OLYMPIC champion Michael Carruth has branded a Conor McGregor rematch with Floyd Mayweather as a cash grab- with the Notorious set to land €100million from it.
The former boxer has described the possible clash between the pair as little more than an exhibition fight.
Mayweather, 45, claimed yesterday a 2023 rematch with McGregor is in the pipeline and said the highly-anticipated bout could be a professional fight but he would prefer an exhibition.
However, last night the UFC star appeared to rule out the megabucks rematch - throwing the fight into doubt.
In a cryptic online message, McGregor said he was "not interested in another grudge fight with Mayweather, despite the fact it could earn him a cool €100million.
It has been five years since Mayweather and McGregor, 34, combined for a fight in Las Vegas in August 2017 with "Money" securing a 10th-round victory.
