It looks like Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are indeed talking behind the scenes to make the rematch into a reality because it was already reported that the two is nearing to close the deal and it says that the fight will be contested at 155 pounds, currently, the two are just finishing some details including the terms.

If that will happen, their rematch will likely happen somewhere in the 1st quarter of 2023 because Floyd Mayweather have 1 more exhibition fight this year versus Deji (another YouTube star) at the Coca-Cola Arena, Dubai.

We could say that this is a two rematch because they are planning two fights across two sports.

As long as they are Youtuber's MMA fighters Floyd Mayweather will surely fight, them, for me Deji is no match against Floyd Mayweather but Conor McGregor has a fighting chance because he is a fighter and he also fought Mayweather inside the ring, so he has experience in fighting him, but a huge likely that Floyd Mayweather will surely fight both these fighters,

Of course, Floyd Mayweather will always win because even professional boxers didn't have that chance to defeat him, what more for this YouTuber superstars like Deji. Mayweather is just taking advantage of their fan bases to hype and market the fight. But McGregor is another story, Floyd's chance gradually decreases if it's against him, I'm not sure if this will materialize as he already said that he's not interested to fight real players.

As time goes, the physical condition of Mayweather is no longer on its same level. If McGregor land a solid punch on him, he might
endanger his life, though the chance of winning is still high for Mayweather.

But we never know when an accident will take place, and basing on that last statement where he doesn't want to fight a real fighter
it's more on the security side.

Just play for the money and take advantage of the fan base youtubers. It's still money that he can collect, so why not, right?

Yes, McGregor just have to find that perfect timing to give Mayweather a solid punch to drop him but at the time, 5 years ago, Mayweather is still agile and quick to read McGregor's punches that's why the latter haven't successfully land a good solid punch. Now, he just wanted to play it safe that is why he released that statement, he is already 45 now and just fighting in exhibition, he need a lot of time to prepare if he will fight a high caliber boxer/fighter but that won't be enough to increase his chances as his numbers are quite high already.

Then why announce that he would not fight real boxers anymore if even Professional boxers like Pacquaio he can surely beat, well, I really think it is to his age, he is not immortal, and he can surely feel that he is now depleting, having ring rust for some that know of it, his age is really catching up to him and he can really tell that his retirement is one thing or another to be enjoyed by him that is why he has done fighting dangerous that could get his fun to a halt,

Because his chances are not the same anymore just like his power, speed and defense maneuvers. He cannot hide that fact that he is already old even if he's still fight in exhibitions, he will have the ring rust effect if he will choose to deal with the likes of Pacquiao nowadays, a May-Pac fight is profitable but knowing Mayweather, he doesn't want to get embarrassed from being defeated.
