Dana White makes offer to Mayweather to fight McGregor | THE HERD (FULL INTERVIEW)
• Dana White makes offer...
The Herd with Colin Cowherd:
/ colincowherd
how can you offer 25M to a guy that made over 200M in his last fight and call him the B side?
Nelson Rosa Pay close attention. A GUARANTEED 25 million. He'd probably make more off of ppv sales. Plus, Dana & UFC want to promote. if Floyd promoted it he'd get even more.
+C0230NDE flop or not. he still made 200 mil and has a record of 49-0 he beat all of the all-time greats and his generation.
and he is retired so he's going to come out of retirement for 25 million?
C0230NDE he had low PPV numbers but he still made more in that one fight than Conor has made in all of his fights combined. This fight will never happen with that kind of offer.
Floyd has 350,000 PPV buys his last fight.
Conor had 1 million +
if conor was his own boss he would make 800 Million +$ a fight.
Nelson Rosa HE is a idiot
Is this fool really thinking Floyd isn't the A side. 25 million??? Floyd would laugh.
manansis86
If Floyd fights again and it's not Conor no one would care
manansis86 he will not laught.
No one in MMA
Mankash911 nothing less then 9 figures
White is right that Mcregor is bigger draw right now.
Dana is trippin if he thinks floyd will accept that
***** that offer sounds a lot more viable now that u explained it. It's refreshing to see someone make a response that isn't riddled with insults. Shout out u sammy
sammy2629 Floyd can easily make 125 mil this fight ..why would he accept 85
sammy2629 not enuff for moneymayweather! cash king
@kobe24 because rn if Floyd were to fight another boxer his PPV would lower than Conor fighting another MMA fighter. Mayweathers last fight PPV was only about 500k. Conor's PPV is at 1.6m and is on the rise. See the difference? Conor is simply way more marketable. Reputation is cheap real PPV money talks. That is why even when asked in an interview if Mayweather wants to fight another boxer he said is he only interested in Conor. Why? Because he knows Conor is the biggest draw rn.
Tests floyd could fight Pacquiao,canelo or ggg and do way bigger numbers than canelo..stop it!! ufc is fairly new but boxing is still king period if it flexes its muscles
sooo....you are willing to pay Conor 25mil to fight Mayweather, but Conor can't get 25mil to fight anybody else? Sounds like Mayweather is the A side Dana.
exactly
Dana's always shady!
i think its more like you got a mayweather/paquiao situation where the payout can be that much because the turnout would generate more $
great point.
Pradigy Musicman exactly!
Floyd will be calling the shots. This fight will make Floyd a billionaire in income earned while boxing. Mayweather is the A side. McGregor is B side. Dana and the WME is the L side.
Tiberius Heritik the L side?😀😀
Floyd strong armed Manny, and Dana thinks he can make an offer
lol noone wants to see floyd fight only connor
Floyd isn't the A side because Connor has a bunch of people he will fight for big numbers. Whereas Connor is the only person Floyd would come out of retirement to fight.
Tiberius Heritik he use too be A side he's old now
If Floyd fought Pacman again he'd still make more money in one night than Conor has made in his entire career thus far
Brandon Singh Facts
no he wouldn't you idiot the sport of boxing is dead. Floyd killed it with his pussified tactics and his big mouth. Everyone who bought that fight felt they were cheated because it was one of the worst of all time.
Skyler Beckett Floyd can easily make 150 mil against paq yu dumbfck..all Floyd hater gonna buy the fight since they think pacman was hurt the first time
sammy2629 Its to highlight how much higher Floyd is career wise
Skyler Beckett You sound like spectator. he killed it why because pac man didn't tko him in 12 rounds.
Floyd's not fighting for $25 mil. This fight is never going to happen
sammy2629 he did not make 25 million in the 2nd time he has never made that LMFAOOOOOOOO
Floyd made $320 million against Pacquiao. As big as this fight we all think it is, Floyd is going to want way more than what Dana can offer; regardless of the live gate or the PPV money.
Dean Pizarro couldn't of said it better bro. Dana can't afford Floyd.
Floyd is gonna pull out 25 mill on IG and laugh
he gonna borrow it from 50?
C Moe i believe he will!!
