"I might have a couple of sponsors. I'm actually sponsored by Budweiser - we've signed a deal with Budweiser - and we're on the Budweiser Stage [in Toronto]. I'm very happy with that. "We've got a couple of things in the works... Maybe Nike. "Reebok; I was with Reebok previously. The deal has expired and we're currently in negotiations but we are entering offers from multiple people. I'm just a free agent but, look, at the end of the day I'm in such a strong position here. I can chill and we'll see what happens closer [to the fight]."McGregor has been a Reebok athlete since July 2015 - not long after the sporting apparel company signed a $70m, six-year deal with the UFC - but the Mayweather bout falls outside of their purview. There has been talk - in UFC circles - that Reebok will not renew their contract when it expires but they may well be willing to stump up for this once-off event. As a free agent, McGregor is not beholden to Reebok so a lot may depend on the relationship has had had with the company over the past two years. A conservative estimate would be McGregor would receive over $1m to have his training, weigh-in, boxing shorts and boots sponsored for fight week. In reality, and given the excessive levels of hype and press coverage Mayweather-McGregor is getting, it could well pass $2m. Consider that Hublot paid Mayweather $1m to sponsor him ahead of that Pacquaio fight. As Audie Attar, McGregor's agent, said back in May, "If he signs with Nike, he can wear Nike for this fight." We've come a long way, baby.
