Floyd Mayweather: ‘I think the fight will happen’ with Conor McGregor

Conor McGregor has taken one more step towards his fight with Floyd Mayweather becoming reality.

McGregor has officially applied for his boxing license in the state of Nevada as confirmed by his representatives to FOX Sports on Friday following multiple reports this week.

McGregor still needs to fill out a few more forms before the application will be decided on, but Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett has stated in the past that he wouldn’t see any obstacles in the UFC lightweight champion being approved for his boxing license.

One major issue that was cleared up more recently was McGregor’s fine stemming from the UFC 202 press conference last August where he launched bottles and cans at opponent Nate Diaz inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
