Floyd Mayweather Jr. has just added the biggest chapter in the word war with Conor McGregor. He has now declared himself out of retirement to further to show he is ready and to further coax McGregor to sign the papers for the mega fight that is touted to be the biggest fight in boxing history.

The Telegraph says that for Floyd Mayweather Jr. the mega fight will just another business transaction for him and says that for Mcgregor it would make great business sense to fight him before McGregor loses in a UFC fight. Floyd Mayweather Jr. asserts that rather than lose to another fighter in the UFC, he believes it would be better for McGregor to lose to him for a huge amount of money. McGregor insists though that Floyd Mayweather Jr. needs him more in this fight so he will stay relevant as his popularity is waning.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants the fight to happen in June 2017 and wants McGregor to sign the papers as soon as possible. Sources from both camps believe that the fight will likely happen if they could get the UFC on board with the deal.

The fight deal terms revealed that the fight will push through if Floyd Mayweather Jr. gets $100 million for the fight and McGregor gets $15 million plus a small percentage of the pay-per-view revenue. Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants Showtime to take care of the broadcast rights and pay-per-view aspects of the fight while UFC will want it to be controlled by the organization president Dana White, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Now, all that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is waiting for is the go signal from McGregor and the UFC. So far the UFC has stayed quiet while McGregor is on hiatus from fighting. He is slated to come back after the birth of his first child, but will a boxing match be his first fight in his return?
