LAS VEGAS -- Conor McGregor will have to wait a bit longer to challenger Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The start of the fight has been delayed while Showtime PPV consults with various TV systems around the country and tries to resolve some transmission issues.
That's according to a Showtime spokesman, who said the fight would be delayed "a little bit."
There have been reports on social media of problems with the transmission of the telecast. Fans complained UFC's Fight Pass, which was streaming the fight, has locked up or is impossible to get into.
Mayweather's fight with Manny Pacquiao in 2015 was also delayed because of heavy demand on cable and satellite systems. (AP)
