Floyd Mayweather Jr. defeated Conor McGregor in a boxing match last year. The rumours about the two locking horns in a MMA bout have been gaining a lot of steam lately. Hence, it has left a lot of fans as well as pundits wondering whether a fight in the UFC would materialise or not. Hence, when a fan asked Wilder about the potential fight, he bluntly replied that Mayweather won’t compete in MMA. Here’s what the boxing champion had to say:

“I don’t think he’s (Mayweather) gonna do it….Why would he get in the octagon?

I don’t think he’s ever coming back. Why would he come back? For fan’s pleasure. Most of the people hate him, they want to see him lose.

He’s living his life right now. Enjoy your family, live like you want to. That’s the whole idea. That’s where we all are trying to get to.”

 

Wilder has raised some valid points. However, money can play a huge factor in the making of such fights. Even ‘Money’ Mayweather will surely be tempted to give MMA a try for $500 million.
