As one of the most dominant athletes on the planet, Khabib Nurmagomedov<\/a> naturally received plenty of lucrative offers to make a comeback. <\/p>\n The biggest bid of them all came for a potential crossover bout with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather<\/a>. <\/p>\n In 2021, it was revealed that Khabib Nurmagomedov rejected a $100 million offer<\/a> to fight Floyd Mayweather soon after announcing his retirement. <\/p>\n Now, Nurmagomedov explained why no amount of money could ever convince him to take that fight. <\/p>\n \u2018The Eagle\u2019 says Mayweather\u2019s morals (or lack of) mean he\u2019s someone that he will not associate with. <\/p>\n \u201cThis is a money fight, but I will never do this because I respect legacy,\u201d Nurmagomedov said during a Q&A session in New York this past weekend. <\/p>\n \u201cIf you talk about Mayweather as a man, nobody wants to be like him.<\/p>\n \u201cLook at Muhammad Ali. He\u2019s not with us, but he inspired billions of people, not just Muslims.\u201d<\/p>\n This is what Khabib Nurmagomedov had to say about Floyd Mayweather, when he was asked about the meaning of the fighter\u2019s legacy at a recent meet and greet session in New York City.
