    I heard he was saying he'd fight Pac if he can't get Floyd. Dude is desperate.

    Yeah...but from what I hear Dana White gets 80% of his purse.

    That was as bad as King. Why has Dana got to get anything?

    I thought Dana was just a figurehead these days. Didn't those other guys buy the UFC?

    It's rumoured that the UFC will take between 50% and 80% of McGregor's purse.

    Negotiations for a boxing rules fight between Floyd Mayweather and UFC star Conor McGregor have reached "a standstill," according to Showtime Sports vice-president Stephen Espinoza.

    Former five-weight world champion Mayweather wanted the fight in June but it is yet to advance past the discussions stage and Espinoza believes it could be a case of now or never.

    "It's largely at a standstill," he told Yahoo Sports’ Chris Mannix Boxing podcast.

    "There hasn't been a ton of progress and I think if they don't move relatively quickly, people may move on. People may tire of it."

    Espinoza said the deal could be time sensitive due to Mayweather's "ring rust" and his age.

    Mayweather, 40, has not boxed since a September 2015 decision victory over Andre Berto. McGregor, 12 years Floyd's junior, competed three times last year and is in peak-form as a mixed martial artist.

    "It is something that needs to happen this year or it probably won't happen," Espinoza said. "Floyd [has been out of action for] 18 months [and it'll be] two solid years come September since he's fought. He's still in great shape, but at a certain point, he's not gonna do it after a while."

    Espinoza added that if the super-fight were booked then the UFC may fear losing McGregor to retirement, regardless of whether the Irish icon won or lost.

    "I think part of the fear on the UFC's side is that they'll never see Conor again. If he makes 50, 60 or 70 [million dollars] and then he retires in Ireland… so much for their megastar."

    Vasyl Lomachenko is atop many pound-for-pound lists in boxing. The Ukranian is a world champion at super featherweight, which is 130 pounds in boxing. A multiple-time Olympic gold medalist in boxing, he recently called out Irish superstar Conor McGregor. Not for a boxing match, which has been McGregor's focus of late. Instead, Lomachenko mentioned a background in wrestling, judo, and the Russian grappling art of sambo, and asked Conor McGregor if he should try his luck in the UFC.

    With McGregor currently the biggest active draw in combat sports, it makes sense for Lomachenko to call him out. Unlike Mayweather, however- currently the Irishman’s target- Lomachenko is willing to step across the rulesets and give McGregor what he said he wants- a fight under mixed martial arts (MMA) rules.

    Perhaps the inspiration for the idea came from Lomachenko’s training session with former bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw. He spent four rounds sparring with Dillashaw under boxing rules. Dillashaw’s take? “He kicked my [expletive].”

    Boxing stars have made crossovers into MMA before. Holly Holm was the most spectacular of them all, knocking out Ronda Rousey to win a world title. McGregor recently made an Instagram post that stated boxers would get 'dismantled and killed' in a real fight. It appears Lomachenko is willing to take Conor up on that assertion.

    The first thing you have to do Primo is admit that Floyd is coming back.

    Only from there can you start your recovery.

    You know it will happen. You are the only one in the whole world still in denial.

    I heard the WBA won't sanction a Floyd/ McGregor fight with Gilberto Jesus Mendoza saying "If it happens, shouldn’t be more than an exhibition.”
