involved so it doesn’t breach his UFC contract and he should be fine to take part.”

“Superstars” featured athletes competing in an assortment of challenges against one another; including running, rowing, tennis, basketball, shooting, and swimming. Competitors are awarded points based on their position, with the overall winner being declared the champion.

If this comes to fruition, it will be Mayweather’s second New Years Eve in Japan. Last year, Mayweather participated in an exhibition boxing bout with Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa for $9 million. Mayweather walked through Nasukawa with ease, finishing the Japanese star.

Floyd Mayweather Names The ‘Best MMA Fighter In The World’

Floyd Mayweather isn’t just the biggest name in all of boxing, but he’s one of the biggest in all of combat sports.

Floyd Mayweather isn’t just the biggest name in all of boxing, but he’s one of the biggest in all of combat sports.

Although the 50-0 undefeated legend’s days of fighting are likely behind him, that doesn’t mean he’s staying out of the public eye. “Money” recently took to social media to make a claim that certainly got a lot of mixed martial arts (MMA) fans talking.

“Money” posted a highlight clip of fighter Makhmud “Mach” Muradov. Mayweather dubbed Muradov the “best MMA fighter in the world.” The claim opened up a lot of chatter from fans in his replies.

ESPN’s Ariel Helwani shed some light on the situation. Helwani mentioned that, from what he is told, Muradov is the only MMA fighter currently signed to Mayweather’s “The Money Team” (TMT) promotion.

With that being said, this is simply a brilliant promotional move by Mayweather, using his former rivalry with Conor McGregor to get some shine on one of his fighters. Muradov currently holds a record of 21-6 and is on an 11-fight win streak. He hasn’t been defeated since 2016. It will be interesting to see if the middleweight one day makes his way to the UFC.

Talk of a rematch between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is once again beginning to heat up.

Pacquiao comes off a WBA welterweight title victory over Keith Thurman this past weekend. “The Pac-Man” has since been showered with questions about a potential rematch with “Money” after their initial meeting in 2015. Mayweather won the bout via decision, however, it was later revealed Pacquiao was fighting with a torn rotator cuff.

All the talk about a potential rematch seems to have upset Mayweather, who posted the following lengthy statement on Instagram:

“I find it real ironic how every time Pacquiao’s name is brought up in the media, my name is always attached to it. This man’s entire legacy and career has been built off its association with my name and it’s about time you all stop using my brand for clout chasing and clickbait and let that man’s name hold weight of its own.

“For years, all you heard was that ” Floyd is afraid of Manny Pacquiao”. But what’s funny is, when we finally fought, I won so easily that everyone had to eat their words! All of the so called boxing experts, critics and jealous American “fan base” either went mute and ran for cover or made every excuse in the world as to why I should give Manny Pacquiao a rematch.

“My take on all this bullshit is that y’all are just upset that I broke Rocky Marciano’s record and hate the fact that a Black, high school dropout outsmarted you all by beating all odds and retiring undefeated while maintaining all my faculties simply by making smart choices and even smarter investments. Ultimately, I will always have the last laugh!”

Pacquiao swiftly responded to Mayweather’s comments with a brief message on his Twitter page:

“.@FloydMayweather You come to my fight and then use my name in a post but I’m the one that is trying to stay relevant? if you want to be relevant again… #MayPac2

Mayweather then posted another lengthy response on his Instagram page:

“SWIPE LEFT Let’s stick to the facts! Bob Arum is no longer your promoter, so when it comes to @mayweatherpromotions & PBC events I’m the HNIC! 
Bottom line, I make more money than you; I beat you, then I signed you!

“I was only at your fight supervising you, my employee, as any real BOSS would do. You made $10Million for 12 rounds, when I just made $9M in under 3 minutes playing around in an exhibition with a pizza delivery guy! I beat you mentally, physically and financially! 
Remember, you fight cause you have to, I fight when I want to!”

Pacquiao responded with one final blow, suggesting he’ll draw up a fight contract and send it to Mayweather for him to sign:

“Excuse me Floyd, your name has not been on any of my PBC contracts. But if you would like to be on the next one, I will have one drawn up and sent to you. #CounterfeitMoney

It looks like the potential for a boxing fight between Floyd Mayweather and Khabib Nurmagomedov is still lurking.

UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov previously called out “Money” shortly after his big win over Conor McGregor at UFC 229. However, Mayweather doubled down that any potential fight between himself and “The Eagle” would have to take place inside of the boxing ring – not in mixed martial arts (MMA).

Recently speaking to TMZ Sports, Khabib’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, claimed that Mayweather’s camp is still “begging” to fight the 155-pound champion:

“One thing I tell you, Abdelaziz said. “Floyd Mayweather to this day keep begging to fight Khabib. Begging! Floyd run out of money. Im telling you, people reaching out to me every week about Floyd to fight Khabib. But at the end of the day, we’re not interested. For now. At the end of the day, we fighting Dustin Poirier, he’s a true number one contender.

“We got the guy with the cheap glasses, “El Cucuy,” is next. We got a lot of killers in this weight division. We got my man Georges St-Pierre. He might be next too. I can see Georges fighting Khabib before Tony fight Khabib. But, of course, Dustin Poirier is next.”

Khabib is set to unify his lightweight title with that of interim champ Dustin Poirier at UFC 242. The pay-per-view (PPV) event goes down from the du Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Saturday, September 7.
