Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Reach Agreement for Blockbuster Billion $ Las Vegas Mega Fight

The Sun exclusively revealed last year that McGregor and Mayweather were in talks over a sensational boxing match.

And we can now reveal that the MMA sensation pulled out of a scheduled meet-and-greet event in Dublin this week to go to the States to make an anti-bullying video for schoolchildren.

McGregor will shoot the video as part of a deal struck with the Nevada Sport Commission after he was deemed to have thrown a bottle of water at Nate Diaz.

He will also use the opportunity to finalise details with his representatives in Las Vegas as the blockbuster Mayweather fight inches closer.

7 In a previous live interview event in Manchester, the Notorious revealed that he would be jetting out to Vegas to settle his score with the Nevada Sport Commission.

He said: “There’s a lot of business to do out in Las Vegas. They tried to fine me $150,000 for throwing a bottle of water. It was a can but whatever. We’ll call it a bottle of water and say no more about it…

“Ah no look I’m gonna f*** this whole sh*t up again. I love the Vegas commission. We’ve come to an understanding. I’m gonna fly out there and fix it. I’m gonna get my Las Vegas boxing commission and then we’ll see where the f*** Floyd’s at?!”

The undisputed UFC lightweight champion was due to appear at the €100-a-head bash on Friday night, but withdrew today due to “an unavoidable schedule change”.

Respresentatives for the Notorious could not be reached for comment when contacted by the Irish Sun today.

McGregor has made no secret of his desire to take on Mayweather - whose win record stands at 49/49 - and has vowed to hand Floyd his first ever KO.

He recently boasted: “That fight is more than just being explored. That fight has been in the works a while now.

“Look, there’s a lot of steps to get through to get the fight going, but it’s the fight to make.

“It’s the fight the people want. It’s the fight I want. I know I’m confident going in there.

“I’ve got the reach. I’ve got youth. I’ve got the confidence. I’ve got the unpredictable style. You can’t prepare for a style like me. A guy said to me, why conquer one world when you can conquer two? So I’m going to go conquer two worlds.”

h Floyd Mayweather tells Conor McGregor he wants to fight in huge superstar match-up But speaking just last week, UFC boss Dana White insisted any contest involving under contract Conor was “not possible” and promised it would “never happen”.

Dana said: “It will never happen; that’s not even possible. He’s under contract with us. You have a contract for a reason.

“Let me tell you what, there are a lot of contracts out there, no matter what business you are in - UFC or whatever - and it’s pretty tough to get out of a contract.

h Ten things you didn't know about UFC's infamous Irish superstar Conor 'The Notorious' McGregor “And if that’s what Conor wants to do (fight Mayweather), he’s got four fights left. He’s got four fights left with the UFC. Fight your four fights and, you know, go out and do what you want to do.”

Meanwhile, McGregor's coach has backed everything up by saying an announcement is 'imminent'.

John Kavanagh tweeted: "Gunni and Queally get a fight. Orly wakes me the right way. Other big announcements imminent. Best. Valentines. Ever."

I can’t find any financial details.

I don’t think a deal is done or even imminent, but I’d like to see this fight happen.

It can’t go worse than Mayweather-Pacman.

SOMEBODY is going to be embarrassed.
.....................
Yes. Everyone who pays to watch.

SOMEBODY is going to be embarrassed. I’m not sure which

I'm pretty sure it'll be whoever pays to watch this. If this is an MMA fight, Floyd goes down - but there's no way he'll agree to this. It's probably boxing, and in that setting McGregor has no chance. The idea of a guy who isn't a highly ranked pro boxer getting through Mayweather's defense is laughable, even at his age, and I'd have to see McGregor take a hard shot from a pro boxer to believe he could stand up through it. Mayweather will knock out McGregor by the fourth round at the latest.

I don’t so much mind the fight IF it’s simply Connor’s wish to see if He’s good enough to go toe to toe with a pro boxer- but I just get the feeling it’s a gimmick to hype the UFC more- I know we’ve had UFC against boxers in the past- but I wasn’t crazy about those matches either- I think making the transition from UFC to boxing would be easier than from boxing to UFC- but still- I suppose it will be interesting, but I expect it will be over wuickly- Mayweather the victor-
