Ryktena om en match mellan den obesegrade boxningsvärldsmästaren Floyd Mayweather Jr och UFC:s stjärna Conor fortsätter att späs på. I en intervju som gjordes med Dana White berättade UFC:s VD att han under ett restaurangbesök i New York under veckan inför UFC 205 mötte rapparen 50 Cent, som hävdade att Mayweather är seriös gällande en boxningsmatch mot irländaren.
Det här berättade White via FOX Sports:
I was at dinner in New York for [UFC 205] and we bumped into each other at dinner. We were hanging out, we were talking for a while. Then I went back down, sat down at my table, and ate. Then when we were leaving, he said to me ‘when’s your boy going to fight Floyd?’ And I said ‘My boy? Who are you talking about, Conor?’ And he said ‘yeah.’ I said ‘Floyd doesn’t wanna fight Conor.’ And he said, ‘he does, Dana. He’s dead serious about it.’ And I said, ‘I don’t know man, call Floyd and see what’s going on.’ So that’s how the whole thing got started up again.
Listen, if you look at the Mayweather vs. [Manny] Pacquiao fight, it was the biggest fight in boxing in forever. It was all anybody talked about. Look how long it took to get that done, and they’re both in the same sport. I highly doubt this fight would ever happen.
McGregor mötte senast Eddie Alvarez i New York och blev då organisationens nye lättviktsmästare och den första tt bli mästare i två viktklasser samtidigt.
