(UDHAYAM, COLOMBO) – Dana White has confirmed the UFC have agreed to terms with Conor McGregor to fight Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match.
The UFC have to okay McGregor to fight outside their MMA promotion and White revealed that he was ready to move forward into talks with Mayweather.
White will be involved in all talks over a prospective super-fight and confirmed after UFC 211 that the deal with McGregor was done.
‘We’re right there,’ White said on Saturday night.
‘I’m expecting an executed agreement tomorrow.
‘And then I’ll start working with Team Mayweather next week.’
However, White rejected the idea the agreement with McGregor meant the fight was close to being finalised as he has not even begun negotiating with Mayweather.
The Mayweather team will want the biggest cut of the bout and are notoriously difficult to strike terms with.
And White warned fight fans he will not spend endless hours negotiating with Mayweather.
‘We’re just getting this deal done with Conor,’ he continued.
‘What do you think the Mayweather side is going to be like?
‘And how much time do you think I’m going to spend on this?
