Pugmire tweets that, neither Mayweather or McGregor have been officially licensed to fight in the state of Nevada. Also, Boxingnewsonline.net have spoken to Nevada State Athletic Commission Executive Director Bob Bennett and he confirms the news.
“We have not received all the documents for McGregor, Mayweather has not applied for his license, thus at this time there is no request for the fight,” told Bennett.
According to Pugmire’s sources, the fight will come to fruition but maybe just not in August.
Nevada source: "Is anything done? No. Do I believe the (@FloydMayweather @TheNotoriousMMA)fight will probably come to fruition? Yes."
