Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor Fight Deadline Is Sunday, Says Dana White

UFC President Dana White isn't going to let a potential Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight hold up his promotion much longer.

During a Thursday appearance on the Jim Rome Show on CBS Sports (via Fox Sports' Damon Martin), White said he's placed a Sunday deadline on McGregor's side of negotiations for arranging a boxing matchup with Mayweather.

White has tried to clear many hurdles in setting up the mega-showdown between McGregor and Mayweather. He told Fight Hub TV they "lost" their September 16 date when it was announced Canelo Alvarez will take on Gennady Golovkin on that Saturday.
