Comments Thread For: UFC's White: I Reached Deal With McGregor - For Mayweather

[tenPt]

People still care?

[Kcvtr81]

The fights made this is all hype and promotion

[Ham Porter]

More fake news. This farce isn't, wasn't and never will happen. Stop propagating this junk like some ****ty, second rate tabloid site.

[travestyny]

Still don't think this fight ever happens. Nor should it. Blah.

I hope this foul does not occur but in my mind also is the 700k McGregor owes and NVSAC when he was fined for that outburst well over a year ago ...

[Scary]

I want to see this ****, badly!

[Eff Pandas]

I wonder if this links up Dana White & Al Haymon for the first time? Anyone recall a time when Dana mentioned Haymon or meeting him?

Wonder what the PPV cut & guaranteed amounts for 19M boxing PPV's vs 5M MMA PPV's in the boxing ring works itself out to. Love to be a fly on the wall in that room.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Now Mayweather will somehow kill the fight with his demands.

For some reason I think Dana and Mcgregor will be more fair than Mayweather but idk

Then you don't understand business.

Fight has to be promoted by Mayweather
A-side money split goes to Mayweather
Mayweather announced second
Mayweather picks the ref
Mayweather picks the gloves
Mayweather picks the venue (MGM Grand)
Mayweather picks the judges
Mayweather gets the larger PPV take

If Dana asks for anything contradictory to the above, they don't understand what "B Side" means. All they got to do is agree to whatever Floyd asks for. It'd still be WAY more than Conor would make otherwise on a single fight and that's exactly how they did James Toney.

I wonder if this links up Dana White & Al Haymon for the first time? Anyone recall a time when Dana mentioned Haymon or meeting him?

No direct mention, but Dana White preceded Haymon by quite a few years. The only overlap they might have had was over venue and fight dates.

This is like Trump running for president, now it's like oh **** this is really happening.

[Johnny2x2x]

I wonder if White is taking 90% of Connor's purse or just 80%.

And White will still try to kill this fight.
