Preliminary talks over a rematch between UFC superstar Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr are allegedly underway, according to Floyd Mayweather Sr.
"They are talking like him and Conor McGregor are going to fight,” Mayweather Sr told Helen Yee over the weekend. “That’s what it sounds like.
“I don’t know for sure but I’m just saying the way things are sounding to me. Sounds like he (my son) wants to fight again.”
He continued: “I’m just saying I think they are going to fight the same way [boxing rules].
“I think that Conor McGregor wants to get that win back that he had, which is never coming back to him anyway.
“It’s being talked about and it sounds like there is a lot of interest in it right now.”

Boxing News - Canelo Alvarez slams Gennady Golovkin
Canelo Alvarez has revealed he no longer respects Gennady Golovkin ahead of their eagerly-anticipated rematch, which takes place a week on Saturday.
“No, in the same way actually, it's going to be worse. The respect that we had was lost,” the Mexican said.
“He crossed the line with his statements, with what he said, with the excuses, with all the crying from his team. So the respect, it was completely lost, and that's how it will continue.
“In fact, this loss of respect and their statements and what they all said, this will help me to give 100 per cent and give that extra push to leave it clear that I'm the better fighter.”