C Moe I agree
C Moe lol yep exactly... interviewer said mayweather has only 100 million? this will definitely provoke a response on social media 🤑
and dana gonna pull out a billion on ig. mayweather aint shiid to dana. dana whites a real boss. mayweather aint shiiiet
if Floyd wanted this fight it would happen cause he's in control... Dana is conors daddy
G UNIT SOILDER Says a soilder from g unit lol
G UNIT SOILDER if Dana wants the fight he needs to stop being greedy and pay conner what conner deserves because the UFC is gonna pocket way more than 100 million for that fight
"soilder", lol
G UNIT SOILDER if conor is smart he'd fight out his contact, and cut Dana white and the UFC out the picture..
Conor almost always chosen his fights and does what he wants Bc Conor has made danas company into the success it is
Lmmfao @ McGregor is a bigger draw... LMMFAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂
he is right now ... Mcgregor has gotten 1.2-1.7 mil buy his last 4 fights. And all were vs no name opponents except maybe Diaz in the rematch. Mayweather did 400k buys his last fight and doesnt hit 1 million buys vs no names like Mcgregor. Mcgregor vs no name gets 1.4 mil buys, Mayweather's doesnt hit 1 mil.
Exactly, that is fact
Terrance Barbee he is.
he is u dumbfuck
Spencer Karpin yeah that was a one off just cause it's pacman. That was a once in a two decade kind of fight that has been building up for like 5 years. Can't use that a a gauge You need to count floyds fights no names. His last one before he retired did only 400k.
Floyd makes 100 million a fight.. why would he take 25 mill from you?
J Lyric because the main source of pay is ppv. 25 mil on top of around 60 mil in ppv revenue is around 85 mil. considering floyd made 30mil his last fight against berto. the only fight where hed make more would be paq but there's a chance he would lose that fight. no chance he loses to donor.
Seth August he won't take $25 mill, it's not enough to motivate him he said $100 mill or no fight
wya? Me and my friends wanna fight you. You not scared are you? We each gonna fight you twice a day for 4 months, you take on all challengers anytime anywhere right?
Kevin32001 the UFC are known to be greedy, they would want majority PPV, but Floyd always gets majority, fight won't happen if UFC is involved
oh really, who can floyd fight to make 100 million eh? will he travel back in time to when boxing was popular?
but Floyd fought everybody
Joshua Ford
Ehh it took Floyd 6 years to fight Manny
Joshua Ford when they age
paul williams
Joshua Ford he ain't fight me yet
Anthony Rose lol
If dana thinks he can tell Floyd how much money he has to make in order for this fight to happen he's stupid ..this fight ain't happenin👌🏻if it did it would be so one sided anyway ,
:( I wanted this fight :(
Die hard knicks Fan since the 90s ...1 sided indeed Conor would smash that lame..but this right won't happen no matter how much money Floyd is offered because he is a notorious cherry picker..
@ John Sprenger What? who did he not fight? Zab in his prime, Gatti in his prime. Hatton in his prime, Oscar was still a threat, smashed marquez, made mosley look like a fool.... so who was he cherry picking?
John Sprenger obviously you know nothing about boxing because Connor wouldn't beat an average boxer in a straight up boxing match and he damn sure can't beat Floyd period
right what is mr john talking bout? Floyd id the top dog and he offering him 25 each? they talkin about what the draw is for ppv but then he goes on to say that conner is huge over seas so they did 4 million in views with him being huge over seas and ufc staying on from 5 to 2 am and got 25 undercards and 2 main events but floyd pulls 2-3 with the us following and its only 3 fights on the under sounds like floyd is the draw
25m? pls Thats pocketmoney for Floyd... Why would he ever accept that?
stop spamming your comment
Give Conor 25 million and give Mayweather his 100 million. Dana wants to be the one to make 100 of millions on other people's back and Mayweather isn't having that.
exactly
Fine. But under kickboxing rules :-)
Dana is a lie! McGregor highest fight ever is 3 million PERIOD!
