The much-hyped boxing superfight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor now has a potential date and venue.
On Wednesday, the Nevada Athletic Commission approved Mayweather Promotions request to hold a boxing event on Aug. 26 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. While that does not guarantee that Mayweather and McGregor will fight then, it was previously reported that Mayweather Promotions was hoping to secure the date with that very bout in mind.
ESPN.com later reported that Mayweather Promotions planned to retract that request, but NAC executive director Bob Bennett confirmed that the group asked to be placed back on the agenda.
