Sean O'Malley eyes boxing match with Floyd Mayweather after UFC 299 win he's still kicking

UFC bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley continues to show interest in boxing, this time targeting Floyd Mayweather.

O’Malley is fresh off a phenomenal performance against Marlon Vera, dominating the entire 25-minute fight. After his first successful title reign, ‘Suga’ has never been a bigger name, the fights he can be involved in will only get bigger should he continue down this path.

O’Malley does not seem the keenest on setting a title defence record, however, calling out featherweight champion Ilia Topuria during his post-fight speech. O’Malley has also continued to call out high-level boxers in podcast and media appearances, claiming he could beat the likes of Ryan Garcia should the two square off. 

The 29-year-old spoke on The MMA Hour regarding Garcia, who had mentioned the idea of transitioning to MMA. Garcia has also been posting bizarre videos and messages to social media over the past couple of weeks, it is unclear what exactly is going on with him.

“Again, I think mentally that kid isn’t where he needs to be.” Sean O’Malley began. “We’ll see how he looks against Devin Haney and go from there. I think that an MMA fight is so unrealistic, there’s a zero per cent chance he would ever even make it to that fight. It would take one MMA session, one wrestling day, one jiu-jitsu with anyone who knows anything for him to realize this is a bad idea.”

O’Malley would then suggest the idea of boxing Mayweather, who has continued to do regular exhibition contests up until June of last year.

“If anything happened it would be boxing I mean, I don’t even know if I want to build up with that kind of fight given where his head is now,” O’Malley continued. “You know, just because it would be massive. It might not be it, but there’s still big fights up there still. Floyd’s still kicking, Floyd’s still running around in the boxing room.”

“I keep doing what I’m doing, I might just skip Ryan. I might just skip Gervonta [Davis].” Sean O’Malley concluded on The MMA Hour. “Go straight for the big dog.”

Ex-Boxing star Floyd Mayweather shows off eye-Watering $18 million IRS tax bill, suite price for Super Bowl

Floyd Mayweather reveals $18 million IRS tax bill and Super Bowl suite ticket cost boxing star

Former boxing world champion Floyd Mayweather brags about his Super Bowl suite and enormous tax bill. 

Despite being retired, Mayweather’s spending habits have not appeared to slow down, as the five-weight boxing champion continues to live lavishly. The 46-year-old was always brash, flaunting his money, cars and watches at every possible opportunity throughout his career.  

Even now, 46-year-old Mayweather regularly posts to social media to show off his wealth. Whether it be a new supercar, briefcase of money or a new piece of designer clothing, best believe you won’t have to look hard to find it on Mayweather’s social media.

Floyd Mayweather reveals massive IRS tax bill

This time Floyd Mayweather would share a picture of a cheque he had written to the tune of $18 million, which would be paid to the tax man. Of course, this would not come before bragging about spending $1 million on a Superbowl box. 

“Just before I paid that light million and change for that little Super Bowl stuff, I had to pay the IRS aka Uncle Sam $18,047,181. This is what I owed in taxes while I’m retired so just imagine what I was paying when I was activated.”

There have been rumours circulating for years that Mayweather had money problems, but the spending never seems to stop. Mayweather has competed in multiple boxing exhibition bouts since his official retirement from professional boxing. The American would have received a sizeable payment for his fight against Logan Paul which drew great interest at the time but has also gone on to fight on to fight on shows with barely any in attendance against John Gotti III. 

It’s unclear if Mayweather will continue to take on these exhibition bouts, let’s just hope he has solid investments if he continues to spend money the way he does. 

Who do you think Floyd Mayweather should fight next?

Legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather is being sued by a California man after he allegedly directed a bodyguard to assault the man during an incident nearly two years ago.

According to a report from TMZ, Mayweather is being sued by Eduardo Andres Torres Martinez of Los Angeles over an alleged incident that took place at the Yard House at L.A. Live located near Crypto.com Arena — formerly known as The Staples Center — on February 10, 2022.

The lawsuit claims that Martinez was filming ‘Money’ and his crew with a cellphone camera when the pugilist entered the restaurant. Martinez alleges that Mayweather noticed him filming and signaled for one of his bodyguards to intervene. The bodyguard then allegedly knocked Martinez down to the ground with an unspecified blow and began wrestling with him in an attempt to confiscate the cell phone, “causing further injuries and damages,” according to an official complaint.

Martinez filed a battery report shortly after the incident, but LAPD sources have allegedly told TMZ that a witness contradicted his version of the story.

Martinez is seeking unspecified “general damages for past, present and future pain, distress, anguish and suffering, including physical and mental pain and suffering, inconvenience, emotional stress, and impairment of the quality of life,” as well as other damages, the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit names Mayweather, the Money Team LLC, and the Yard House as defendants.

Mayweather has denied that the incident ever took place, with a representative of the boxer saying that he had only “stopped by” the restaurant and left because it was too crowded.

Conor McGregor and Manny Pacquiao

Conor McGregor is always looking for a way to extend his rivalry with legendary pugilist Manny Pacquaio.

