The pair have been bickering on the fight for some months now, with
Mayweather saying McGregor needs to settle his issues with UFC before he
thinks of fighting him, a fight that has been tipped to rake in close
to $1b.
But now it's been revealed that the UFC boss, is ready to allow the
fight happen and will offer huge sums- about £41million ($50million) of
the UFC’s money to the pair to engage in the fight.
Lance Pugmire, LA Times boxing and UFC reporter told Radio 5 Live how
White will pay the pair of fighters $25 million each (£20.5 million) to
face each other this summer.
He said:
“Mayweather clearly believes he is the A side and rightfully so, I believe he is 49 and 0 and has dominated so many great opponents that he has fought throughout his career, so he’s going to want more money than that. But the fact that Floyd has come out today and said I’m un-retiring to fight Conor McGregor is something that should move the needle.”
