Los Angeles: The possibility of a duel between boxer Floyd Mayweather and mixed martial arts star Conor McGregor got another boost Friday as Ultimate Fighting Championship boss Dana White said he’d pay each $25 million to meet. In addition to $25 million apiece, White said, each fighter would get a cut of pay-per-view proceeds. “Conor McGregor is his money fight. Tell you what, Floyd, here’s a real offer _ and I’m the guy who can make the offer _ we’ll pay you $25 million and Conor $25 million.”White scoffed at Mayweather’s claim this week that he’d offered McGregor $15 million to climb into the ring with him. My number is a guaranteed $100 million,” he said, adding that he considered himself the “A-side” of the promotion.
