Throughout the course of 2017, conflicting reports have continued to emerge regarding a potential Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather superfight. While the NSAC has confirmed that negotiations between the two parties are ongoing<\/a>, both Floyd Mayweather and UFC President Dana White have stated that they are quite far off from reaching a deal.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

Despite that, both parties seem to be in agreement that a deal needs to be reached so that two of the greatest combat sports athletes of this generation can meet in the ring.<\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on Submission Radio<\/a>, SBG Ireland head coach John Kavanagh gave the inside scoop on the scrap:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems like it\u2019s coming. When or how definite, I don\u2019t know, but it\u2019s looking more likely,\u201d Kavanagh told Submission Radio. \u201cAnd the two guys seem to want it and they\u2019re making moves towards it, but I won\u2019t lie, I don\u2019t know is the short answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere seems to be a lot of steps to get over with various commissions involved and different promotions involved and so on and so forth, but it\u2019s a fight that\u2019s getting more and more momentum every day and more and more people want to see it. So if you ask just me, my personal uneducated opinion on it, I would say that I believe it\u2019s gonna happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love challenges and Conor is a lot more competitive than me,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I would love the challenge of it and the spectacle of it and the level of interest. I mean, back in the day there was Muhummad Ali and (Antonio Inoki).<\/p>\n

\u201cSo yeah, I would love to see the challenge for Conor to test himself in that area,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re kind of used to being told what we can\u2019t do, but we don\u2019t pay too much attention to it, we just get on and make things happen.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
