UFC superstar Conor McGregor is now officially eligible to apply for a boxing licence from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), paving the way for a potential fight with Floyd Mayweather.
During a press conference for his rematch with Nate Diaz at UFC 202 last year, both fighters were involved in melee and threw bottles of water and cans at each other.
Initially the NSAC handed down a fine of $75,000 to the Irishman, alongside 50 hours of community service. He requested a reduction to the punishment, which was approved by the Commission and lowered to a $25,000 fine and 25 hours of community service.
“We’ve already met and had a very productive and cordial meeting. I really haven’t spoken to him about his intentions, we wanted to clear up the pending litigation with the fine and his attorney requested a re-hearing,” NSAC chief Bob Bennett told Boxing News.
“Prior to that, we had a very productive meeting with Conor, his attorney Jennifer Goldstein, and his manager and like I said, it was a very cordial, productive and professional meeting. It was a win-win, they got to articulate their interests and concerns and we were able to do the same.”
