Floyd Mayweather v. Conor McGregor, the rematch!

Floyd “Money” Mayweather spoke about his second (rematch) fight against Conor McGregor, indicating that he would prefer an exhibition fight.

He is, however, open to discussing whether this one should actually become a professional fight, which would add a win or loss to his immaculate record of 50 wins, 27 by knockout, in 50 professional fights.

If all the pieces fall into place, this second duel should take place somewhere in 2023, according to Mr. Money himself, who will face Mikuru Asakura on September 25 in Japan.

Following this fight, will he say the same thing he said about McGregor after the Notorious fight?

(It was not nice)

“Good riddance, old pal.”

The 46-year-old Toronto native is actually very proud of these three new scars in addition to all the ones she already had!

Juraj Slafkovsky destroys another stationary bike!

Juraj Slafkovsky is a monster, no less.

When he jumps on a stationary bike for physical tests, he practically destroys it because he is so powerful .

https://twitter.com/HabsInHighHeels/status/1572707496871231489

Rest in peace dear stationary bike.

The Montreal Canadiens’ first choice, only 18 years old, has all the assets to carve out a position to start the season… despite a more quiet camp for prospects offensively.

Remember that the Montreal Canadiens launched their training camp on Wednesday and as usual, the players were invited to the physical tests.

Even if Juraj Slafkovsky still hasn’t played any official game in the NHL, he has a rating of 78 at NHL23, which is quite high.

James delivered a very inspiring message via his Instagram account last week, certainly inspiring many.
