Conor McGregor says he and Terence Crawford were in talks about a high-profile, two-fight deal worth about $200 million. According to McGregor’s account, the proposed package was backed through negotiations involving boxing promoter Turki Alalshikh. The reports describe the offer as a major fight-and-encounter arrangement pairing Crawford with McGregor, framed as potentially spanning both MMA and boxing. McGregor also characterizes Crawford as having rejected the proposal.
The outlets present the story primarily as McGregor’s version of events, with no independent confirmation of Crawford’s response included in the provided articles. Coverage also varies slightly in currency and framing, including a reference to a £200 million figure, but the underlying claim is consistent: a lucrative two-fight proposal was offered and Crawford declined. The reports do not detail the specific reasons for the rejection or the exact dates and terms of the proposed fights. They also do not indicate whether Crawford later offered an alternative opponent or deal during the same period. The next steps, based on the coverage, remain unclear.
