Conor McGregor made headlines by alleging that Terence Crawford turned down a $200 million fight offer for a two-fight deal with him, which included boxing and MMA bouts. The back-and-forth began after Crawford mocked UFC fighter Ilia Topuria's loss during a recent event, prompting McGregor to defend Topuria and criticize Crawford's comments. McGregor recounted past discussions with Crawford regarding a potential fight, highlighting his frustration over Crawford's refusal to engage in MMA. As both fighters continue their respective careers, the likelihood of a future match seems diminished since Crawford retired from boxing last year.

By the Numbers
  • McGregor claims the proposed two-fight deal would have been worth $200 million for both fighters.
  • Crawford boasts an undefeated professional boxing record of 42-0.
State of Play
  • McGregor is scheduled to return to MMA fighting at UFC 329 on July 11 against Max Holloway.
  • Crawford announced his retirement from boxing after a successful bout against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.
What's Next

As McGregor prepares for his upcoming fight, he remains focused on returning to the UFC title picture, while Crawford's retirement leaves the possibility of their match highly unlikely in the near future.

Bottom Line

McGregor's callout of Crawford underscores the lingering tensions between boxing and MMA, but with Crawford's retirement, fans may be left wondering about the potential of cross-discipline bouts that may never materialize.
