There’s no love lost between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and UFC President Dana White

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. the UFC.

It’s the story that just won’t die.

For the better part of the last year, the former pound-for-pound best and box office kingpin has been linked to a dream matchup against current UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor.

In the past, Mayweather has praised of his mixed martial arts counterpart’s ability to hype his fights by essentially “stealing his blueprint.” However, he is far less complimentary towards the constant comparisons.

“I commend these guys for using my name,” Mayweather told FightHype.com. “I remember one particular time I was trying to fight every fighter. All the top names at one particular time and every fighter in boxing was ducking and dodging me.”

“All the guys want what Mayweather got. But you didn’t bust your ass like Mayweather. I sacrificed a lot to get where I got.”

But while both fighters have expressed interesting in the booking the fight, UFC President Dana White made it know if any fight were to happen, it would have to go through him.

Too bad Mayweather has never been one to play by someone else’s rules, especially someone he claims is benefiting off the work of his own fighters while keeping them in the low.

“It’s easy for a guy to speak when he’s not in there in a contact sport,” said Mayweather. “It’s easy to get a ton of money off these UFC guys while they’re not really getting paid. And he’s living better than the UFC guys. They say ‘Oh, Floyd is living better than all his fighters,’ well guess what, I was a fighter myself. So I’ll put in the work on both sides.”

White had previously owned nine percent of the UFC, which means he earned an additional $360 million following the sale to WME-IMG.

McGregor (20-3) is set square off against lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 on Nov. 12 in New York City. If he emerges victories he will become the first fighter in UFC history to hold two belts in two separate division at the same time.
