Although numerous sources have stated that a boxing match between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr. is being targeted for a slot in September, Showtime Sports executive Stephen Espinoza claims negotiations have largely come to a standstill.
Espinoza spoke to Chris Mannix in a recent podcast and said he isn't sure if the UFC really want their star fighter to take on one of boxing's greatest.
“The biggest battle in Mayweather-Pacquiao was both guys really thinking that the other wanted to do it,” Espinoza said, per MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew.
