UFC president Dana White is holding back no punches firing back at Floyd Mayweather Jr for some remarks Mayweather made about the UFC. White had some tough words for Mayweather, Jr. during a UFC media conference call earlier this week. Last week during a press conference to help hype Mayweather’s May 5th battle against Oscar De La Hoya, Mayweather dissed the UFC and specifically UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell. Mayweather wondered if Liddell could hang with a good boxer.
“We should put Liddell against a good heavyweight, under Mayweather Promotions,” Mayweather said last week. “If Chuck wins, then I’ll give him a million dollars out of my own pocket.”
White responded earlier this week, stating: “You know, Floyd Mayweather just came out and said some stupid s— about Chuck Liddell,” White added: “(He said) he’d pay a million dollars if Chuck could hang with a heavyweight boxer. How about if he pays a million dollars to see if a heavyweight boxer can fight MMA with Chuck Liddell? Or, even better, I’ll put up a million dollars of my own money if Floyd Mayweather can sell more than 10 tickets without Oscar De La Hoya.”
