McGREGOR SAYS HE HAS DEAL TO FIGHT FLOYD MAYWEATHER

In announcing he was coming out of retirement in March, Floyd Mayweather said that all UFC champ Conor McGregor had to do was “sign the paperwork” for their boxing match. McGregor, pictured, has signed the paperwork. “The first, and most important part of this historic contract has now officially been signed off on,” the UFC lightweight champion told TheMacLife. com on Thursday. MMA president Dana White said he anticipated Mayweather would earn $100 million from the bout — he has previously said that he wouldn’t come out of retirement for anything less — and McGregor, $75 million, though the boxer could very well want more. The boxing match between Mayweather and McGregor has been the talk of the fight game for nearly two years.
