The cross-promotion fights (involving three of the biggest combat sports personalities) have been on the radar for quite some time now. However, nothing has been confirmed officially. Floyd Mayweather hinted at his potential return in UFC against Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov a few weeks back. Since then, there have been a lot of speculations but things are yet to materialize.
According to a report in Daily Mail Online, Floyd Mayweather was quoted as saying, “We (Himself and Dana White) talked about the Conor McGregor fight, we talked about the Khabib fight. For myself, the number is $600 million. If I am going to go out there and risk it, it would have to be worth it.”
