Sharpe: Conor McGregor can now demand $25 million per UFC fight after Dana White’s offer to fight Floyd Mayweather

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White recently stated that he’d be willing to offer Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather $25 million each to make the fight between the two mega stars happen, since $15 million just wasn’t enough for his star fighter. That was a bad move, according to Shannon Sharpe, who declared during a recent edition of "Skip and Shannon: Undisputed" (via FOX Sports) that in doing so, White gave "Notorious" so much leverage that he won’t be able to get his biggest star to compete for anything less than $25 million moving forward.
