Conflicting reports have continued to emerge regarding the status of a potential Conor McGregor<\/a> vs. Floyd Mayweather superfight, with UFC President Dana White, and undefeated prizefighter Floyd Mayweather denying reports of a nearly being finalized. Given this, fight fans have been left to wonder if a fight between McGregor & Mayweather will ever materialize.<\/p>\n

This week, Dana White stated in an interview that he now believed a fight between Mayweather and McGregor would happen, however according to Fox Sports’ Skip Bayless<\/a>, White was merely calling Mayweather’s bluff.<\/p>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

“I believe that Dana just put the ball right back in Floyd\u2019s court. I believe that Dana is calling Floyd\u2019s bluff, and I still think it is a big, bad bluff on Floyd\u2019s part.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re going to hold his feet to the fire. They\u2019re going to put the bus back on Floyd to come to the bargaining table – because right now, Floyd\u2019s really just jabbing and running, jabbing and running. Because he wants the public to believe he\u2019s all but screaming for a fight while on the table is an insulting offer to Conor McGregor, and in turn, to UFC that no way Conor or UFC will agree to take.<\/p>\n

So, my gut feeling, bottom line is I still doubt that Floyd May-or-may- not-weather will accept the terms of any fight, because Floyd is not going to dare to risk his 49-0 legacy against the baddest man on the planet who\u2019s what\u2026 13 years younger?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe point is that Floyd wants the public to believe that he wants this fight, but all he\u2019ll do is continue to make excuses. \u2018He wants too much money! I\u2019m the A-side and he\u2019s the B-side..\u2019<\/p>\n

No you\u2019re not, Floyd. Baloney you\u2019re the A-side. Conor McGregor is the biggest global draw in either boxing of UFC. You can put them together. He\u2019s bigger than any boxer, including the 40-year-old Floyd May-or-may-not-weather.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Floyd<\/p>\n

Expect word back from White or Mayweather shortly.<\/p>\n
