- The second Conor McGregor replied to a message from Floyd Mayweather, talks of a potential second fight started up again. And not wanting to silence those rumors, Mayweather's father and trainer, Floyd Mayweather Sr., told Helen Yee Sports that there is indeed talks ongoing between the two sides.

"They are talking like him and Conor are going to fight," he said. "That's what it sounds like. I don't know for sure, but I'm just saying the way things are sounding to me."

After Mayweather earned his 50th victory with a win last year, McGregor asked for a rematch inside the Octagon. "Notorious" returns in October to challenge Khabib Nurmagomedov for the lightweight title. The elder Mayweather, though, believes if there is a second fight, it will be in the boxing ring.
