Fight’s on ‘ Money’

-

BOXING legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather says he has no problem coming out of retirement to fight mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor in what some are predicting will be one of the richest fights in history.

“McGregor is a tough competitor. People all around the world demanded this fight so I had to give them what they wanted to see,” Mayweather told BSOTV. “They asked for this fight. I was in retirement, but they wanted me back and I’m back.”

Mayweather was making his first public comments since Wednesday’s announceme­nt of the fight which will take place August 26 in the US boxing capital of Las Vegas.
