For months, fans have been hearing the rumours of a super-fight between Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather.
Up to this point, though, empty rumours and trash talk were the only things fans were able to read or hear about, and it's been kind of frustrating.
Wednesday, though, fans anxiously waiting for the fight to be made official finally got some good news.

As the Rock would say, "Finally, the fight has been made official," or at least it has reportedly been made official and at this point, that's good enough for us.
Just before Yahoo Sports reported that the fight had been finalized, Adam Hill tweeted something very similar, so it's hard to believe an official official announcement from Floyd and Conor won't be coming very soon.

Regardless, fans are all aboard the hype train at this point and they're extremely excited that the fight has finally been finalized (we hope).

So, who's booking August 26th off?Seminal moment for Conor. He willed this into existence. Little over 4 yrs ago he didn't have a pot to piss in & had not debuted in UFC yet.

McGregor's boxing skills are being underestimated. He's a lefty with a big right: ambidextrous thunder at lightning speed. Run, Floyd run.
