White: Eventually I'm going to stop pursuing McGregor-Mayweather

The Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather superfight appears to be inching toward becoming a reality, but UFC president Dana White isn't going to wait around forever.

White said Tuesday on "The Herd" that he will "walk away" from negotiations if the logistical issues of the fight become too much.

"I'm not hinting that it's getting close at all. I knew that this thing was going to be a nightmare to get done if it can even be done. We'll find out," White said, according to FOX Sports' Damon Martin. "Obviously, both guys want to fight each other but what's the deal? Can the deal be done? That's the question.

"It's not just Mayweather. It's both sides of this thing are going to be hard to get done. Absolutely, there's going to be a point where I'm done. This isn't what I do, this isn't my business and I'm definitely going to walk away."

White revealed last week that the Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin bout on Sept. 16 took the planned date of McGregor-Mayweather, and the UFC president said they were scooped because he couldn't get the deal done fast enough.

"The reason they got my date is because I couldn't get my deal done on time so they got the date," White said. "Listen, life moves on, we don't wait for anybody. The fights are going to keep rolling. I didn't get the deal done fast enough so I lose the date. That's how it works."
