Boxing followers will start following Conor, MMA followers are going to start following Floyd. They\u2019re all benefiting, and no one is losing, so they\u2019re going to keep the ball rolling.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u201CBut every day I hear about this Mayweather s---, it\u2019s always about, \u2018Am I going to take the fight?\u2019 It seems like this is a pretty big deal, can I get compensated for it? ... I\u2019m like, \u2018Hey, I call your bluff. Fight [Mayweather], I\u2019ll be right here.\u2019\u201D\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Sugar Ray Leonard: McGregor-Mayweather \u2018would be interesting\u2019&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Diaz is currently in the process of negotiating the terms of a rematch with McGregor, whom he beat at UFC 196 in March. He said the proposal of a fight between McGregor and Mayweather would not affect the way he negotiates for UFC 202, which is scheduled for Aug. 20 in Las Vegas.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
