Crawford, who has no experience as a mixed martial arts fighter, said the offer came from Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority.

"They offered me the fight," Crawford, a four-division boxing champion, said in an interview with Bernie Tha Boxer. "Me and Conor got on the phone and started politicking to try and figure something out. Man, I'm not getting in no (expletive) Octagon with you so you can be kicking and elbowing me!"

McGregor, the former UFC champion, helped usher in the current era of crossover fights when he boxed Floyd Mayweather in 2017 – an event that sold more than 4 million pay-per-views.

Crawford, 37, is coming off a victory over Israil Madrimov in August and has been angling for a fight against Canelo Alvarez.
