Just moments ago on FS1’s “The Herd with Colin Cowherd,” UFC President Dana White reminded Floyd Mayweather that Conor McGregor is under contract with the UFC and he’s the only person who can make a real fight offer. His offer: $25 million to each Floyd and Conor to fight (boxing), as well as negotiate the PPV split. Dana realizes Floyd wants $100 million and believes with the guaranteed $25 million, along with a split of the PPV, he will come close to that number.

the only reason mayweather sold a lot of tickets and ppv is because people wants to see him crawl on the canvas when he gets KOed but sadly it aint happening MF got awesome defense lol.

Dana White needs to stay in UFC because he clearly doesent know what tf he's talking about. The reason mayweathers last PPV was average, was because of the lack of opponent, not the fact people dont want to see mayweather. TBH, alot of floyd ppv's come from people that want to see him get KTFO from the canelos, pacquaios, the cottos etc. Conor isnt a money fught when youre offering 25 million. He can easily make that money for a canelo 2, GGG, cotto 2, the winner or garcia vs thurman, porter, and if manny pacquaio keeps looking good, he might be able to sell the fact that the injury he sustained before the fight, was the reason he lost against floyd, and would be healthy for a rematch and make 100 million, lot less then last time but alot more 4x more than the mcgregor fight. And white is lying, conor has never mad 10 million a fight. And the reason floyd wants to fight conor, is not because he is "THE" money fight, its because hes the easiest money fight out of like 5 boxers.

He's making it sound like Floyd is the one that needs to fight Connor, when it's the UFC that needs Floyd, Floyd retired with a perfect record. He got 100mil against pacquiao so why fight Connor for less.

Is it just me, or is it weird for the two of them to be this public with the money issue surrounding the fight? As a fan, I don't care which fighter gets paid what. I just want to see the fight.
If the fight does happen, Floyd is fast and smart enough to just stay away from Conor and land some counter shots. Conor has some very quick, hard-hitting combinations – especially for a UFC fighter, but Floyd is a professional boxer; not to mention undefeated. Floyd has fought boxers who are harder punchers and faster than Conor. It's a totally different game, boxing. I'm a huge fan of Conor but even if Floyd takes the fight lightly he still will win easily by decision…..

let's be honest conner is never going to make close to what Mayweather has why are they trying to get him seen like this great fighter. only reason people want to fight Floyd is because they know they are going to get there biggest payday not because they think they can beat him

I thought Dana was smart….Floyd had 350k views and cleared 35 million. Conor had 1.3 mill views and cleared 3 million. Care to reconcile this incredible deviation in purse totals!!!!!

Seems like Dana only wants the fight to happen if he can be the one to control it. Dana seemed more apprehensiveness about it happening when it was just Conor and Floyd talking back and forth.

so disrespectful, I'm going to say one thing Mayweather was champ when Connor was 8 years old think about that and then you tell me he is worth the same.

In this case the Dana and Conner need Floyd more than the other way around. I'm sure Floyd wants to get him in a boxing ring for 12 rounds. That would be easy money. Mcgregor gasses out in 3 rounds he is not made for anything more than that.

McGregor goes inside the Octagon for the kill, unlike Mayweather… meh! Boring!
I doubt dana has paid Conor 10 million a fight. Floyd is right, the UFC is still depending on circus acts to sell their product, that's why they keep bringing Brock Lesnar back, that's why they Hyped CM Punk fight, that's why they were giving everything ronda wanted until recently. Floyd knows that Conor doesn't make even 1/10th of what he makes. Both Dana and Conor want to use Floyd as the chicken that lays the golden eggs

So Danas throwing out offers to get a piece of the backend pie too???? lol. Floyds number is 100m guaranteed & I dont think hes ever gonna back down from that number
Dana would also get a huge promo for UFC if this fight ever happened

Conor McGregor would starch Floyd "Monkey" Mayweather. Floyd beats women to a pulp because he has no punching power for men. Total coward.
Frederick0220 you mad because he got more money than you
LOL…Conor has significantly more money than me yet I love him. I just don't support felons who beat women. Crazy concept, right?
whats that got to do with ring performance, you obviously care about his domestic life probably because you dont have a life of your own.

Dana White is obviously an inferior businessman. How is that even an offer that was well thought out?
Floyd can get a bigger payday with Canelo rematch, Pacquiao rematch. At least offer something competitive.
What a waste of time.
the winner of thurman v garcia, GGG etc. Dana is delusional.
ReverseSouthpaw Lol nope. This may be dumb but hes an amazing businessman. Worth more than floyd and conor but together. And hes the main reason the UFC is worth 4.2 billion.

