JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather Jr and Conor McGregor are getting closer to a rematch deal. McGregor will use that moment to ask Money, Mayweather's nickname, to risk the title of being unbeaten.
Quoted from The Sun, the two are said to have reached an agreement privately based on information from people closest to them. However, the rematch schedule has not been determined because there are still arguments about the number of rounds to be played.
McGregor reportedly wants the match to be run in ten rounds. He wanted to prove himself better than Mayweather Jr.
"Connor will only fight as long as Floyd is willing to put his professional record on the line, so the fight isn't going to be an exhibition, it's going to be an official fight", the source said.
"There are arguments about the current round with Connor's team wanting 10 rounds. But the deal and rights are definitely there", the source continued.
Reliable sources also say that to undergo a rematch in the 155-pound class, McGregor needs to lose weight. Because since recovering from a broken leg, McGregor has weighed more than 190 pounds.

"It will be a 155-pound fight. That's what we know so far. This will be the last time Floyd steps in the ring so nothing is missed", the source said.
"A deal is very close. Personal terms have been agreed upon by both parties. This will be one last show. And yes, records will be at stake", he added.
The rematch plan came after Mayweather allegedly made a £131.5 million bid to Conor McGregor. The undefeated champion boasted that the fights would be easy and made a lot of money easily too.
It was reported last month that the two sporting legends were in talks over a possible rematch which could be worth £830 million.
UFC legend McGregor later went on to take to Instagram to claim that the deal was done. This was seen when McGregor shared a photo from their first fight in June 2017 with the caption "I accept".
