Halfway There: Conor McGregor Signs Contract to Fight Floyd Mayweather
Yes ladies and gentleman. The possibility of a Floyd Mayweather - Conor McGregor boxing match is very, very real. Both Conor McGregor, and UFC president Dana White that McGregor has agreed to the terms of the fight, and a response from Floyd is expected in the "coming days."
McGregor yesterday after agreeing to the terms, "It is an honor to sign this record-breaking deal alongside my partners Zuffa LLC, The Ultimate Fighting Championship and Paradigm Sports Management."
"The first and most important part of this historic contract has now officially been signed off on. Congratulations to all parties involved. We now await Al Haymon and his boxer's signature in the coming days."
Dana White said on the NBA on TNT post game show last night that now that McGregor's contract is set, he will now focus his attention on reaching an agreement with The Money Team.
Oh man, the thought of seeing this fight is getting me so so excited. My favorite boxer of all-time - by far - against my favorite UFC fighter of all-time, going at it? Two of the most ruthless athletes in the same ring for 12 rounds will be a spectacle for the entire world.
Reports from John Bafle indicate that Floyd could make north of $100 million for the fight, while Conor could make around $70 million himself.
Floyd said in an interview that he would come out of retirement only to fight the Irish UFC champion, and here's his chance.
Can you imagine what the pay-per-view costs for this bout will be? If Pacquiao - Mayweather was $100, i expect this fight to cost viewers between $150 and $200. No joke.
I have my fingers crossed that Floyd will agree to terms and make this fight happen.
Conor and his son are ready, that's for sure:
