Dana White Says Chances Are Low For McGregor Mayweather Fight

Just as Floyd Mayweather got our hopes up saying the long-awaited fight between him and UFC champion Conor McGregor "can happen", UFC President Dana White interjected, crushing all hopes. 

“Here’s what I think the chances are: about the same as me being the backup quarterback for Brady on Sunday,” said White following UFC Fight Night in Denver.

White initially offered both contenders $25 million each to go ahead with the fight but Mayweather laughed it off calling White a "f**king comedian". 

His response could be cause for White's change of heart. 

McGregor chimed in and posted on Instagram not long before the interview with a call out to just about everyone involved.  

I'm so made! Heading to do a Q and A in front of 5000 fans! You read that right. That's more than UFC attendance tonight. And it's on PPV at http://www.notoriouslive.co Fuck the UFC. Fuck Floyd. Fuck boxing. Fuck the WWE. Fuck Hollywood. And fuck you too pay me.

All we can do is continue to wait and speculate as each party adds fuel to the fire surrounding this highly-anticipated fight.
