“Only McGregor is my goal. If the fight with him will not take place, I will retire. Currently not signed any papers. But I hope that the fight will take place in June. I want to give people sight, the world of MMA vs Boxing world.

This fight can be organized in Moscow. I would choose Moscow, if you asked me now,” said Mayweather in comments to the Russian press.

The main obstacle on the way to fight Mayweather – McGregor was considered the UFC’s reluctance to let the Irish fighter, but this issue has been resolved. The head of the organization will not hinder the fight.

“I’m not going to keep Conor from such money he can earn. He now has a lot of opportunities,” said white.
