After an entire year of rumor and bickering, it appears that Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather are going to engage in a boxing match. UFC president Dana White appeared recently on The Herd and said he is negotiating with McGregor’s team this week, and intends to move on to Mayweather next.

“If the fight sells as well as I think it can, Floyd makes a little north of $100 [million] and Conor makes $75 [million],” said White.

McGregor disputed that estimate.

“Happy Thursday everyone,” wrote McGregor. “How’s that 75milli make your stomach feel? It’s actually 100+ milli if we go by the non conservative numbers the fight will actually do and that’s not including my endorsements and business ventures.”

McGregor also posted a video showing his progress as a boxer.

The best guess is that the pair will box in September. And it’s no surprise that the official boxing betting line favors Mayweather.
