Floyd Mayweather has revealed he wants £464million to return to the boxing ring in 2020 to face Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The 43-year-old made £300million for his crossover bout with McGregor in August 2017 and has been in retirement ever since.

The 50-0 boxing legend has teased a sensational return to the ring to face and has previously revealed he is eyeing bouts with the UFC stars.
Commenting on the speculation at a DKM Promotion’s event at York Hall, in quotes obtained by the Mirror, the boxer said: “Like we (Mayweather and UFC president Dana White) talked about on social media, there’s two names right now.
“We talked about the Conor McGregor fight, we talked about the Khabib fight.

“For myself, the number is $600million (£464million). If I’m going to go out there and risk it, it’d have to be worth it.”
Mayweather also said his fight against McGregor, which he won with a 10th round knockout, made sense financially.
He added: “That was a business move. In the boxing world as of right now, it doesn’t make sense for me to fight any ordinary fighter.

“I’m a business man. The Conor McGregor fight made sense. If it makes money, it makes sense.
“I don’t fight fighters or compete against competitors that only have cities behind them. If I’m going to fight you, you have to have a whole country behind you.
“The first fight was entertaining. It’s an entertainment business.”
