Another day, another Floyd Mayweather & Conor McGregor rumor, although this news seems to be more than just a rumor. TMZ is reporting that Floyd has made an offer to McGregor of $50 million to fight on New Years Eve. On the surface that sounds like a huge payday for McGregor because he has never seen that type of money for one fight but there is likely no way that Dana White would sign off on that deal.

Ok, Ok, we get it. Nobody believes that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor will ever actually fight besides myself and maybe a handful of people but as the fighters themselves talk about it, we have to as well.

I said it before and I will say it again. Either Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are in the midst of the biggest troll job ever with sports fans or the idea of this fight is getting serious. The back and forth comments from both fighters seem to be flying faster than Floyd’s punches at this stage but there is still so much skepticism about it actually going down that it’s hard to take serious.

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!
