“Nate’s a b*tch. Nate’s a f*cking b*tch, and let me tell you why”, McGregor said to a sold-out crowd on Saturday (h/t Shaun Al-Shatti of MMA Fighting). But we’ll see. The conversation’s ongoing. Look, there’s a lot of steps to get through to get the fight going, but it’s the fight to make. That was the last thing between them.

It came when he watched Conor walk down the ramp during one of his fights under the Cage Warriors promotion, which he thinks turned his young boy into a man.
McGregor sounded fairly certain that he wants the fight to happen at some time fairly soon. The match would definitely be a big one for UFC.
Mayweather also talked about the fight. “The same way him and Manny (Pacquiao) figured it out”, he said. Mayweather already beat both of them. The thing will make mad money and that’s the name of this game. I know Floyd likes to say Dana is my boss and he decides. “That fight has been in the works for a while now”, McGregor said. Instead, Mayweather played it safe for 12 rounds, sometimes appearing to take rounds off, and doing just enough to win.

“Me and Floyd have got to get together and figure this out and come up with a number”. It’s not sport. It’s entertainment.
Mayweather stated that the fight would take place at 147 or 150 pounds, “The fans want this fight. So as long he’s still around and still fighting, then he will help the sport grow even more”. The fans have been asking for this fight.
The fans might end up feeling ripped off after seeing Mayweather toy with McGregor.
“I’m happy there was an offer made”, McGregor said. Enter the talk of a boxing match with Floyd Mayweather, and the rift with the UFC is apparent. With a very big loan to pay back, they’ll need every ounce of star power to get the ball rolling in 2017. That’s the whole problem.
Is Conor McGregor going to show up at WrestleMania 33? Apart from that, it doesn’t seem worth it.
British bantamweight Brad Pickett will walk away from UFC with “bittersweet” emotions but full of belief that Conor McGregor will lift mixed martial arts to new heights.
McGregor is the UFC’s top pay-per-view draw.
Mayweather responded, “Can we make the fight happen?”
Said Tony: “I didn’t think this was something he could do as a career”.
The hype is not abating, however much of a mismatch the fight could potentially be.
