I think Dana White is gonna try and delay this fight for as long as possible. He's been talking up how difficult it is to make a deal with Mayweather, but in reality Floyd vs Manny was hard to make, everything else has been quite smooth as far his negotiations have gone.
I think he's reached a deal with Macgregor so he could put the focus on Mayweather for not agreeing to the fight. But the UFC has reasons for not wanting the fight to happen right away:
1) If Macgregor makes a lot money he might retire from MMA or ask for a bigger paycheck to fight again. By delaying the Floyd fight they can probably get more UFC fights out of him and maybe make some new stars if he gets beaten again.
2) The older Floyd gets, the more he'll have to pace himself in the fight. This won't decide the outcome: Floyd will still win for sure. But it might mean that Floyd can't put enough sustained pressure on Macgregor to KO him. Floyd's hands are too brittle so he probably won't KO Macgregor with one punch, so accumulation of blows is the most likely way to stop him. The longer the fight gets delayed, the less chance of Mayweather winning by stoppage which will help protect the UFC brand.
