"If I do come back, it has to be in the octagon", said Mayweather while being interviewed on Showtime.
UFC star McGregor crossed over to boxing in August to face Mayweather in the second-highest grossing fight in history, with the American winning via a 10th-round stoppage in Las Vegas.
Word spread in March that Mayweather was in training with Tyron Woodley, a welterweight UFC champion. There have also been rumored negotiations with the UFC over the past few months, though details have been scarce. Rumors have circled for a while about the possibility of Mayweather competing in the MMA promotion. Not everyone is supportive of such a move. I spoke with Al Haymon, Al says no.
Moyes confident West Ham need just two more wins
From the subsequent corner, however, West Ham switched off and allowed Azpilicueta two bites before he jabbed the ball in. However, they have not lost in 11 home Premier League games against the Hammers (W8 D3).
Mayweather spoke on SHOWTIME about McGregor's troubles in the past few days but his response has been labelled as massively hypocritical, given his own background. "It is possible I do come back, but if I do come back, it has to be in the Octagon".
Floyd Mayweather is the greatest boxer of a generation. And, at least for now, it sounds like something he genuinely wants to do.

Multiple injuries reported as Masters-bound bus crashes
He said passengers told authorities the bus had drifted off the edge of the road twice before it veered a third time and crashed. PREVIOUS STORY: A bus crash resulted in the vehicle overturning on Interstate 20 outside of Augusta, GA Thursday morning.
While the logistics of his MMA weight class and commitments with Showtime and CBS would have to be worked out, Mayweather gave the impression his primary concern was securing a big payday for a potential MMA match. Of course, the number is going to be insane.
"I can do whatever I want to". The 41-year-old may not be done fighting, but he has no plans to come back to boxing.
Mayweather retired with a 50-0 boxing record. "We're going to make that fight". "But if I do come back it has to be in the octagon". Whether McGregor is involved could be another matter entirely. McGregor was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief after a UFC media event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn in which McGregor allegedly threw a metal dolly at a bus window.
