Floyd Mayweather told a London crowd he fully intends to make a comeback in 2020 – as long as he gets $600million for two fights.
Mayweather has been tipped for a rematch with Manny Pacquiao as he works with UFC supremo Dana White over a return to boxing.
But, speaking at an event at London's York Hall promoted by DKM Promotions, he insisted clashes with UFC stars Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov are the only fights on his radar.
Explaining how he will only fight opponents who have a "whole country behind them", Mayweather highlighted he has named his sky high price to step back into the ring.

Mayweather said: "Like we talked about on social media, there’s two names right now.

"I don’t fight fighters or compete against competitors that only have cities behind them. If I’m going to fight you, you have to have a whole country behind you.
