After months of rumors it appears that the Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather fight is finally a go. Mayweather went on Intagram this afternoon to confirm the fight.

Terms of the deal were not available, but it will either be at the MGM Grand Garden or T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The Nevada Athletic Commission on Wednesday approved the request from Mayweather Promotions to put on a boxing card on Aug. 26 at the MGM Grand. The venue could change, however, to T-Mobile.
The bout will be distributed via Showtime pay-per-view. It will be an entirely boxing card. Mayweather Promotions will be the lead promoter.

Conor of course poked fun of Mayweather in his announcement tweet by posing a photo of Floyd’s uncle.