Jason Walker Dana is not a lie, he's a truth. In the UFC, the big stars make their money from PPV percentage. While Conor's highest base salary is 3 million dollars, with a percentage of the 1 million+ PPV buys, he made around 15-20 million in the last 2 fights.
bruh his net worth is 22million stop with the lies!! Mayweather has almost made a billions in 20 years Mcgregor is not bigger than MW
Jason Walker so you googled Conor's net worth and took that as fact? The UFC releases fighter BASE salary. They don't talk about how much they're making in PPV percentage. So whatever boogie website you're looking at doesn't know what his official paycheck is. Take Eddie Alvarez for example, he makes 1 dollar for every PPV buy between 200k and 400k, 2 for every buy between 400k and 600k, and 2.50 for every buy 600k+. That means for his McGregor fight he made around 2.725 million on PPV percentage alone if the fight sold around 1.4 million PPVs. And this is Eddie Alvarez, not the megastar that is Conor McGregor. He probably gets a lot more per buy, in addition to his base pay. Don't trust Google too much, it'll get you in trouble later in life.
lol so i googled and got real facts from forbes and you come up with 15-20 million on your own and im the fake ??? Lol so im supposed to trust your numbers? Please show me where you got those bs numbers!! ANd i will show you every dollar mayweather and mcgregor make! Both contracts are online!
"History was made by Conor McGregor at UFC 202, as the reigning featherweight champion scored $3 million for his fight with Nate Diaz. The lump sum was the largest given to a fighter in terms of disclosed payroll. Diaz, who lost a majority decision to McGregor, earned $2 million"
lol you know there's multiple occasions where former ufc fighters have said ufc/dana white lies about pay per view number and the fighters pay day.
Dana is more Delusional than some McGregor Fans hahaha you can't just look at his last PPV with Berto and IGNORE the biggest PPV in History on top of his overall Draw Appeal and Earnings. $25 Million for Mayweather? LMFAO
OTKP Conor's last 4 PPVs all sold over 1 million. With the exception of Manny which was the biggest PPV of all time, he hasn't broken 1 million against Maidana (either time) or Berto, which was abysmal. So Conor is an absolutely massive draw if he's fighting ANYONE while Floyd needs that super fight like Manny (which was hyped for years in advance) to sell a PPV. Remember, this has nothing to do with their boxing ability, just their ability to sell PPVs.
Talk to me when McGregor matches Mayweather vs Manny PPV Buys. This aint rocket science Mayweather is the bigger Draw PERIOD if he wasn't then this fight wouldn't even be mentioned. You don't hear any talked about McGregor fighting any other boxer JUST MAYWEATHER and that is for a reason because MAYWEATHER DRAWS!
OTKP so you're saying the fact that Floyd vs. Manny sold because of Floyd? Not because Manny was a megastar as well, and they teased the fight for 5 years before it actually happened? Conor gets an opponent on 10 days notice and still sold 1.6 million PPVs. The build up around Manny and Floyd was unprecedented and the PPV buys showed you how long people were anticipating it. But if you look at CONSISTENCY over the last few PPVs, Conor is destroying Floyd with the exception of the Manny fight. And again, lots of other factors played into the hype around the Manny fight. If you're looking at one amazing PPV number and ignoring the rest then this conversation isn't really gonna go anywhere.
M Z exactly bro... if they do it again, i guaranteed you they wont sell over 1mil..
Everybody had a bad taste and im sure i wont even buy that fight.
I bought the berto fight, and im prob not gonna buy another mayweather fight unless its an exciting star like conor
Mayweather vs Pacquiao did well because of BOTH but Question? What is Pacquaio PPV Buys since Mayweather retired? It is even worse than Mayweather vs Berto. But again Mayweather been drawing for YEARS not just showing up and doing well the last 1-2 years. People trying to just talk about the Berto and use that as the argument for McGregor I guess getting a bigger Cut but you're only fooling yourselves! Overall Mayweather been a big Draw in the sport of boxing for YEARS! You guys leave our Purses oh and also the fact that McGregor success also has a lot of to do with the COMPANY BEHIND HIM! UFC made Rousey a Draw as well!
Dana white seems shady, he wants to make more than both the fighters lol
Mark Wright yeah. You can tell how he says "Connor is under contract with me." Lol
Floyd doesn't want to fight. He wants a boxing match!
