Throughout the course of 2017, conflicting reports have continued to emerge regarding the status of a potential Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather superfight in the boxing ring.<\/p>\n

While Mayweather and the UFC President both made one another offers<\/a>, neither offer was pleasing to both men, and as a result talks appeared to die down. Shortly after however, the NSAC confirmed that while a fight was still far off from being finalized, negotiations between the two parties were ongoing. This has then been followed up by several conflicting reports of whether or not a fight was close, with both Mayweather and White saying that a fight was far from official.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Floyd<\/p>\n

Now however, UFC President Dana White is very confident that a fight could happen, telling Fox Sports:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI do. I do think it\u2019s going to happen,\u201d White said. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be a tough deal, there\u2019s obviously a lot of egos involved in this deal and a lot of people so that always makes it tougher.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn the flipside, there\u2019s so much money involved, I just don\u2019t see how it doesn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be boxing. No kicking, no elbows, just straight-up boxing, in a boxing ring with gloves and the whole deal. A lot of things make this fight intriguing but the reality is this \u2014 anybody who has ever seen Floyd Mayweather, he\u2019s this big (motioning at his small size). Conor McGregor is huge,\u201d White said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s 27 years old, he\u2019s in the prime of his career. Floyd is 40. Floyd always had problems with southpaws, Conor is a southpaw and Conor hits hard. When Conor hits people, they go. Floyd\u2019s definitely not knocking him out, that\u2019s for sure. I\u2019m not saying that Conor would win this boxing match but it sure makes it interesting.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

This of course comes on the heels of UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping stating that Mayweather was scammed out of quite a bit of money in Las Vegas<\/a>, and as a result will be seeking a fight with Conor McGregor even moreso to replace the money he was allegedly scammed out of.<\/p>\n
