Mayweather 'absolutely' interested in McGregor rematch

Following Floyd Mayweather's exhibition bout with Logan Paul, the boxing star is open to running it back with Conor McGregor.

"Absolutely, he easy," Mayweather said of a potential rematch with the former UFC champion while promoting the Paul fight Thursday, according to Shakiel Mahjouri of MMA Mania.

Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe also pushed for a second fight with McGregor on Thursday, saying it would be a "very personal" thing, per MMA Fighting.

When asked why the bad blood with McGregor had resurfaced after a respectful embrace following Mayweather's win over the Irishman in 2017, the 44-year-old said: “The beef is all these guys look up to me, steal my blueprint, and then get to hating on me."

The 4.3-million pay-per-view buys for Mayweather-McGregor was the second-most in combat sports history, behind only Mayweather's fight with Manny Pacquiao, per Tapology.

Mayweather reportedly earned between $275 million and $300 million for the bout, while McGregor took home around $100 million.

The UFC star reportedly flirted with the idea of returning to boxing against Pacquiao prior to his TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in January. McGregor and Poirier are set to clash for a third time July 10.