‘PacMan’ surprised fight fights on New Year’s Eve, revealing that a rematch with Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather was in the works for 2024. Pacquiao dropped the bombshell while making an appearance at RIZIN 45 inside the iconic Saitama Super Arena in Japan. The bout has not been officially announced, but if true, it will come nearly a decade removed from their ‘Fight of the Century’ scrap in 2015.

“I will see you here in Japan again, for a big fight,” the former eight-division world champion said before turning around and seemingly asking for permission to announce his opponent “Floyd Mayweather, I thought you wouldn’t want me to say that. I am excited for that. Thank you for always supporting RIZIN promotions” (h/t DailyMail).

Conor McGregor shared the clip on Instagram whilst taking a dig at Pacquiao, writing: “A lesson in how not to make an announcement.

Conor McGregor makes his own blockbuster announcement

Of course, the Irishman offered his own big New Year’s reveal, confirming that he would make his long-awaited return to the Octagon on June 28 to headline UFC 302 as part of the promotion’s annual International Fight Week in Las Vegas. McGregor is expected to square off with former Bellator MMA champion ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler in a 185-pound showdown.

Weeks before the announcement, McGregor vented his frustration over his lengthy layoff, suggesting that if the UFC didn’t lock down a date for his “greatest comeback in combat sports history,” he would pursue a fight with Pacquiao in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

“Get me back in there,” he told talkSPORT. “The Mac has lots to offer and loads to deliver. They are talking Manny here in Saudi. The lads in the UFC aren’t really talking any. So, the lads here are talking Manny, the UFC aren’t talking any. Give me something. I’m supposed to be back in April. It was supposed to be December!

“Tell Manny to grow a set of balls and fight me at a higher weight class. Why not? It’s his sport. If he wants me to come down to a smaller weight, I should be able to use more of my weapons. I should be able to kick. I should be able to grapple. Shouldn’t that be fair? Say it to him. Is he a man or a mouse? Is Manny a man or a mouse?”

Conor McGregor calls for boxing rematch with Floyd Mayweather again I'd love another go

Failing in his prior approaches to land a professional boxing rematch with former world champion, Floyd Mayweather following their initial 2017 bout – former UFC champion, Conor McGregor appears to be taking a ‘kill them with kindness’ approach this time around, praising the former’s title defense win over current champion, Canelo Alvarez.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, fought former world champion boxer, Mayweather in a professional boxing debut back in 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Sharing a tense buildup over the course of the months ahead of their August clash, McGregor was eventually stopped with a standing tenth round TKO – with Mayweather snatching a 50-0 professional boxing record, and immediately calling time on his professional career following the stoppage victory.

Maintaining in the time since that he would likely beat and even stop Mayweather with strikes if they were to compete against each other again, McGregor, 35, had in his latest attempt to entice the Grand Rapids native to fight him once more, heralded his 2013 decision victory over current world champion and sport star, Canelo Alvarez.

“One of the greatest performances in professional boxing this was,” Conor McGregor posted on his official X account, accompanied by footage of Floyd Mayweather’s fight with Cnaelo Alvarez. “I landed more shots on Floyd than Canelo. I’d love another go.” 

Expected to make his own fighting return for the first time since suffering a gruesome leg injury back in 2021, McGregor is pegged to fight Michael Chandler in a UFC comeback next year, at the welterweight limit to boot.

Serving as an opposing coach on The Ultimate Fighter 31 earlier this year against the former Bellator MMA lightweight champion, McGregor had initially planned a December comeback, however, has only returned to the outgoing anti-doping agency, USADA’s testing pool last week – and must first spend a period of six months in the testing pool.

Conor McGregor issues another bizarre call out to Floyd Mayweather Oh Floydddd UFC Boxing

Despite the fact he is currently lined up for an expected return to combat sports inside the Octagon and under the UFC banner, veteran striker, Conor McGregor has called for a presumedly, another crack at undefeated professional boxer, Floyd Mayweather – having first attempted to defeat the Michigan puncher back in 2017.

McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, most recently featured atop a UFC 264 card in July 2021 in a trilogy rubber match against former interim lightweight titleholder, Dustin Poirier.

Sidelined since then, McGregor, 35, would ultimately fracture his left tibia and fibula in the opening round against Poirier, leading to a doctor’s stoppage TKO loss.

As for Mayweather, on the other hand, following his 2017 standing TKO win over McGregor in Las Vegas, Nevada, the former multiple time and weight world boxing champion has taken part in numerous exhibition bouts against the likes of Logan Paul, Tenshin Nasukawa, and most recently – John Gotti III, which ended in a mass brawl between both groups.

Conor McGregor now switches focus to Floyd Mayweather 

However, permanently chasing a rematch with Mayweather following his stoppage loss to the now-46-year-old in his professional boxing debut, McGregor issued a series of now-deleted posts on his official X account – including a voice memo with him calling out, Mayweather.

“Don’t forget, I played ping pong with Floyd’s (Mayweather) head,” Conor McGregor wrote. “I carried him! In the rematch, I am going to use this style of attack but alongside a more destructive set of shots on top also. B4, it was just ping pong, this time it’s ping pong and Babe Ruth with a baseball bat. KO incoming.” 

Making his professional boxing debut and sole outing inside the squared circle against Grand Rapids native, Mayweather back in 2017, suffering a tenth round standing TKO defeat to the former at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
