According to ESPN, Floyd Mayweather will request August 26th as the date for his fight with UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. Mayweather’s Mayweather Promotions was originally going to request the date for an unspecified event, but the request was pulled from the NSAC agenda. Both sides would like to run the larger T-Mobile Arena as opposed to the smaller MGM Grand. At this time, there are no events scheduled for that day at the T-Mobile Arena. The fight has been in the works for some time now, and after a lot of public back and forth, actually appears that it will happen.
