A fan seemed to be upset about the absence of details regarding McGregor’s next match:
Dana White recently got called out for the comments he made regarding McGregor’s infamous venture into boxing. White claimed that UFC cut a check to Mayweather – while their involvement was a lot different.
“You didn’t pay Floyd anything. Like I said on Monday, all you did was say, ‘Alright, Conor, we’ll cut a deal with you so you can go out and do this fight on Showtime with Mayweather promotions and all this stuff.’ You didn’t cut Floyd no checks. You didn’t make the deal with Floyd. You were on the other side of the equation.”
Helwani then went on to add: “This is hypocrisy, this is wishy-washyness, this is lies, this is revisionist history. They didn’t make no deal with Floyd. What are you talking about?… If you think they were cutting Floyd a check on August of 2017, I got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.”
