Fans of Conor McGregor<\/a> are all anxiously waiting for some sort of official announcement regarding his next bout. Whether it is in the UFC or stepping into the world of professional boxing<\/a> against Floyd Mayweather, people just want to see “The Notorious” fight.<\/p>\n

Conor McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar spoke with Ariel Helwani on Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour<\/a> and gave his latest on the bout negotiations between the undefeated boxing star and current UFC lightweight champion.<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cListen, I think there\u2019s fan interest and I think that\u2019s what\u2019s brought us to a point where this thing may possibly happen,\u201d Attar said (transcribed by Daily Star<\/a>).<\/p>\n

“But we\u2019ll see, nothing is set in stone. I think it\u2019s one of those things where it\u2019s a work in progress.<\/p>\n

“But it\u2019s definitely heading in the right direction.”<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/a><\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White recently said<\/a> that he believes Floyd Mayweather will make over $100 million for the fight against McGregor, which meets Mayweather demands of a guaranteed $100 million<\/a> for a fight. As for McGregor’s purse, White believes that Conor will walk away with around $75 million for his part in the superfight. White also stated that he still has to meet with Team Mayweather to go over the negotiations and lock in a deal.<\/p>\n

Helwani tried to dig deeper for more information from Attar but was told that the fight has still not been made official.<\/p>\n

“To be honest with you, we still don’t know (if it will happen).<\/p>\n

“You’ve got to believe and think about anything you want to do. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that all dreams come true. So I think in relation to that, it’s not done.”<\/p>\n
