Mayweather says Khabib Nurmagomedov fight will happen

However, Mayweather is of the opinion that Vegas, where so many of his marquee matches have taken place, is the only option as far as locations go.

Former multi-weight champion Mayweather was unable to knock McGregor down, which Nurmagomedov did over the course of the 6 October bout at the T-Mobile Arena before forcing his bitter rival to tap out.

Mayweather made it clear that he's on board, telling TMZ he wants to fight.

Nurmagomedov recently called out the retired boxing great, having extended his ideal MMA record to 27-0 by destroying McGregor in the pair's megafight in Las Vegas.

"When I face Khabib, I'm getting a nine-figure payday", said Mayweather.

TMZ Sports caught up with Mayweather (50-0), and he didn't shy away from Nurmagomedov's request for a fight whatsoever.

The Russia earned $2m from his fight with McGregor but could tens of millions for a showdown with Mayweather.

After defeating McGregor himself at UFC 229 earlier this month to also stay unbeaten, Nurmagomedov said he now wanted to face Mayweather. In the video, Nurmagomedov laughs and calls out Mayweather. The Russian has threatened to quit the UFC over the cancelation of his friend Zuybara Tukhugov's fight on the next UFC card, over his role in the post-fight melee.

"Listen, guys get very emotional and that was a very emotional fight for (Khabib). I can't say what's going on on Khabib's end, but on my end we can make it happen", Mayweather said. Let's go. Why not?

"If you look at the real fighters, not only as to who sells the most, but in terms of who's the real pound-for-pound fighter, I think he ranks right up there". Because in the jungle, there's only one king. Probably $US100m more, guaranteed. Of course, I'm the king because he cannot drop McGregor, but I drop him easily. "I don't know any fighters that have made the money I have made, so he called me out - come into my world, make it happen". "It could be somewhere upwards of $110m to $200m guaranteed".
