Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor: Date, Location Set Aside For 2017 Fight

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor might be one step closer towards making their super-fight a reality. While an agreement still isn’t in place, a date has reportedly been chosen for the boxing match.

According to FloCombat.com, T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas has SET aside June 10 as the date for a possible fight. Mayweather has become increasingly vocal about wanting to make the fight happen, calling out McGregor multiple times in the UK last week.

Mayweather, who has been retired since he defeated Andre Berto on Sept. 12, 2015, said that he plans to come out of retirement to face McGregor. McGregor has been asking for a fight with Mayweather since last year, but he’s yet to respond to Mayweather’s most recent comments.

“I'm coming out of retirement just to fight Conor McGregor,” Mayweather said in England, via FightHype.com.

“I don't want to hear no more excuses about the money, about the UFC,” Mayweather continued. “Sign the paper with the UFC so you can fight me in June.”

McGregor initially asked for $100 million to fight Mayweather, and the boxer has since countered with an offer of $15 million guaranteed.

Mayweather’s last 14 fights have all come in Las Vegas. McGregor defeated Nate Diaz in their rematch at UFC 202 on Aug. 20 at T-Mobile Arena. The UFC fighter has since indicated that he doesn’t want to fight in Las Vegas again, though it’s hard to believe that he would let it stand in the way of a lucrative bout with Mayweather.
