Adrien Broner claims Floyd Mayweather 'carried' Conor McGregor in their 2017 boxing bout and says the American had planned to win the fight in the tenth round.
The Notorious lasted a lot longer than many anticipated against Mayweather, but Broner claims it was all part of Money's plan.
Mayweather's former protege and friend told VladTV: "He carried him to the tenth round, stopped him, like he told me he was going to do.
Mayweather took his professional record to 50-0 with the win over McGregor, who has been linked to returning to the boxing ring to face Manny Pacquiao.
McGregor teased a return to fighting earlier this week when replying to a tweet about the Diaz brothers, in which he said: "Line them up".
With his 2016 fights against Nate among the UFC's top pay-per-views in the promotion's history, it's likely that the blockbuster returns could shatter records once again.
And with McGregor explaining that his reasoning for retirement was a lack of exciting fight opportunities, perhaps this could draw him out.
In fact, McGregor is priced at just 4/1 to take on the Stockton fighter as Diaz targets a January 2021 return after five years away from the cage.
