Kind of crazy that Mayweather is saying him and McGregor are going to rematch and McGregor is saying he’s not interested. Starting to seem like Mayweather is losing his shine a bit if he’s chasing MMA fighters around for fights. I sort of thought he’d be retired by now but he keeps fighting exhibitions. He’s addicted to boxing.

He realized that indeed he was not as phenomenal as he used to be and of course it was a good thing for him at this time to do some exhibition fights because indeed this was something that could be considered as one of the fields of money for him at this time because he realized when this luster is almost gone but when he still wants it like that then indeed money will still be available.
But it's hard now considering McGgragor's current reaction is to say he's not really interested in it.
On the other hand I also read a statement from UFC president Dana White who said McGregor-Mayweather 2 shouldn't have happened. because McGregor has two fights left on his current UFC contract, meaning he will be free to fight Mayweather once his deal expires.

He is addicted to making money, that's for sure. Yes, he knows that Canelo is already the cash cow and all attention has shifted already. So just to remain relevant in the boxing community, he resorted or at least pioneered this exhibitions and make money, easy millions per fight. And in their first fight with Conor, it generated and easily gross as one of the highest PPV numbers, only second to his fight with Manny Pacquiao. But there is some roadblock, it's Dana White, so not sure how they can get away with it since he is against the second fight or even the first fight.
