“If it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen in 2023, not 2022.

“So this year I got an exhibition this Saturday, which will be in the US and once again it’s Sunday in Japan.

Mayweather has not fought in a sanctioned bout since stopping McGregor, 34, in ten rounds, earning almost £300m in the process.

And he would demand a similar payday if he is to give his Irish rival a crack at his undefeated streak again.

Mayweather said: “If the price is right. Of course, they already talked to me about the number that I’m going to receive.

“Of course, it’s nine-figures and probably – I don’t want to say huge in the nine-figures – but we have to at least start at $100million for Floyd Mayweather.”
