In the course of basically less than two weeks, we went from a rumored fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor never being able to happen and getting shot down by all the “experts”, to it slowly beginning to look like this could be the real deal. Of course it will take time to happen but you can definitely feel a different vibe now in regards to the fight, that includes Dana White!

Last week we shared the story of the rumor about the fight happening and that the paperwork was actually close to being done. The report at first didn’t hold much weight but it slowly gained momentum. That led White to come out publicly and say it was all rumors but most fans forgot that White had personal reasons to not want to promote anything involving McGregor because the two are having issues of their own currently.
Then we had McGregor’s trainer put something subtle out there in the universe and then finally we had Floyd himself say “it might not just be a rumor“, which was followed by McGregor posting a fake fight poster featuring himself & Floyd on Instagram.
Dana White now sounds totally different about the fight happening. He still thinks it’s a long shot but for different reasons that you might expect. He no longer things the idea itself is so far fetched and as you will hear him say, he tells Floyd to call him if this is serious.
