UFCs lättviktsmästare Conor McGregor har skrivit på kontraktet för att möta boxningslegenden Floyd Mayweather i en boxningsmatch, men Mayweather har ännu inte skrivit på sitt kontrakt. Enligt McGregors tränare Owen Roddy så är det bara bra för Conor, och detta hade han att säga via ”Newstalk”:
We’re training now. The longer it takes Mayweather to sign, the better it is for us. We get more time to study him the longer he drags it out. We can get people in to help us if needs be. I see the negotiation period as just more time for Conor to immerse himself in boxing.
The longer he takes to sign, the better it is for us. To be honest, we’re ready to go now.
We’ve almost been preparing since Conor’s last UFC fight. As soon as the talk picked up we started getting ready for it. We all realized that there was too much money to be made on both sides for it not to happen. Both Conor and Mayweather made it clear that they wanted the fight, so it was bound to happen.
Conor would not have signed if he wasn’t happy with his deal. I doubt he will be affected in any way by what Mayweather is getting for it.
Sist vi såg McGregor slog han ut före detta titelhållaren Eddie Alvarez i andra ronden, då de möttes under UFC 205 i november förra året.