Dana the weasel and WME-IMG want a piece of the pie just for the heck of it, that 25 million is embarrassing.
Dana, you're NOT the guy, neither fighter needs a promoter especially a rubbish one like you, Conor is a star because of how he fights and how he talks, not because of the UFC, if UFC was that good at promoting there'd be hundreds of stars, instead there's only Conor, Ronda is finished, Jones is always stuck in legal nonsense and GSP probably won't come back. Diaz brothers and Penn PPV numbers are opponent dependent, Conor is not.
Conor vs Mayweather = the biggest PPV in history if it happens, they don't need to share the wealth with anyone.

Hell, I'll fight Conor for 25 Mill
If Conner is willing to fight anyone why not GGG Heavy hitter, or Canelo Álvarez closer to his age. 25 mill They better try to booked Canelo – Dana knows damn well Floyd won't take that fight with that low number.

$25 million is pocket change to mayweather. He won't do it for anything less than $100 million
nope, not even close. he made 32 mil…. stick to facts
J Isbister the fact is Floyd mayweather made $230 million dollars off the fight against manny pacquiao. So u need to check your facts
That wasn't his last fight… you clearly don't know facts.
Fusion that was his last fight cause that match against whatever his name was shouldn't count as a fight cause how out matched he was
lol ok
$25 million is pocket change to mayweather. He won't do it for anything less than $100 million
Cause his last fight got him $100 million and another $130 million in paper view money

"Conor did a million three hundred million five, ppv buys" What? tf. how many did he do then I couldnt understand that……..
J Isbister na, he said "a million three million" that's not a number, besides he's never done 1.5………not hard to understand either
J Isbister cause it was basically because of Nate
nope, verbatim he said "a million three and a million five" you should listen better… and show me a link to a ppv where nate sold even 100k as the main card…. I'll give you time
Know what you're talking about before commenting please. Nate drew 1M on an 11 days notice vs McGregor, and he did it again in his next fight over 1M, let alone a measly 100K, thanks for giving me time……..didnt need it though.

lol Dana White is trippin. Why would the Champ agree to this? He made 100m for his last fight, plus why should the Champ get the same amount as McGregor? If Im the Champ, I would tell him to kIck rocks.
The Champ could fight anybody and make 25m. lol

I think Dana White is forgetting Floyd is his own boss. He is also
forgetting if the fight happens Connor will be stepping into a boxing
ring not an octagon. Dana is crazy if believes Floyd will get off his
couch for 25 mil. Dana you can't use your business tactics against Floyd
like you do your fighters in MMA where you rip them off. Conor should
wait till his contract expires and pursue the fight free from Dana
White.

floyd don't need UFC to put on a fight so why would he only take 25 million for a fight when he can do it himself and make 9 figures? This will never happen lol

Floyd Mayweather is NOT fighting for 25 million. He probably makes that on his interest alone
the guy makes 7 figures a month and is half way through a 1.2 billion dollar real estate project, your right, dana is nothing to him

I feel like this fight will probably happen. This is the kind of drama BS that always precludes an eventual big fight. People are focusing too much on what Dana is saying. He's a promoter. He's stirring up controversy to generate interest. Conor wants the fight for the pay day. Floyd wants the fight for both the money, and a safe, easy way to notch number 50. It'll happen.

Connor's Net Worth (according to Forbes') ain't even 25 million, so whose money fight is it? Mayweather is worth $340 million +, Floyd doesn't need this fight at all so he can ask for 100 million. You can buy Connor's whole life with 25 million, Floyd would barely notice if he lost 25 million…that is why he is the A side.

25 mil?? For Floyd? Dude just cashed in over 150-200 mill off the pac fight. Mcgregor has never make plus 20 million in his whole career. This must be a joke. Floyd needs A side. At LEAST 50 mill upfront and pay per view buys for him to even consider. Dana thinks he negotiating on UFC terms. Floyd ain't nothing to play with money wise. You can say his fights are boring and he's boring but the man don't play when it comes to cashing out.

Wow, the amount of haters on here lol. The UFC is a company, its motive is to make a profit, particularly on the back of the recent takeover that was financed. These loans need to be paid back. The UFC would seriously consider this fight if it made sense financially. Win lose or draw, Conor's stock would rise as he is not expected to win against one of the all time great boxers. I believe Dana's offer is genuine, the stumbling block is, how much of the PPV pie does each fighter get on top of the $25m. At a guess I'd say 20%, and that is being generous considering their current model offers top fighters in or around 5% of PPV's. Say 20% of approximately 3million buys at $60 per PPV = $36m + $25m = $61m. However, considering the UFC has to pay $50m out before PPV's I'd seriously doubt they would be willing to offer much more in terms of % of PPV. If Floyd was offered that I couldn't see him accepting. Unless he was offered a bigger slice of the PPV buys, in which would then upset McGregor. I'd love to see the fight, even for the smack talk and novelty value. But I would be surprised if the fight was made, as there is too much ego to contend with from either side. The UFC won't let Floyd dictate terms and vice versa.