Conor lost to Nate , Floyd lost to who?
le Mitchell Floyd fights people with torn rotator cuffs get real. he runs from the fights he knows he might not win Conor fights anybody
Martell Mcclain who did he run from which world champion? You think coner should beat canelo triple k. You see how I'm the fight he makes them mis . his not going to try to tko him . he's going to out box him and walk off smiling with the money. that's his game
He ran from Pacman until he knew he was injured then wanted to fight him
Damn all you gotta do to be the P4P greatest boxer with the most titles, undefeated, and 26 kos is run? how come aint no one else doing it? Better yet howd those 26 people get knocked out from a run? thought they were trained? Guess they'd lose to someone with 5 more pounds or a slight reach advantage too lol, tell them run more
Floyd is not in the UFC so you shouldn't compare them
Will we see this fight in 2017?
Colin Cowherd No but McGregor might join the Cruiserweight division in WWE
The same Floyd who ducked manny for years? Nope, too little to gain & too much to lose. He would have to completely f*** his money up to even consider it
Hopefully!
Colin, the truth is I don't understand why Floyd thinks he is worth $100 million purse when his last fight was $32 million and only 400K buys. A $25 million purse with backend PPV of well over 2 million buys would be far better than his last fight
Colin Cowherd no we never will lol and it won't be a good fight to watch cause it'll be easy work for Floyd!!
If there was truth to what Dana is saying they wouldn't be begging for a fight with Floyd who's already been retired.
GhostMan 3000 yea why do they want this fight so bad bcus of the payday!!
You guys do know that the UFC basically stopped talking about McGregor vs Floyd a while ago its Floyd who keeps talking about it he even said that he would only come out of retirement for this fight in First Take. He knows this would be his biggest payday.
GhostMan 3000 there's about as much truth in this guy as I've got marsh mellows in my shoes 😁
Dana is playing the promoter game of trying to skew the public to his side, but he is dead wrong
Connor needs this fight more then Floyd. This brings light to how the UFC has been low balling their fighters.
Henry Moore Once Connor contract expires with the UFC he should go to boxing and make 3x more.
Bobby Jackson Fact
Hahahahaha one problem Conor can't box to save his life!
boxing is a dying sport but i agree MMA needs an overhaul
conor take the fight! take the 15 million! you havent ever been paid that for a fight and plus if you win- u can THEN demand more per boxing match but not yet
49-1 Conor bless.
crazydunker92 You're dumb af if you think that.
the fight cannot happen of Floyd gets 25mill he made 200 on the manny fight.
now he is magically coming out of retirement for 25mill?
lol nobody is thinking that but i will support conor if he fights floyd if nobody believes that conor doesnt even have 0.1%chance then how will be the buildup exciting i dont think conor will win but i want him to win
shivansh srivastava the day mayweather lose God going to hell
crazydunker92 sir stop he could barely handle Diaz punch drunk hands really
Conor McGregor is the biggest name in MMA but Floyd Mayweather is the biggest name in combat sports today. Floyd is more well known compared to McGregor and should be the A-Side.
RevolutionRapter5000 Floyd is not more of a global star than Conor
of course he is, boxing is worldwide.
Floyd is a global superstar. Connor is only known in the west at most. It would be no contest. A 20 year great vs a guy whose only been fighting for what 5 years? Cmon bro, Floyd is A side and connor would get REKT.
smitty manjensen he is what? In sweden people know more about Connor than Floyd! Boxning scene is way lower here in europé than america, stop call bs about global ! Connor is way more global than Floyd let me tell you that!
blomgren182 Sweden is the west- re read my comments
hahahaha mma fighters don't make boxing superstar money not close
Mike Leuty the UFC is 20 years old. It's in its infancy. Boxing has been around forever.
