Lance Pugmire, LA Times boxing and UFC reporter told Radio 5 Live
how White will pay the pair of fighters $25 million each (£20.5 million)
to face each other this summer.
He said: “Mayweather clearly believes he is the A side and
rightfully so, I believe he is 49 and 0 and has dominated so many great
opponents that he has fought throughout his career, so he’s going to
want more money than that.
“But the fact that Floyd has come out today and said I’m
un-retiring to fight Conor McGregor is something that should move the
needle.”