It's a very public negotiation. Everything said by Dana/Conor/Floyd is strategic. Floyd put the ball in Dana's hands, now Dana just tossed the ball back to Floyd. Let's see how Floyd reacts. I don't know why they don't just call each other and have a conversation about it. One thing is for sure though, both parties are interested in the fight. It's just a matter of settling on a deal.
If it's just publicity for Conor, then why does Floyd talk about it as much as he does? He is involved in the conversations/interviews regarding the fight just as much as Dana and Conor. Both sides are negotiating and setting the stage.
+Justin M
lol Floyd loves the publicity as much as anyone. this is a fantasy fight. nothing more.
Dana is spot on. With PPV buys added Conor has made well over 8 million in multiple fights. Floyd only made 100 million once or twice. Besides a few fights Floyd never consistently or rarely hit over 1M buys. Floyd only made the money he did because the money in boxing is extremely higher. If Conor was his own promoter and UFC wasn't operated like boxing Conor would be making Floyd money. He is the bigger draw, especially globally. Like Dana said, Floyds only money fight is Conor. Conor can fight anyone in the UFC and it will do over 1M PPV buys. If Floyd fought anyone in boxing it wouldn't do 1M buys. Floyds 100M demand is ludacris. He only made that because boxing money is way different. I mean credit to Floyd for being his own promoter in boxing and getting that. But besides that manny fight, his PPV money was not anywhere near Conor's if you look at numbers.

Unless Floyd is going to fight the likes of Pacquiao or GGG …. he has 0 value in boxing. No one is gonna watch him fight another lesser opponent, and he doesn't want to risk anything by fighting the better opponents.
McGregor is the real value to this fight. He is still young and can continue making money. Sure its not Mayweather money … but that's a matter of the sport which is still growing.
Floyd thinking its an easy paycheck. Both can hype a fight. We will all be entertained. Boxing purists want to see Floyd punish McGregor. MMA fans think McGregor has a chance. MAke it happen.

If it happens, which I highly doubt, it will be a completely boring, one-sided boxing match. Guys like Teddy Atlas have said that McGregor needs at least 2 years of boxing experience before he can even think of fighting at a championship level. Surely, Dana White knows this. So all this talk is just talk. Dana better be careful. This WWE stuff works for the WWE, but I doubt it'll work for the UFC.

He could just fight Manny again and make 4x that, easy, guaranteed, if that's the case.

My point is, Floyd is about the money. If he can make more money fighting someone else he will. $25 isn't enough and Dana is crazy if he thinks this offer is remotely appealing to him.

yeah youll pay floyd ad conor 25 million a piece then youll pocket the rest of the im guessing 100-200 million
He said they'll get a cut of ppv as well that could be another $25 million

Conner is the best MMA fighter in the world and Floyd is the best boxer in the world but I'm not paying to see Floyd's boring defensive style but I would certainly pay to see Conor fight anyone because he comes to fight and gives the crowd there money's worth.
"Connor" is the best MMA figher in the world, save that for GSP or Jon Jones
So "the best MMA fighter" was choked by DIAZ ??
I think DJ (Mighty Mouse) is the best pound for pound fighter.

Brandon Christopher its a counter to the ridiculous offer floyd made Conor this is good for the fight though it seems like theres some negotiating being done now and hopefully not all smoke and mirrors
Connor's never made more than $3M/fight!! They just said Ronda had the highest purse = $3M = you drank the kool-aid & now you look stupid!! Believing anything the UFC says when they underpay their fighters is just plain stupid!! Connor wants to fight Floyd because he knows he'll never make that much money anywhere else or in his lifetime!! Dana will never show proof of what he says because he knows people like you will believe any BS they say!!!