yh so why is this guy offering floyd less money than he has earned in the past 10 years for any fight, whats the incentive
Hugh Janus still it's common knowledge their payment is nowhere near compatible on average boxers get paid far far more
and yet MMA is real fighting and boxing is just rock em' sock em' retards, bash each other with hand pillows until you sound as dumb as tython
tim osman hahaha kicking is for pussys growing up if someone kicked in a fight they got jumped kicking and giving Indian burns is not real fighting nobody kicks on the streets I'm from
25 MILLION?? Both fighters should make 100 million each. Dana White needs to let Conor take this fight. You can tell how scummy the UFC can be, they are the main reason this fight won't happen
Amanuel Mekonnen well at least the UFC offered Conor more money than Floyd did
Cool. Now add another 15 mil and we can get this thing rolling. Connor just wanna fight right? Take the 15 from Connors purse. He said himself he just wanna fight so make the 100 mil happen, Connor really wanted smoke he would just take $0
Logical Average PPV Buys for Potential Floyd Fights:
Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao 2 = 2- 3 million buys
Floyd Mayweather vs Canelo Alvarez 2 = 2 million buys
Floyd Mayweather vs GGG = 2 million buys
Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor = 3.5 million buys
No matter what, Floyd can come back and get more buys than Conor.
Also, 25 million? Really Dana?
TheWeasle17 60 million after ppv cut.
.instead of his usual 75-100
TheWeasle17 logical because you say so?
Mark McKinney Logical in my opinion. I believe those are reasonable numbers don't you?
Floyd Vs Pac Man was around 4.5 Million PPV buys
TheWeasle17 Floyd GGG would make 3.5 to 4 million if GGG gets past Danny Jacobs
25 Million to Floyd Mayweather laughable
lol this fight won't happen 100 %
Floyd don't need mcgregor if Floyd wants a big fight all he gotta do is fight pacquiao or canelo again and he will do over 2 million ppv buys with both
BO fighting conor is easier and same amount of money
Yea you right is easier but people act like he really needs Connor the reason he did 350k ppv fight in his last fight is because he fought a bum
BO true
But Floyd wants to be undefeated though
But will he tho? His last 2 fights were a waste of money, the pacquiao fight... Waste. Berto fight... Waste. Who wants to watch a boring fight they want to watch a good fight and McGregor is a good fight
I hate Dana but I am with him on this..Mayweather is dreaming
Don Loocho how is he dreaming Floyd hadn't made less than 50 in 10 years
Brian Pierce lmao right , floyd can demand what he wants .. it's Conor that really needs Floyd to really make that type of money for a fight
Brian Pierce mayweather is the A side
Floyd has made less than 50m in most of the last 10 years wtf are u smoking. His career earnings 700m out of which he made most of that in a single fight thanks to pac and his fans.
None why must he be a old white guy?
Talk about insults Dana White offering 25 mil lmao is he really that deluded or just plain stupid? We're talking about boxing here of course Floyd is the A side and he can fight another boxer for more money than that easily. In fact what gave Dana the impression that he was calling the shots here? Floyd calls the shots and he's not fighting for less than 9 figures which he has already made before so it's not unrealistic at all. Not to mention this wouldn't even be a contest at all since Floyd would obliterate him.
thebeast12333 Floyd can't make more fighting someone other than Conor
Spencer Karpin lol of course he can
NO HE CANT YOU IDIOT THE SPORT OF BOXING IS DEAD YOU PEASANT. FLOYD DID 400K his last payperview and he is the biggest boxing draw the sport is gone.
Bufu leafy When you think about it the boxers who couldn't make it actually ends up in the UFC. I'm not knocking the UFC or nothing but the amount of time a boxer spends training probably out weighs any sport
Anthony Gilchrist that's crazy. People train 10 years or more before becoming a black belt in BJJ sometimes and guys wrestle since middle school. Plus learn to kick and punch. To become a complete mixed martial artist is unlike anything else. Most mma fighters aren't failed boxers. MMA is the fastest growing sport in the world and boxing is dying.
Connor will respect Floyd when he gets pieced up for 15 rounds.
Jarrett Hoogerhyde 15 rounds? Lol what sport is that, boxing is 12 3 minute rounds
Ozymandias Thrilla in manilla lasted 14 rounds.
Ozymandias my bad they use to use the 15 round system.
Dana White is so delusional. Not only is he offering Mayweather chump change compared to recent fights he had in the last decade, but he also wants to run the fight as a UFC fight with UFC undercards? Lmao. Mayweather has all the leverage here, and he'd use this platform to boost his Mayweather Promotion s brand.
