Dana White erbjöd förra veckan både Conor McGregor och Floyd Mayweather ca 223 miljoner kronor var för att Mayweather ska tacka ja till matchen, men detta var någonting som den pensionerade och obesegrade boxningsmästaren skrattade åt eftersom det är ett för lågt erbjudande.
Floyd berättar här hur han kommer ihåg hur White brukade hänga runt honom och Jeff Mayweather, där han bar väskor åt dem. Mayweather förklarar också hur han brukade tjäna över 30 miljoner dollar under en veckas tid, enbart från marknadsföringen inför matcherna.

The last time I made $25 million – actually I made more – but the last time I made $25 million was 10 years ago. I’m not bragging or boasting I’m just telling the truth. I’m appreciative and thankful, $25 million is still great money. But for the last, I don’t know how many years, my guaranteed lowest was like, 32, a little bit over 32 [million dollars]. In the ‘Canelo’ [Alvarez] fight I made over $100 million in that fight and just in two fights, [Manny] Pacquiao and Canelo, those two fights, somewhere upwards of $400 million. $400 million or better. Sponsorship money leading up to the Pacquiao fight, that week I made 25 to 30 million [dollars]. So these are my numbers. They can say, ‘Floyd’s lying’ all they want to. If I was so desperate and hurting for money I would come back.
I don’t want to talk to Dana White. Remember, Dana White, he was a player he was a boss but he was a small boss. The big bosses were the Fertittas. But then the Fertitta’s chose to sell the UFC so Dana is just an employee. Dana White – I like Dana White, I don’t have anything against him – but I can remember Dana White used to hang around me and Jeff Mayweather and carry my bags.
Dana White, I remember when you used to carry my bags. And remember, Dana White, I showed you love. You had the little Bullenbeisser [White’s former apparel company] patch I wore on my trunks for you, Dana. I’ve always been good to you. But then all of the sudden he cut his head bald and he’s such a tough guy. He’s such a tough guy.
