Report: Turns down movie offer for Alvarez MSG fight
According to TalkMMA, McGregor is in negotiations to fight Alvarez at Madison Square Garden in November at UFC 205. TalkMMA says the main issue is that McGregor does not want to give up his title. He also reports that McGregor has already given up a movie role to commit to the fight.
Per my source: The biggest negotiation point for McGregor/Alvarez is McGregor wanting to hold onto his FW title. Defend it early next year.

Also, to my understanding McGregor turned down a movie role to fight Alvarez at MSG
