UFC president,
Dana White has taken the bull by the horns and offered Floyd Mayweather and
Conor McGregor $25 million each to step in the ring, but it appears
the sum is
not enough to tempt the self-styled 'money man' Mayweather out of retirement.
White on
Friday said:
'I'll tell you
what Floyd, here's a real offer and I'm the guy that can actually make the
offer and I'm actually making a real offer'. 'We pay you $25 million, we'll pay
Conor $25 million and then we'll talk about pay-per-view at a certain number.
There's a real offer.'
A TMZ
journalist caught up with Mayweather to get his view on the offer but the boxer
was dismissive, choosing instead to show off his £205K Hublot watch.
Speaking of
White, Mayweather said:
'He's a
f***ing comedian. Look at this Hublot watch I bought. Do you know how much it
costs? Look it up.'
The boxer has
made it clear he commands far more than $25 million.
Earlier last
week he said he would fight McGregor for a guaranteed $100 m while offering the
UFC lightweight champion McGregor, $15 m and a share of pay-per-view buys.
Mayweather,
who won world titles in five weight divisions, took home earnings in excess of
£650 million over his 19-year boxing career, including an estimated £188
million total from his 2015 'Fight of the Century' against Manny Pacquiao
