This week, undefeated boxing icon Floyd Mayweather made UFC superstar Conor McGregor an offer to step into the ring with him for a boxing match. Mayweather offered McGregor $15 million, and left the door open to discuss Conor McGregor getting a cut of the match’s Pay-Per View sales.
Friday afternoon, during an appearance on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, UFC President Dana White countered Mayweather’s offer to McGregor:
BREAKING: @danawhite makes a REAL OFFER to @FloydMayweather for a fight vs. Conor McGregor:
$25 million for each and negotiate PPV split

While there has been no word from Mayweather yet, the offer from White likely won’t sit too well with the undefeated prizefighter, who has stated on multiple occasions that he will not fight for less than $100 million.
Stay tuned for updates as they become available.