Brian Cheng if they fight us going to be in boxing rules not mma rules floyd would never fight in the cage
Dana's right. Mcgregor is more box office.
liver666 lol yeah right. Floyd is a giant. Conor is Mr right now and Floyd is Mr right.
floyd is not a giant anymore.. his last PPV numbers were 350k. conor has sold 5m PPV in his last 3 fights alone...
liver666 thats wrong mfs gone buy it because they wanna see Floyd lose at the end of the day mfs not watching it to see Conner its the hate of mayweather and wanting to see him lose it why they gone buy it
joseph perez flyod mayweather is still the bigger draw
liver666 in ufc right
Dana white is gonna be the reason this fight doesn't happen.
Yes dana spitting the truth we love this guy!!!
John 'P4P best coach' kavanagh Dana is not finna strong arm floyd like he does his ufc fighters
None facts
man he said the truth u gets ur facts checked floyd last fight was with berto which did 300k lol
John 'P4P best coach' kavanagh the truth about what. he is accomplished why would he come out of retirement for 25 million
Darius Clark Floyd's last fight was against Berto and did 300K PPVs... I assume you don't follow either sport much huh?
Thats chump change for a guy who earns 100 to 200 million for a fight. Floyd woudnt even get out of bed for 25 mil
Remember when Heavyweights used to be the draws in combat sports? Ali-Frazier, Tyson-Holyfield? When did the world become obsessed with midget twigs?
Ricky T.P.B all those names u mentioned can barely talk without slurring their words and went through financial problems. You just proved floyds point of fighting the way he does and demands that type of money.
he wants to give Conor 25, Floyd 25 while he takes the 150+ mil and run. Mayweather won't allow Dana to do to him what he does to all his other fighters
Floyd said talk to your boss and then come back to me
Because he doesn't want to fight Conor duh.
LA Kings 50 50 split sounds like Dana don't want the fight he knows floyd is a boss and hes gonna get paid like Dana and the UFC not like a fighter these fools know that
Floyd has no boss idiot.
Dana is tryna take control of The Boxing side of it... Talking 'bout He would stack the Card... It's Not an UfC event, it's Boxing.
25 million thats a joke hes made more than that in his last fight
You can't believe a word that comes out of dana's mouth
To think the UFC is even on the same level as Floyd is a complete joke... they are embarrassing themselves.
100 million dollars is a real deal for floyd not 25million
Floyd did NOT make 200M in his last fight. He made 32 Million plus a pay per view that only sold a 1/3 of Conor's last fight. You didn't hear about it, because that's what he sells fighting against people that aren't named MANNY. He would make more fighting Conor in this fight than any other fight right now including his last.
Thats cool. Now total how much money has Connor made. And how much has floyd made? Connor getting hyped up so his pro record must be something like 30-0 right? I remember rousey being undefeated too
Sure. Floyd has made more, but not on his last fight. He needs Conor. Conor will sell more PPV buys than any fight Mayweather can get against anyone else right now. Name one bigger fight right now he could make right now.
Floyd could make more than 25 million easily in a rematch against Pacman or Canelo and they would probably sell over 2 million PPV buys as well with Floyd taking the majority percentage.
Maaaaaaybe Canelo, but the sales would not surpass the Conor fight. Consider the back end of the PPV sales and how much of a difference that would make. As for a rematch of the Manny fight? Nobody wants to see that again. That left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.
Jason Hartley floyds income dwarfs conors in and out of the ring always will...Wether they fight or not...we are just fight fans....he's not a 25 year old novice...Floyd is the man you all know it!
Dana White is delusional.
25 million to a guy who clears 100 million before the lights come on? 😂😂😂
This fight is probably going to happen assuming Floyd puts his pride aside and gives Conor his fair cut.
Joe Gil his fair cut? he lost before u can't compare greatness to being OK
fair cut? Connor wants Floyd money for the fight which would be at least three times more than his highest pay so far. That's not happening.
Reginald Austin he lost in a fight. Boxing isn't a fight bro.. you don't have to worry about kicks, submissions, ground and pound, takedowns.. it's a lot different then just hands...no one finishes their career in UFC undefeated because you can be finished by anything.