Truth
Dana is high to think Mayweather would do 50/50 split
lol dana white can put a spin on anything, i'll give him that
lol dana white can put a spin on anything, i'll give him that
Floyd get 100M every fight hes not taking 25M thats chump change for him
Tbh I don't think this fight will make or be as big of a draw as people think. I thinks it's more both sides trying to promote it, but let's be honest… who really would pay to watch that fight?
Every boxing fan ever that buys PPV events, and every MMA fan ever that buys PPV events. Not to mention this would be one of those "Boxing VS MMA" fights that rarely happen but often gets debated about, using THE TWO biggest fighters from each sport. Buddy you're out of your mind if don't think this fight would be huge.
Cliff Paul A lot of people.
Justin M it just looks like more media hype than anything. It's not as big as how Pac and Floyd was talked about or advertised to be… jus
It's not just media hype when you actually have Mayweather and Dana White doing interviews discusing pay figures. The media can't media hype clickbait that when it's real.

Kinda lost respect for Dana, whatever.. Floyd was making that and some his very very early days… Just stop.

Dana white is delusional smh….
Dana white is delusional smh….
Mayweather was getting $50m guaranteed(before PPV split) from his previous multi fight deal. How is $25m a reasonable offer? Dana White is a joke.

For him to offer Floyd $25 million shows how much he knows he can make off of Floyd, why would you pay that much to someone you said got 325k ppv buys, you don't but the only way you make money is if you give Floyd whatever he wants.

wrong Floyds last ppv did 600k vs berto with no interesting undercard, conor doesn't do over a mill on his own, the ufc makes stacked cards so for you to say conor is doing a mill every ppv is dishonest when there's top tier fighters and champions fighting in the Co main event and undercard. conor has never made 10 mill guaranteed, he likely clears that after his ppv cut but floyd was offering 15 mill and a ppv cut which would be big money.

So would Conor getting involved in a boxing match violate his UFC contract? Can Conor not actually organize a boxing match without going against that contract?
+Purple As long as Connor works for Dana, he'll need his permission to fight Floyd = Floyd will have to pay the UFC to RENT Connor for a night = $30M-$40M MINIMUM if they're serious!! Then he'll pay Connor the $15M he said he would or whatever they agree on!! Connor doesn't want to fight Floyd = he wants the UFC to pay him MORE & fighting Floyd is really a threat towards them = he knows he'll LOSE & embarrass the company = they'll have to pay him to change his mind because they've spent MILLIONS on marketing MMA as better than boxing & MMA fighters as better than a boxer = Connor is smart & KNOWS that he has a bit of leverage in this conversation since the UFC has him as their ONLY big-draw now that RR lost again = Ronda losing was the single greatest thing to happen to Connor in his lifetime!!! The window for all of this is very small & that's why the UFC & Connor are acting so anxious for this to happen soon = JBJ will be back in July = the great white-hype show will have reached the end of the line & the UFC/MMA will have to return back to reality where things don't always go the way they've been planning!!!
+ Purple The UFC owns Conor, literally. They own his name and his image for life. I have multiple friends who fought for the UFC and the contracts are as draconian as a contract can get. Conor does nothing without permission from the UFC. Randy Couture is the only UFC fighter who owns his name and image, and he had to take Zuffa to court to get them.

Don't think that offer excited Floyd but White is entertaining to listen to.

If Floyd isn't the A side or the biggest draw…why not offer another boxer like Pacquiao the $25 million? LOL. There's a reason the 2 of the biggest MMA fighters male and female have used Floyd's name to help promote.
Scott Walker actually Conor called out Floyd first ., L
this is what i've been saying. Go fight some other boxer then if Conner is the A side. There are plenty. This only matters because it's Floy Mayweather. Floyd don't need the money and Floyd doesn't need UFC to put on a fight. He can do all this himself and the only thing stopping it is Conner's contract with UFC. But UFC pimps it's fighters and any contract with UFC is going to pale in comparison with to what Floyd would be able to do on his own so I don't see them ever making a deal. Their business models don't fit
Die hard knicks Fan since the 90s actually Floyd was mentioned to him Floyd waited almost a whole year to mention Conor because he started getting up there in numbers Floyd started continuously mentioning dude cause he knew he can't make money with anybody else
no Connor is is the one who called out Floyd lol dont try it

There is no way he legit thinks they are worth the same amount, but he's a promoter, he has to drop that bs

Floyd made over $200 Mill in his fight with Pac-Man. The fact you think he'd take anything under nine figures is laughable.
Floyd didn't make that money in his last fight and Dana said they'll both get a PPV split. It isn't 25m in his pocket, its alot more than 25m.
Purple thn wats point of fighting Conor ..wen Floyd can make 40 mil fighting a bum
Your question makes no sense at all and relates to nothing.

