Dana White: Mayweather must fight Khabib in UFC to make $150M

Dana White says the only way Floyd Mayweather Jr. will get his desired nine-figure paycheck from fight Khabib Nurmagomedov is if they square off in the Octagon.

Mayweather told TMZ Sports earlier this week that a potential crossover fight against Nurmagomedov would have to be under his terms, and he's only interested in a boxing match. However, White isn't willing to give into Mayweather's demands.

"The answer is 'no.' He's gonna have to come here and get his ass whoopin'," White told TMZ Sports. "We did that last time. You gotta come here this time.

"Every time he wants to box. You wanna fight? Want to make 150 million? Come over here and get your ass whooped."

Mayweather is scheduled to face Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition fight on Dec. 31. He has also teased a rematch against Manny Pacquiao.
