Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor Fight Venue Reportedly Las Vegas T-Mobile Arena

UFC President Dana White confirmed to TMZ Sports Wednesday that Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor will fight inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

The Los Angeles Times' Lance Pugmire had previously reported the Nevada Athletic Commission granted a request from Mayweather Promotions to schedule the fight for Aug. 26 at MGM Grand.

Pugmire explained the trade-offs with each venue. The MGM Grand would've afforded Mayweather's manager, Al Haymon, more control over ticket prices for prospective brokers, while T-Mobile Arena seats roughly 4,000 more, thus allowing for more overall revenue.

Whereas Mayweather vs. McGregor was still a hypothetical before Wednesday, the two confirmed the event in respective Instagram posts:

For Mayweather, the McGregor fight will be his first outside MGM Grand Garden Arena since 2006. The arena has become a second home for the 40-year-old.

McGregor, meanwhile, will be more familiar with T-Mobile Arena after beating Nate Diaz there at UFC 202 in August 2016.

TMZ Sports reported specifics about ticket prices for Mayweather vs. McGregor will be announced at a later date.
