Floyd Mayweather: $50 Mil Offer to McGregor ... But No Deal Yet

FLOYD MAYWEATHER $50 MIL OFFER TO MCGREGOR ... But No Deal Yet http://ll-media.tmz.com/2016/05/19/0519-floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-tmz-4.jpg Floyd Mayweather has a $50 MILLION offer out to Conor McGregor, sources tell TMZ Sports ... but it's going to take a lot more to seal the deal. We're told Floyd is proposing a New Year's Eve fight in Vegas and Conor is game. We're told Floyd's $50 million offer is far less than half the amount the fight would rake in ... and therein lies the rub. Floyd has been talking to the wrong guy, because Conor can't ink the deal. It's all about convincing Dana White, and there's just no way White would accept such a lopsided deal. Fact is ... in 3 critical Pay-Per-View markets -- Europe, Australia and Canada -- Conor is a bigger star than Floyd. Floyd's last fight produced disappointing PPV numbers, and Conor's star has never been brighter. Even his loss to Nate Diaz was epic ... the fight was great and it did not disappoint fans. Sources connected with Floyd tell us ... the champ has not approached Dana, at least not yet. Open your wallet Mayweather ... it could happen. http://www.tmz.com/2016/05/20/floyd-mayweather-conor-mcgregor-fight/

People are nuts if they think this wouldn't do huge numbers. Especially if they did multiple boxing vs MMA matchups and sold it that way. Let them all fight in a kickboxing match at a reasonable ppv price

Conor has zero chance vs floyd in a straight boxing match... At 160 with 4oz, floyd is still the favorite but it makes it alittle more interesting Lol let them fight in a kickboxing match

ur might be right but with floyd being the much superior puncher/striker i dont know if that would entirely play into the hands of conor. floyd's punches,albeit being a weakling will still sting mcgregors face. how much if floyd's reach advantage?? he has very strong african genes so his reach is probably much longer than his torso in comparrison to conor.

This fight will sell in the US. Probably not so much across europe and asia but the US money may be enough to make it a success financially. Having said that, I doubt it's happening. Both these guys are using each others name to stay relevant.

You obviously don't know how 4oz gloves work and how they would benefit Conor.. So you think Conor is better off with regular boxing gloves as opposed to 4oz?? 4oz gloves, Conor only needs one shot to end the fight, with regular gloves one shot will do nothing for him and he will actually have to outbox floyd.. Now what do you think Conor is more capable of, landing one Hail Mary with 4oz gloves or using regular boxing gloves and outboxing floyd ur might be right but with floyd being the much superior puncher/striker i dont know if that would entirely play into the hands of conor. floyd's punches,albeit being a weakling will still sting mcgregors face. how much if floyd's reach advantage?? he has very strong african genes so his reach is probably much longer than his torso in comparrison to conor.

I don't think it ever happens anyway, but i'm really sure it would do big business. The general public are stupid and the casual fanbase of MMA is huge. People can be brainwashed into buying almost anything with enough hype and promotion. There are lot's MMA fans who know nothing about combat sports who really believe McGregor can beat Floyd. Don't underestimate the stupidity of the general public. People are nuts if they think this wouldn't do huge numbers. Especially if they did multiple boxing vs MMA matchups and sold it that way.

4oz gloves gives mcgregor a chance? lol....floyd would pick him apart even worse with smaller gloves. You obviously don't know how 4oz gloves work and how they would benefit Conor..

It's not on Dana White. He's just a face. It's on the Ferita Bros. who have been looking to sell the UFC and buy an NFL team anyways. Right..... so Dana white has no say? :boxing:

A New Year's Eve fight, Connor's star has never been brighter, $50,000,000 offer. People actually believe this nonsense? His star has been brighter. He just got sparked the **** out by Diaz.

It would not, there is arguably zero hype for this trash event. The media jumps on it, but even the casual response is barely noticeable, 90% is negative compared to May Pac where 90% were happy it would be made. It is NEVER going to happen, ya'll falling for that stupid trolling to get some attention to both guys who need attention to not get depressed.

It would do huge business, ridiculous but true. It would be bigger than any fight in boxing Floyd could make. I even think it does bigger business than Floyd v Manny 2 now, after the public were disappointed with the first. The only downside is that McGregor lost his last fight and maybe took some of the shine off things. Otherwise it would be right up there with Floyd v Manny i think.

$50 million? How much do they think this debacle makes? Are people really that stupid that this fight makes like $150 million ? My god.... It would do huge business, ridiculous but true.

$50 mill huh? I would think McGregor would jump all over that. But I think this whole fiasco is bull**** and Dana White will never let it happen. It's not on Dana White. He's just a face. It's on the Ferita Bros. who have been looking to sell the UFC and buy an NFL team anyways.

This fight is seriously close to getting made... Too much money involved If they do fight, I say they allow a 160 weight limit and use 4oz gloves to give Conor some sort of chance 4oz gloves gives mcgregor a chance? lol....floyd would pick him apart even worse with smaller gloves.
