While talk of a potential Conor McGregor<\/a> vs. Floyd Mayweather boxing superfight has the entire combat sports community talking, updates regarding the potential scrap have continued to pour out. As of late however, updates have become less and less frequent in regards to the potential scrap.<\/p>\n

With Conor McGregor’s newborn son’s due date<\/a> is rapidly approaching, many fans are wondering what the UFC superstar’s next move will be. While all signs pointed to a McGregor-Mayweather showdown being made official, a new update from Showtime Sports executive Stephen Espinoza to discuss the bout, and why negotiations have hit a standstill.<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

He spoke to MMAFighting<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest battle in Mayweather-Pacquiao was both guys really thinking that the other wanted to do it. That part has happened [with McGregor and Mayweather], so I think the real question – and it\u2019s sort of a black box right now – is where\u2019s the UFC really, on this? Do they, in fact, want it? Dana – speaking on behalf of, I assume, the UFC – is making noises that he\u2019s more open to it but talk is talk. I haven\u2019t seen a lot of progress either internally in the deal between the two of them or externally, the deal between that side and this side.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s largely at a standstill. There hasn\u2019t been a ton of progress and I think if they don\u2019t move relatively quickly, people may move on. People may tire of it. But it really is something that needs to happen this year or it probably won\u2019t happen. Floyd\u2019s on 18 months, two solid years come September since he\u2019s fought. He\u2019s still in great shape, but at a certain point, he\u2019s not gonna do it after a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think part of the fear on the UFC\u2019s side is that they\u2019ll never see Conor again. If he makes 50, 60, 70 and then you never see him in the ring and he retires in Ireland and so much for their megastar.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for what we hope will be positive updates as they become available.<\/p>\n
