Throughout the course of 2017, conflicting reports have continued to emerge that UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor has reached a deal for a Floyd Mayweather superfight in the boxing ring.<\/a><\/p>\n

To kick off the year, Mayweather offered McGregor $15 million for a boxing match<\/a>, which resulted in UFC President Dana White firing back with a counteroffer, stating that he would be willing to give Mayweather $25 million<\/a> for a boxing match. Mayweather of course laughed at White’s offer, and called the UFC President a comedian. This was following by a pay-per view interview from McGregor, where the lightweight champ stated that he and Mayweather needed to sit down in a room and negotiate terms for a fight. Just weeks following McGregor’s interview, reports surfaced that Mayweather and McGregor had reportedly reached a deal.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

While fight fans were quick to jump on the news, both Mayweather and UFC President Dana White were quick to shut down the reports<\/a>, stating that no deal had been reached between between McGregor and Mayweather.<\/p>\n

Now, McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar is encouraged by progressive talks. He spoke to FightHub:<\/p>\n

“It started with Floyd talking, right? And now it’s evolved to the UFC making offers. So it feels more real now than it ever has. That then makes it a very, very intriguing and interesting business opportunity, and athletic opportunity for Conor. So we’re excited. Hopefully it comes to fruition.”<\/p>\n

“I think people are sleeping on Conor’s power. Again, Floyd is super experienced, you’re going into his domain. But Conor’s counter-striking, his timing, and his power…Floyd’s never faced anyone with his reach. So as a fan, I’m excited to see that. With the bigger gloves, I don’t think Conor is going to get knocked out. But I do believe he has a chance of knocking Floyd out.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s a great start. It\u2019s great that he\u2019s interested, and happy to hear that. So we\u2019re looking forward to seeing how that develops, and we\u2019ll go from there.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
