Conor McGregor Vs Floyd Mayweather - Fight Promo

For the last year, the MMA world has been dominated by Conor McGregor’s quest to transcend MMA and fight Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match. The idea caught fire with mainstream sports fans and the groundswell of support for the endeavor eventually reached such heights that now UFC President Dana White has committed himself to doing what he can to make the fight happen. What was once scoffed at as mere promotional bluster suddenly seemed like it was an impending reality.

But no so fast because there’s a whole bunch of rain for that parade everyone is having.

Stephen Espinoza, Executive Vice President of Showtime Sports, recently spoke with Chris Mannix about the negotiations for the fight and how things are looking on that front and the Showtime executive wasn’t all that optimistic.

“The biggest battle in Mayweather-Pacquiao was both guys really thinking that the other wanted to do it,” said Espinoza. “That part has happened [with McGregor and Mayweather], so I think the real question - and it’s sort of a black box right now - is where’s the UFC really, on this? Do they, in fact, want it? Dana - speaking on behalf of, I assume, the UFC - is making noises that he’s more open to it but talk is talk. I haven’t seen a lot of progress either internally in the deal between the two of them or externally, the deal between that side and this side.

“It’s largely at a standstill. There hasn’t been a ton of progress and I think if they don’t move relatively quickly, people may move on. People may tire of it. But it really is something that needs to happen this year or it probably won’t happen. Floyd’s on 18 months, two solid years come September since he’s fought. He’s still in great shape, but at a certain point, he’s not gonna do it after a while.”
