Comments Thread For: UFC's White Sets Deadline on Mayweather vs. McGregor Fight

[bronx7]

So white will tell Conor the UFC will take half of his $ from the mayweather fight. Why because the UFC brand will take a hit because it's top star is going to get slapped silly they are luck Floyd has bad hands and doesn't hit hard. A GGG would hospitalize him sadly

[bronx7]

But half of 50 mil is 25 8 times Conor's biggest payday of 3 mil.

Sounds like he's lining things up to fail. He hasn't even got Conor locked into an agreement yet & is "going to give it til Sunday" & its Thursday now & there is the biggest UFC of the year on Saturday lol. Doesn't seem reasonable to expect an agreement for something he's been talking to Conor about for a month or two or whatever already from his version of events.

Sounds like he's throwing his **** on the table with Conor right now after his whole clusterf#ck of a thing with the Bisping vs GSP fight that he had to cancel the other day. I wouldn't be surprised if he's forced to prolong that with Conor due to the unreasonable nature of the timeline considering current events + with Conor's ability to create another UFC sh^t storm like Dana just got out of (maybe anyway lol) by testing the legality of his contract which many sports lawyers have hinted at being unlawful to outright claiming they are slave contracts without an end date.

... apparently, McGregor is fighting for his money...

I'm glad he's moving on if they can't reach an agreement, because I think everyone's getting tired of hearing the talk with no action. But I also believe they're going to come in with way too low of an offering to Mayweather and will try to put it off on him when the fight is scrapped, even though he's the A side. Nobody wants to see it with anyone else. Mayweather is undefeated, 40 and retired. That's the allure.

It's interesting seeing this all play out between different fan bases. Boxing fans hate this and think it's a disgrace. They'll rip on Dana White and praise Floyd for being his own Boss. MMA fans seem to hate this too because they think McGregor needs to be defending his UFC belt or be stripped. They don't seem to care that much about a Mayweather boxing match. But then I go to work and talk to casual fans who aren't hardcore in to boxing or MMA and they're all over this. They all want to see the fight happen and think it's great.

Fascinating

We should be thankful that Dana is actually trying to get the fight made.

[GMAN SUPREME]

Money talks - White is a sideshow in this deal, and people are fools if they think he controls where this is going.

A habitual liar who overplays his influence is good for comedy and not much else.

Move along, Dana.

this joke of a fight does not happen unless dana lets it happen so yeah

[*TonyMontana*]

He should ask Amir Khan how giving Floyd a deadline went

[Nightfall]

whether it happens or not. they won't get my money
