McGregor and Mayweather reportedly agree fight

On the other hand, Mayweather is a double weight UFC champion but is yet to fight in a sanctioned boxing match.

Included in the story was a quote from a source that said the two “have both settled on their respective fees”.

There is the prospect of a “billion dollar fight” between Mayweather and McGregor, but it needs close and scrutinized sanctioning.

According to the report, McGregor and Mayweather haven’t formally signed an agreement, due to a third party hold-up, but, an agreement has been reached between the 28-year old McGregor and the 39-year old Mayweather.

McGregor is set to travel to Las Vegas having cancelled a personal appearance in Dublin scheduled for Friday night, which is thought to be so the Irishman can finalize details of his Nevada State Boxing License. The match with Berto was a PPV bust but elevated Mayweather to 49-0, tying Rocky Marciano’s famous record.

He’ll film an anti-bullying video as part of his consequences, and while in Vegas, his team will reportedly continue working towards getting the super fight with Mayweather worked out. Veteran boxing reporter and Senior Writer for Yahoo!

ESPN’s well known broadcaster Stephen A Smith who has a close relationship with Mayweather, spoke a short time ago on the positive signs Mayweather indicated to him this past weekend about the fight happening.

But Mayweather’s father Floyd Sr believes that not even he could coach McGregor to a victory over his son.

The fight that makes sense for only one reason – money – appears to be moving ever closer, according to online reports. The larger-than-life McGregor started his career in combat sports as an amateur boxer.

As for that “third party holdup”, it could be the UFC – as Dana White’s company has Conor under contract. The study also found that UFC 205 supported 300 jobs in the NY metro area and generated $1.6 million in taxes for the state. “Tell you what, Floyd, here’s a real offer _ and I’m the guy who can make the offer _ we’ll pay you $25 million and Conor $25 million”.
