Dana White gives Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather $25M reasons to fight

UFC President Dana White has come out publicly now and pledged $25 million to both lightweight champion Conor McGregor and retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, as well as a possible cut of the pay-per-view (PPV) revenue for a boxing match. “There’s a real offer to Floyd,” The move is a complete about-face on the part of White, who has consistently shot down Mayweather’s claim that he’d tried to make the fight with McGregor. “Conor McGregor is his money fight,” White said. According to White, any pay-per-view with a boxing match between the two would be bolstered by a UFC title bout and a stacked undercard so fans who tuned in would be satisfied.
