“I think we get the McGregor side in the next couple of days,” White said (transcribed by Shaun Al-Shatti of MMA Fighting). “And then I go lock myself in a room for a couple days with Team Mayweather and see what we can come out with.”

“It depends on how much the fight sells,” White said. “And if the fight sells as well as I think it can, Floyd makes a little north of $100 (million) and Conor makes $75 (million).”

“He (Mayweather) feels like he’s the A-side and he should get more of it. We haven’t really gotten into that negotiation yet. I wanted to get McGregor locked in first, because McGregor is under contract with me. And at the end of the day, does this fight make a ton of sense for me? It really doesn’t. But Conor wants this thing really bad and I’ve said it many times, the kid’s stepped up and saved some big fights for me, man, so I’m in. I’ll figure it out.

“Obviously, in boxing, you start to negotiate things like the gloves and the officials and the judges,” White added, “and how big the ring is — a lot of different things you can negotiate as far as the fight goes. But again, I haven’t gotten into a room with Team Mayweather yet, and who knows. The Conor side, we’re good on the Conor side. I need to figure out the Mayweather side, and maybe it can’t be (figured out). Maybe the other side can’t be done, but we’ll see. I promised Conor I’d do everything I could to make this thing happen, so that’s what I’m going to do.”


“This is isn’t going to be UFC,” White added. “It’s going to be a boxing match. It’s not going to have anything to do with the UFC. My brand, the closest thing my brand will be to this is obviously I’ll be a part of the promotion for the fight, and Conor’s my guy. That’s it.

“Listen, one of the things that we’ve done and the reason we’ve built this brand the way that we have is, we always bring people the fights they want to see. There’s no doubt that people want to see this fight, and it’s all anybody ever asks me about, so I’m going to do my best to see if I can get this thing done. I’m not saying I can, but we’re trying to.”

who cares

Maclife promotions.

Neck and neck with the UFConor, as predicted by st.Gregor.

(im saving ur bum thread that only has 1 half-dog comment in it so far)

Mayweather is going to laugh at that

He got 60% vs Pacquiao

Is this going to sell that well? Do ppl really care about that fight?

Its like Silva vs gsp all over again....

Everyone wants to see it (for their own reasons) yet i still very much doubt it will ever come to fruition

Edit:

Yes, casuals want to believe conor can beat floyd.... Realists want to see floyd embarrassing conor and then those who want to see it simply out of morbid curiosity

Apero ñolllloollolñpoooooll

There was a legitimate chance pac beat him if he came in healthy. This is a walk in the park and he's still being offered 100. I don't care who you are you're ears are open for 100 mil.

Where are you from, old mate?

its not like silva vs gsp because nobody gave a fook about silva vs gsp
