Dana White: Mayweather Can Call Me If He Wants To Fight McGregor
Despite receiving a whirlwind of media attention, a potential boxing fight between retired pound-for-pound king Floyd “Money” Mayweather and reigning UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor is likely a distant hypothetical dream for fight fans.
With that being said, the two stars have done quite a good job at making the fight appear as a reality.
McGregor recently posted a picture to his official twitter account promoting the potential showdown, and Mayweather himself even said that he started the rumors, and that you just never know what could happen in combat sports.
Despite both men adding to the madness, the situation just doesn’t appear as if it will actually come to fruition. That is unless it goes through the UFC.
Recently speaking on the topic, UFC President Dana White said that if “Money” actually wanted to fight the “Notorious” one, he would have to give him a call:
“”Conor McGregor is under contract with the UFC,” White said Wednesday on “The Dan Patrick Show.” “Listen, if Floyd wants to fight Conor, call me Floyd.””
Mayweather has been retired ever since he took home a one-sided decision over Andre Berto last September, improving his undefeated record to 49-0. Despite originally making it sound as if he was done for good, a possible return for “Money” has seemed very likely as of late.
McGregor, on the other hand, hasn’t competed since last March when he suffered his first UFC loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 196. He was then set to rematch Diaz at July 9’s UFC 200, but he was essentially pulled from the card after he didn’t appear in Las Vegas for his scheduled media requirements.
What do you make of the rumors surrounding Mayweather and McGregor?
