Mega Fight Between MMA McGregor Vs.Boxing Icon Mayweather Planned By UFC President Dana White
UFC President Dana Frederick White plans to set a fight between MMA champion Conor McGregor and retired undefeated boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.
White gives a Sunday deadline to the mixed martial arts champion McGregor to agree to fight the boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather on the much-teased possibility of matching stars from both fighting realms in one match.
“I plan on having this thing locked up by this Sunday and then moving on to Team Mayweather and starting to negotiate with them. If we really do get it done in that time frame then this thing could possibly happen,” said by White on the Jim Rome radio show quoted by Manila Bulletin.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship president said that they had the right to set any match they want for McGregor and it includes his possible matchup with Floyd Mayweather. White said that on Monday (May 15, 2017) he will go to Mayweather’s camp for negotiation.
He also said that his negotiation with Mayweather’s camp has no guarantee to come to a deal. He also said that he is desperate of getting talk to that stage or shut down any chance of this match for he also needs to run his business and to focus on other things.
The planned mega fight between McGregor and Mayweather could make each fighter earn $75 million. He also said that the negotiation needs to move faster.
The 28-year-old McGregor has been one of the most popular UFC fighters, while 40-year-old Mayweather is a retired undefeated boxing champion with a record of 49 wins and 0 loss, including 16 knockout victories.