Joe Gil he said he'll only fight for $100 million nothing less
You're just talking. Connor wants a boxing match with the greatest? If we wanna be real world accurate Floyd can just get his goons on him, or just shoot him, which is what would happen in the "real world" tell ya boy give up the 100 mil to the king and take his L in the right too.
Floyd made $250 million for his last fight with Pacquiao. Dana makes $20 million a year. It would take Dana almost 12 years to make what Floyd made in one night. How the hell does Dana think he can call the shots to a man who doesn't have a boss and makes more money than him? That's so disrespectful!
It's funny too how Dana white thinks he will be involved if this fight happens lol. This would be a boxing promotion not a ufc promotion. Dana saying he will give Floyd this and that.hahahah first of all Floyd prolly cuts Dana out if Connor wants the fight. Floyd not international h s prolly the most popular fight in Europe still.!!!! Floyd will return Connor to the ufc with permanent damage.
Mayweather take $25mil??? lmao. This is why no one takes Dana seriously anymore.
Dana is the modern day Don King
McGregor the bigger draw yet Floyd holds the 3 most grossing pay per view events of all time.
it has to be a boxing match since conor called out floyd
My name's stephen and i love blowing 3-1 leads wrong Floyd started all this do your research
Spencer Karpin sorry Connor started it. All Floyd said is he didn't know who he was. Funny how everyone loves Connor for the brashness cockiness and sh*t talking but crucified Floyd for it.
Are you stupid, Floyd even said himself that he started the rumour.
Yes, yes she is
25 million plus maybe an additional 20-25 from the PPV cuts, 50 mil isn't a bad deal for a retired fighter.
Lol if you think Floyd is gonna think abt 25 mill, delusional!
The one blocking this fight at this point is Dana White. The guy doesn't sell fights well. No way Floyd Takes the fight with less than 100 million guaranteed. You have to give him his minimums, 60% of the PPV, and just make it happen. Floyd is super-rich and is 40+. He doesn not need the fight, as much as Connor does.
Floyd is 100% the A-side, what is wrong with him? lol no need to act tough for the cameras
finallynb so true smh Floyd response will be interesting
you're mad because you weren't involved in the talking 😂
he hasn't made an offer to you. he's reaching out to connor, not dana
Danaher White has no say in this matter. McGregor is now recognized as a professional boxer and he is not under contract with Danaher as a Boxer. This is the legal loophole McGregor is using. Dana is just talking like he always does
DANA DOESN'T EVEN MAKE MORE THAN FLOYD TO MAKE AN OFFER.
Selma HAHAHA No freakin joke! The funniest thing is that Floyd is a better fighter than Dana's best fighter (McGregor) and he's a better promoter than Dana.
Pretty stupid management by Dana White. Canelo Alvarez would accept 25 million, with mcgregor taking a large percentage of the PPV and the fight would still be a very big one.
Conor should look at white with some suspicion because he's only offering 25 mill.... that fight would generate billions of dollars due to the fanbases hate for Floyd.....
Connor McGregor's net worth is less than the amount of money Floyd has spent on his cars, around 20 million and up. So why would Floyd risk his perfect record in order to put the UFC in a bigger spotlight? They are going to have to bump it up to 100 million in order for Floyd to risk his legacy.
This interviewer is incredibly biased...Cannot even give 1 hard question to Dana ..and agrees with almost everything Dana says...I hope he reads this comment maybe then he'll grow a spine and not just kiss Dana's feet.
99% of interviewers are like that it would seem. There was one guy recently who got into it with Dana but other than that. . . The worst was after Reebok deal, awful softball questions with no follow up.
Love the business experts in the comments who don't even realize Dana is just making a pre-negotiation low ball. And btw, even if that was a legitimate offer and not just a business tactic, that would be the easiest $25M a human has ever made in their life. Conor obviously has a chance at winning, but 25M to Floyd to fight an MMA fighter in a boxing match is basically a gift.
let's get this over with it will be fast conner iz dead
You can't blame Dana for being this stupid, he has to defend Connor by default. Yes we know he doesn't k wtf he's talking about here, but he's the president of the UFC for crying out loud. Connor has made him so much $ he's gotta have his back
Mayweather has made more than 100m only on the pac fight. Every other fight hes made less dont be deluded.
you stupid.
