It is no secret that money is the main reason to bring the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor match-up from mere hype to reality. But according to Floyd’s uncle Jeff, it is also the main hindrance to its finalization.
Speaking to Helen Yee of Eyes on the Game, Jeff Mayweather revealed the “horrendous” purse split between “The Notorious” and the UFC, who likely be involved if the fight comes to fruition.
“80-20 percent,” Mayweather said. “(Conor) would have to take 20 percent, if he’s allowed to fight. And the one thing is that Dana’s his boss.
