the duel between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather is getting closer and closer to happening. The two athletes have already agreed on the financial part of the agreement, stipulating what each one will receive and how pay-per-view sales will be divided. The information comes from the Irish newspaper “The Irish Sun”, which cites a source close to the UFC champion. The fight, which will take place under boxing rules, can be announced within two weeks, but nothing has been signed yet, mainly due to a third party involved in the deal, which must be Ultimate, as the event has the right to promote the fights in “Notorious”.

Rumors that the fight was about to be agreed increased last Monday night (13), when McGregor canceled his participation in an event in Ireland to travel to Las Vegas on an emergency basis. Information about the UFC lightweight champion's trip was given by the English newspaper “Daily Mirror”.

Conor himself had already said in a question and answer session recently that he would travel to the United States to have a face-to-face meeting with Floyd Mayweather and his team. The former American boxer confessed to the website of the North American broadcaster ESPN, this Tuesday (14), that the fight with McGregor is in fact “very close” to being closed, but did not give further details of the negotiation.
