Dana White offers to pony up $50M for Mayweather-McGregor boxing match

UFC president Dana White has officially thrown his hat into the Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor fantasy sweepstakes.

White, during Friday's appearance on The Herd, offered to pay $25 million apiece to Mayweather and McGregor for a presumed boxing match. He said the three parties would discuss pay-per-view splits.

White's offer comes two days after Mayweather said he would pay McGregor a $15 million base purse to meet him in the ring. White referred to the entire situation as "weird," but claimed he is the only person who could make the fight happen, since McGregor is currently under exclusive contract with the UFC.