No. Maybe like mayweather you can't read. Go look up how much he made in his other fights and come back.
JAM but what reason would he take a mediocre 25 mill for when he can get that fighting a no body
Find out for yourself what happened in Mayweathers last fight. He got 32m guaranteed and the fight ended up making a loss after paying the fighters. Nobody wants to see mayweather fight. He had one big pay day vs pac other than that 25-40m is what he makes for a fight.
JAM no he keeps majority PPV he's made more than $70 mill in multiple fights he's posted checks on Instagram
Everytime Dana says Conor McGregor, he creams his pants
I hate what he's trying to do. He's trying say, I gave him a deal (which is a bs deal) if he's scared he won't take it.
Because in WHAT world would Conor and Floyd be getting the same pay for a fight
Dana is proving right here he really doesn't want Conor to fight Floyd, he knows easily Floyd should be getting a 9 figure pay day just like he did for the pacquiao fight, Conor never made anything close to $230mil in one fight.
so Floyd should take a pay cut to fight him gtfoh
you mean 25 million to RUN AROUND IN THE RING with Connor McGregor!!!!!
this is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard from Dana white your gonna bully Floyd into taking 25 million when he's made at least 20× that in like his last 7 fights
I like Dana as a business man and promoter but let's get real..... I highly doubt Conor has ever made more than 10M per fight, and he's only been involved in 5 big money fights by UFC standards. No matter what both sides think or say, the data still shows a rematch between Pac and May would still be the second biggest fight in combat sports history.
Dana White is delusional! Floyd doesn't get out of bed for 25 million and is clearly the A-Side!
Offering Mayweather 25 million... that's a joke.
Dana white is the main reason I don't watch ufc anymore. This interview was a failed ambush. If boxing is dead then why are trying to get this fight? Floyd not the A side in a boxing match are you joking ? Sad to say I didn't think he is.
1. Conor's boxing skill is no match for Mayweather's.
2. That Conor knockout punch power that you see in the UFC -- that will be gone once he puts on thicker boxing gloves.
They are negotiating. Dana is talking Floyd down to get a better deal.
This sounds kind of desperate on UFC's part. Their "sport" is dying and they've been trying to make Mcgregor into a big name by using Mayweather's name to sell their fights.
Conner would never get the same money fighting another fight. Dana wants his piece... that's why it would never happen.
25mil for Floyd? What an insult!
25 million? Tyson was making that in the 90s, wow Dana you can rip off you're fighters, but you can't rip off boxers.
Man he thinks BOXERS are dumb people. Even mcgregor made more than that
if i was an ufc fighter i would be mad asf because he wouldnt dare offer another ufc fighter 25 mil to fight connor
give floyd 100m and ask him to step into the octagon and let the world see what an mma fighter can do to a boxer
Dee dub why would he step into a octagon when he was the one challenged?
Why would Floyd come out of retirement to make less money than he did vs Berto for a fight he knows will get millions of PPV buys?
Connor McGregor PPV numbers.
UFC 202: Diaz vs.McGregor (2) 1.65 million buys
UFC 196 Diaz vs McGregor (1) 1.6 million buys
UFC 194 Aldo vs. McGregor 1.4 million buys.
Floyd Mayweather jr. PPV numbers.
Pacuiao vs. Mayweather 4.6 million buys
De LaHoya vs. Mayweather 2.48 million buys

Manny Pacuiao PPV numbers
Maymeather vs. Pacuiao 4.6 million buys
De LaHoya vs. Pacuiao 1.25 million buys
Marquez vs. Pacuiao 1.25 million buys
Lol you put up Floyd's biggest fights in his career. Conor just turned 28 years old and is already hitting almost 2M buys. Floyd was on the undercard when he was 28 lmao
I don't know who that is, I just put there most grossing PPV fights.
FYI yes Floyd Mayweather sold 300k - 400k in his last PPV And he got a guarantee 30,million. also got paid 30million plus ppv points. Just think about that......
Why tf would floyd agree to 25 mil and an mma fight? lmao.
I see it now, Dana White promoting his "Great White Hope" vs the hated Mayweather with Donald Trump backing his pal Dana White and McGregor.