Quintin Sweat that wasn't the last fight

lol floyd is the A side come on man idc what the numbers are if floyd fights anyone decent if he fights pac again hes getting 100 million again floyd and conor should not make the same amount of money dont be a hater think logically about this folks
+Scott Walker obviously your tougher then both of us because you know curse words and you aren't afraid to use them on the Internet
Do you seriously think Floyd will fight in the UFC !? And for 25 millions ?!
this fight is nothing without floyd. He makes this fight. If they don't think so Conner can go fight some random UFC fighter for 3 million
Gerard Atkins don't think in this situation he isn't bringing in the money Anymore Conor is
+Trae 5 family I have to respectfully disagree because Floyd is not active does not mean conor is a bigger draw. you could put conor in his sport against whoever the 2nd best in his class is and the numbers won't match for any b+ boxer Floyd would fight he threw berto a bone to get him his highest paycheck, but if he was to fight canelo again canelo would be getting significantly less then Floyd and his numbers just did better then conors Floyd is the draw it's no way around that especially in a boxing ring
lol floyd is the A side come on man idc what the numbers are if floyd fights anyone decent if he fights pac again hes getting 100 million again floyd and conor should not make the same amount of money dont be a hater think logically about this folks
Dana White wants to be a star soooooooooooo bad it's sad
He is you are sad… for some reason
No one else could do what Dana does, and, because he is so good at just that he is a star. Within those circles. Outside of those circles, no, I don't think Dana's really interested.
he does it so that the young girls could type in his name online and be impressed..he's a star to poor beautiful women who need his $ only.
Conner isn't worth $25M….and Floyd is still a $100M payday. I know most of us don't like him, but he is worth it.
plus conor days are numbered. They are protecting him like they did ronda for so long. Avoiding putting him up against tough opponents stylistically. Dana said he ruled out Nate 3, even though it was highest ever ppv. He is keeping him away from woodley and khabib. Its only a matter of time b4 he suffers his 4th loss and his stock plummets
ppv buys isn't the issue…….its his paycheck. Floyd doesn't need Conner to make another $35 million. Whats Conner's biggest payday? 10million maybe? Yeah, Conner needs Floyd a lot more.
+Nolan TheCaesar Conor can't even beat a tall skinny Mexican Nate diaz in boxing LOL and he aint no world class boxer by a longshot

datboyjeff I'm against your statement but to each opinion
IF floyd box anyone nobody will watch his running style so you are wrong conor worth more than floyd
Without Conor Floyd doesn't do big numbers. Floyd would need to fight Canelo again or ggg (too risky, won't happen) to get big numbers without Conor. Conor can fight any bum in the UFC and easily sell 1 million ppv's. Floyd needs Conor a lot more than Conor needs Floyd.
In Floyd's last fight he got 34 mil from 350k ppvs, so why doesn't he go fight someone else for 100 mil? Because Conor is the only person that can bring in those views!
This is getting interesting
This is getting interesting
What a joke. Dana trying to get in the equation with an offer like that? Laughable. Floyd could fight any bum and make that.
True. He was making more than that just for showing up(not counting the additional PPV split money on top) from his previous multi fight deal.
He can make the money, but unless its conor, canelo, ggg, no one cares. Conor is the money fight and everyone knows it.
Patrick Bateman wat the point of fighting Conor th if he's only gonna make 25 ..wen he can make that fighting a bum
floyd can make 100 million at least,no matter who he fights.
*Match. Far from any fight especially with floyd
What a joke. Dana trying to get in the equation with an offer like that? Laughable. Floyd could fight any bum and make that.
True. He was making double that just for showing up(not counting the additional PPV split money on top) from his previous multi fight deal. He woulden't get out of bed for $25m.
Here we go!
Here we go!
When will we see this fight?
The fight will never happen.
Never. Floyd is using the media to promote his name and TMT. People think Floyd is dumb but he's actually smart… like Columbo.
if it does happen it will be like the pacquiao fight and it will happen when mcgregor is almost done
Colin Cowherd first of all it's not a "fight" it's a boxing match. If it was a fight Floyd would shut his fatass mouth cause he know conor wuld poop on his chest
DMaster81 NO Conor is young it's going to happen when Floyd is 40-41 Yrs old.
Michael Kubil Wtf???lol.
When will we see this fight?
Colin Cowherd I will ask you the same question, do you think it's happening?
sad, and then they take the rest of the money. greed!!

TRANSLATION = we will do anything to not make this fight!! Offering Floyd the same amount as Connor will insult him enough to guarantee the fight never happens; get him back for making us look stupid this week & brain-wash our diehard fans into believing Connor is on the same level as Floyd!! = I have NO respect for anyone….even myself, PERIOD!!!
You do realize a big boxing fight involving Conor does wonders for the UFC with the amount of publicity it generates?
way too much money being thrown around in sports..
