News Conference For Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather Set For London

The Sun reports that the first news conference to promote Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather has been set for Wembley Stadium in London. A date hasn’t been announced but it’s expected to be apart of a world tour for the two. MMAJunkie adds that a UFC official said venues are being considered and Wembley wasn’t confirmed.

The fight itself goes down on August 26 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It will air on PPV for a price expected to be in the triple digits.

Mayweather is coming out of retirement with a 49-0 boxing record. McGregor, meanwhile, is the current UFC lightweight champion with an overall record of 21-3 (9-1 in UFC). He was previously the featherweight champion after December 2015 but had it stripped when he won the lightweight in November 2016. He will defend it after this fight. Mayweather is expected to make at least $100 million, while McGregor will make less (but still more than his latest UFC title fight).
