Several weeks ago news emerged that UFC President Dana White was able to secure Conor McGregor<\/a>‘s side of a deal for a potential boxing match with Floyd Mayweather. White then revealed that with McGregor’s side of the deal done<\/a>, he would now move to negotiating with Floyd Mayweather’s team.<\/p>\n

Since then, there have been no further updates regarding the status of a potential McGregor-Mayweather showdown. With that being said however, UFC President Dana White recently spoke to the press in New York to reveal that while the percentages haven’t been discussed, he is confident that a deal will be reached. MMAFighting<\/a> has the transcription:<\/p>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

\u201cWe haven\u2019t even got there yet. We haven\u2019t even talked percentages yet. Floyd can think whatever, but the machine that the UFC has and Conor McGregor alone is a machine by himself. I think that 50-50 is pretty fair.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think this thing does, conservatively, between 2-1\/2 and 4 million buys. Other people think more. \u2026 And this thing will kill it, globally. Conor McGregor and the UFC are huge in Brazil, huge in Australia, massive in the UK and other parts of Europe.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While talks have continued to progress, fans are still skeptical as to whether or not the fight will end up actually happening. According to Dana White, there’s a “75 percent” chance the fight happens:<\/p>\n

\"Conor<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very bullish on this fight, I think it happens. These guys are gonna have to come up with something way out of left field for this fight not to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re ready to go, and I think what we\u2019re looking at in the deal is as fair as fair can be. You\u2019ve gotta understand, Floyd and [Al] Haymon and that group are used to dealing with the scummiest human beings on the planet Earth. I think it\u2019s a little refreshing working with us, and I\u2019m not just being arrogant. They\u2019ve said that to us. I can see it getting done.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
