Comments Thread For: Mayweather-McGregor: Dana White Not Involved in Negotiations

[BOXINGADICT]

you know al haymon real intention is to ask them for 500 mill to keep pbc alive

al haymon went to wallstreet to get $800 million dummy... He has already gotten a new round of investment for pbc....

ari realized dana had no clue as to what he was doing, and sidelined him to do the deal himself. Still no word from floyd's side as to any sticking points or anything. Wonder what the hangups are..

there doesnt seem to be any hangups.... It is a good business move to stretch the negotiations along and keep getting publicity... They are hoping for a early fall date so they have plenty of time to sign a deal.... No hurry

[BOXINGADICT]

its still impossible to say. We have no idea what floyd is asking for and whether ufc can ever get conor on board with any final deal. No doubt floyd is asking for the lion's share of profit split and a higher purse, who knows if that's ok with mcgregor and the ufc..

this fight will be a split revenue fight... Im guessing floyd will get 60% if not more and conor will get 40%....

I am hoping, praying this fight does NOT happen, please for all that is good in the world, or bad lol.

i called this multiple times. Ari is the boss of the ufc. Dana is just a figure head/employee now.

No way wme-img would let this fight get away. Too much $$$

dana white runs his mouth on tv too much... Al haymon who handles all of floyds contracts is the total opposite.... He never talks.... Haymon probably asked wme and ari to get involved and stop letting a meathead employee running around making delusional statements...

[BOXINGADICT]

maybe. It all depends on the terms. We don't even know if floyd seriously wants this fight on fair terms or is just going to go for the jugular in negotiations..

70/30% split for floyd is fair but im guessing ufc is trying to get their cut of the pie to 40% like for manny....

pbc doesn't need to be "kept alive". Lol. Like the last poster said, ari may be realizing the ufc business is overrated, maybe boxing is worth a shot. People kept saying wme-img was always going to bring the ufc some huge tv deal, maybe now the pbc can get one too,,

pbc is already working with fox/fox sports on a tv deal.... Pbc has also secured more investements from another wallstreet firm.... Al haymon is a harvard business school genius... He is always a step or two ahead....

dana white reminds me of that ****** wannabe hustle wack100 both have nothing to do with anything but they try to inject themselves for some epoints/bragging rights and maybe a quick check.

lmfao that is such a perfect comparison....

[BOXINGADICT]

they've already agreed on the money split. If ari is in the room with al, it's down to production, promotion, and analytics.

These guys aren't some basic boxing business men. Both have sold and built multi million/billion dollar businesses. They're not wasting time negotiating money. That's likely the easiest term to work out.

The trick here is how much involvement the ufc will have in promotion...that's the critical issue. Ari likely wants ufc to have a bigger role than most people would assume.

my guess is haymon/mayweather want the split to be 70/30 in floyds favor and ufc wants at least 40% like manny got....

[BOXINGADICT]

no way in hell they cut dana out of that even if they publicly state they did. I get that ari and haymon are the bosses in the equation but to say that dana is completely removed would make ari as dumb@zz businessman which we all know he isn't. Dana is not the lead on this but he's involved somewhere in that mix. Same as leonard, both are there involved.

you must be confused or just joking.... Dana is only involved in promoting ufc fights.... Haymon and ari are negotiating the main split.... Mayweather probably wants 70% of the revenue and im guessing ufc ari are demanding 40% for conor.... Dana bighead white or leonard nostrils ellerbe are not needed for such a simple problem....
