Regarding the potential purse on any fight between the pair, Mayweather had this to say: “We are willing to give him $15m and then we can talk about splitting the percentage, the back end percentage on pay per view. But of course, we’re the A side. You know how can a guy talk about 20 or 30 million when he’s never even made 8 or 9 million? I’m saying right here on this show, Conor McGregor keeps telling everybody he wants the fight. Let’s make it happen", he said.
While any fight is a gross mismatch, and the fact that the CEO of Mayweather Promotions said that any fight with McGregor will never happen, 'The Money' reaffirmed that he's strictly a businessman and that “the only thing that I’m probably interested in, is probably the Conor McGregor fight. I’m a business man and it makes more business sense.”
Here's his interview in full.

In case you're wondering, C.J Watson is a basketball player that's currently playing for Orlando Magic. In 2010, rumours spread that Watson had a relationship with Josie Harris, Mayweather's former long-term partner and mother to three of his four children.
In December 2011, Mayweather pleaded guilty to one count of battery domestic violence and no contest to two counts of harassment for hitting Harris. The boxer was then sentenced to 90 days in jail.Explore more on these topics:
