Chael Sonnen on why the fight never got a sequel

Recently, in a video shared by Comedy Shorts, ‘The American Gangster’ Chael Sonnen spoke to comedian Andrew Schulz about why the Mayweather-McGregor rematch never materialized. Sonnen congratulated both boxers for putting together a great fight. He claimed that the promoters had an excellent opportunity to arrange a rematch. Sonnen stated, “They had both fires, which is usually the hardest thing you have right…”

Sonnen compared this situation to Jon Jones’ failed fight against Francis Ngannou. By contrast, the McGregor-Mayweather fight was different. Given the circumstances of his match, a second edition would have been better. However, Sonnen expressed disappointment at the actual outcome of “The Money Fight”. Despite the hype, he claimed that it underperformed in terms of sales. Furthermore, he noted that there was no official confirmation of the reported pay-per-view numbers.

According to Sonnen, sequels often outperform their predecessors, but high guarantees and financial missteps made a rematch between McGregor and Mayweather difficult. While the authenticity of Sonnen’s comments cannot be verified, it is worth noting that the UFC president dana white declined to discuss a possible rematch during an interview last year with the Jim Rome Show.
