Dana White explains why Mayweather vs. McGregor will be ‘the biggest fight ever’

It didn't take long to negotiate the super fight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor because all sides involved realized in a hurry that this bout will be printing money at the box office and on pay-per-view.

UFC president Dana White, Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe and Showtime sports general manager Stephen Espinoza all agreed when speaking on Wednesday that the fight between Mayweather and McGregor will be a lucrative affair for everybody involved.

Now of course, Mayweather has already been involved in the current record holder for combat sports history with his 2015 fight against Manny Pacquiao that sold over four million pay-per-views with a live gate in excess of $72 million.
