New York, August 11: Will Donald Trump be in the audience for Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor's anticipated fight?

That's up to the president, according to Mayweather's business advisor, Leonard Ellerbe.

"I haven't personally invited the president, but I am told an invitation is out there," Ellerbe said, via USA Today. "Whether he comes or not we are going to have a great event."

Trump has a close relationship with UFC president Dana White, and he and wife Melania were present when Mayweather defeated Manny Pacquiao in 2015.

White even spoke at the Republican National Convention last year during Trump's campaign run."Every A-lister wants to be involved in this fight," Ellerbe said. "There is tremendous interest from all kind of people."

Some of these reported A-listers are expected to attend the August 26 bout are Matt Damon, Angelina Jolie, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.
