Rumors of a rematch between Irish superstar Conor McGregor and boxing royalty Floyd Mayweather have been doing the rounds. But Jorge Masvidal does not think people are interested in watching the two run it back.
'Gamebred' recently sat down for an interview with MMA Fighting. During the interaction, Masvidal discussed various topics, including a potential fight with McGregor and his thoughts on possibly facing Leon Edwards or Gilbert Burns.
At one point, the topic of a potential rematch between McGregor and 'Money' came up. The 37-year-old said that he was doubtful people would spend money to watch the second fight.
"Are people gonna wanna see Floyd and Conor again? There are people [who are] going to shell out 85 dollars to see that? Especially now with inflation and all the crazy s**t going on in the country, I think they would rather save it for the gas pump."
