Mayweather Promotions has put a hold on the MGM for August 26th.
Mayweather has secretly started sparring again in preparation for the fight against McGregor. McGregor has been in training for months.
No matter what dana white has said publicly, higher ups in the UFC have been working with Al Haymon and Mayweather to get the deal done.
They wanted to do the fight in september but Canelo-GGG ha#url# already took up that date. They are doing it earlier to make sure they get as many PPV possible.
It is close to being announced, so stay tuned.
