Conor McGregor predicts win over Floyd Mayweather in rematch I was playing ping pong with his head

Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor claims that with sufficient adjustments, he could stop former boxing world champion, Floyd Mayweather in a potential future boxing rematch – claiming he was “playing ping pong” with the latter’s head in their first pairing.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, made his professional boxing debut back in August 2017 in a lucrative outing against former world champion, Mayweather, eventually succumbing to a tenth round standing TKO loss.

Conor McGregor claims he would defeat Floyd Mayweather in a potential rematch

Linked with a slew of potential hybrid rules and exhibition matchups with Mayweather in a rematch with the Michigan native, Conor McGregor claims if the two were to share the squared-circle again, he would finish the now 46-year-old.

“Round 9, I was playing ping pong with this guy’s (Floyd Mayweather) head in there at many times in this fight,” Conor McGregor tweeted, accompanied by footage of his fight against Mayweather. “If you don’t think there is some real nice adjustments that can be made and implemented in a second fight, to get the job finished, you’re silly.” 

Furthermore, Mayweather’s representative, Leonard Ellerbe recently claimed that he would be open to working with former duel-weight champion, McGregor in the future.

Slated to feature in another exhibition boxing match later this year, former world champion, Mayweather is set to draw mixed martial arts professional and John Gotti III – the grandson of former Gambino crime family leader, John Gotti.

As for McGregor, the 34-year-old striker is expected to make his Octagon return later this year in a welterweight fight against UFC lightweight contender, Michael Chandler. 

McGregor has been sidelined since suffering a fractured left tibia and fibula in a first round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 back in July 2021.

Floyd Mayweather books boxing exhibiiton with crime lord son John Gotti III

It seems as if Floyd Mayweather‘s next boxing exhibition match will be an interesting one as the boxing legend has just announced that he will be facing the grandson of the notorious crime boss John Gotti in the ring.

John Gotti III is actually an MMA fighter and holds a record of 5-1 in the octagon. His last two fights have been boxing exhibition matches, and he’s gone 2-0.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is obviously a legendary boxer. 50-0 in the squared circle, ‘Money’ has faced the greatest boxers of this generation and came out the victor. While many criticize his heavily defensive style coupled with his seemingly-arrogant persona, Mayweather is actually a very beloved figure in the boxing scene.

While many would have loved to see the legend fully retire, ‘Money’ still does what he does best: box for absurd amounts of money. His last five boxing bouts have been exhibition matches against the likes of Logan Paul, Deji, and more.

Floyd Mayweather lines up another boxing exhibition for big money against John Gotti III

While no exact date has been announced for the fight, it is rumored the event will take place in Florida. The fight is supposed to be in dedication to the memory of Marikit “Kitchie” Laurico, his longtime friend and assistant, who sadly passed away in April of 2023.

On Instagram, Mayweather shared his plans for 2023 and announced he would be participating in five exhibitions this year. The exhibitions will take place all over the world, including the USA, Australia, Japan and more.

“This is what my 2023 looks like so far…” Floyd Mayweather began. “5 exhibitions in 5 countries in 9 months, and if any of these exhibitions don’t happen, I still get paid. I’m the most active hustler in boxing. My money is guaranteed.”

Boxing icon Floyd Mayweather would love to work with combat sports’ hottest free agent, Francis Ngannou.

After nearly two years of negotiations with the UFC, the former heavyweight champion was ultimately released from the company, free to fight wherever he wants, against whoever he wants. Currently, the Cameroonian is still on the market, though recent reports suggest that he is close to signing with Asia-based fight company ONE Championship. Should things fall through between the two parties, ‘Money’ would happily sign ‘The Predator’ to his own organization, Mayweather Promotions.

“I would love to work with him, actually,” Mayweather told BetOnline.ag in a recent interview. “I would love to work with him; I would love to sign him to Mayweather Promotions. Very skilled guy, he was unbelievable from the highlights that I was able to see in MMA. I would like to work with him someday. If he wants to fight one of the top heavyweight guys, he should do it.”

Francis Ngannou is slated to make his professional boxing debut this summer, though no details regarding date, location, or opponent have been revealed. Appearing on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, British boxing promoter Eddie Hearn suggested that Anthony Joshua and heavyweight knockout king Deontay Wilder are the current frontrunners hoping to welcome Ngannou into the squared circle.

Floyd Mayweather Would Jump at the Opportunity to Train with Francis Ngannou

Asked if he would be interested in showing ‘The Predator’ a few tools of the trade before making his highly anticipated debut, Floyd Mayweather answered without hesitation.

“Absolutely,” Mayweather answered. “It’s gonna take a while…I mean, I can’t say it’s gonna take a while because in the heavyweight division, it takes just one shot. At any weight class, actually, it takes just one shot. So, with his size and his strength and his power, anything can happen…he’s powerful, and with his power and his toughness, he’s able to make some noise in the heavyweight division.”

After scoring his 50th career win over UFC superstar Conor McGregor in 2017, Floyd Mayweather officially retired from the pro boxing scene. However, ‘Money’ has remained active, competing in exhibition bouts around the globe. His highest-profile post-retirement fight came in the summer of 2021 when he went eight rounds with social media sensation and WWE Superstar Logan Paul. Mayweather has also made multiple appearances for RIZIN, a Japan-based mixed martial arts promotion.

Speaking with Wade Plem on his livestream, the ‘Problem Child’ claims it was a successful PR stunt which attracted many eyes.

This is not the first time Paul has clashed with ‘Money’ Mayweather.

The two have a history dating back to the leadup of his brother Logan’s fight with Mayweather.

They came face-to-face in a heated debate until Jake snatched his hat and a brawl broke out.

Mayweather, who’s professional record stands immaculately at 50-0, is constantly in question regarding whether or not he is actually retired, but he is clearly still enthused by the fight game.

Paul is coming off the first professional loss of his career to the hands of heavyweight icon Tyson Fury’s younger brother, Tommy Fury.

Paul has also recently signed a contract with the PFL, leaving him numerous routes to choose from in his next venture, although a rematch with Fury is favoured.

For me, if they want to fight me, they have to accept my terms. There needs to be a fair compromise, 50-50 compromise.”
