Floyd Mayweather Gives McGregor Ultimatum for Megafight
Floyd Mayweather says he's not the reason for the hold-up on a superfight with Conor McGregor -- and is pointing the finger at the UFC.
"Listen, Conor McGregor, if you really want to get this fight done ... take care of your business with the UFC and then have your people get in touch with my people," Mayweather wrote.
For the record, Dana White has already offered terms -- $25 mil per fight plus a Pay-Per-View split. Floyd laughed it off and never countered.
As for Conor, he's in Vegas -- which he now calls "My City" -- despite the fact Floyd lives there.
The drama continues ...

Sofia Vergara Nick Loeb Has No Right to Embryos This War Needs to Stop
Sofia Vergara's firing back at her ex, Nick Loeb, for putting her through the legal ringer for more than 2 years over their embryos ... hoping to put an end to the ordeal once and for all.
Sofia's asking the court to officially block Nick from trying to take control of their embryos with the intention of bringing them to term without her consent ... according to legal docs she just filed.
She says Loeb voluntarily dismissed his case against her in December -- after waging legal war with her since 2014 -- to leave the door open to refile his case again. She insists it would just be a waste of time.
According to the docs ... Nick signed a contract about their frozen embryos originally in which his rights were clear -- he CANNOT bring the embryos to term without MUTUAL agreement.
In addition to an order, Sofia wants some money for her troubles.

Dana White On Conor vs. Floyd: 'There Is No Deal'
Dana White tells TMZ Sports plain and simple ... when it comes to the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight, "There is no deal."
'America's Got Talent' 'AGT' Still Wants Nick But if He Wants Out He Can Go
"America's Got Talent" execs desperately want to keep Nick Cannon ... but if he really wants to walk, they likely won't hold him to his contract.
Production sources with knowledge of the situation tell us the show fires up next month, but honchos aren't scouting for new hosts ... at least not yet. They're hoping Nick has a change of heart.
If Nick holds firm, NBC likely won't sue him for breach of contract.
Our sources say Nick has been great to work with on 'AGT,' and the crew has become a family. There's reason to believe he's going through something emotional in his personal life and that may well be factoring into his decision.

Charles Oakley is NO LONGER persona non grata at Madison Square Garden following a peace summit with Knicks owner, James Dolan, on Monday.

A PR war ensued and things seemed to be spiraling out of control until Oakley agreed to meet with Dolan in a session moderated by Michael Jordan.
Things seemed to go well because Oakley is welcome back. We're guessing the two sides aren't exactly planning on getting a beer together any time soon, but it's a start.

Waka Flocka is ready to take matters into his own hands if the St. Louis radio personality who called him a "greasy n****r" on the air doesn't lose his job.
