Kvällssvepet: Dana White om Mayweather vs. McGregor: ”Not getting close at all”

För en månad sedan uppgav Dana White att han skulle fokusera på att få till en supermatch i boxning mellan Conor McGregor och Floyd Mayweather. Detta som en tjänst för McGregor, då irländaren har ställt upp för UFC ett flertal gånger.

Men nu verkar det som att UFC-presidenten har ändrat sig. Under en nylig intervju på The Herd uppger White att det återstår ett antal hinder för matchen och att man inte alls närmar sig ett datum. Dessutom utesluter inte White att matchen uteblir:

“It’s not getting close at all. I knew that this thing was gonna be a nightmare to get done, if it can even be done. We’ll find out. Obviously, both guys want to fight each other, but what’s the deal? Can the deal be done? That’s the question.”

“It’s not even Mayweather. It’s not even Mayweather. It’s definitely both sides. It’s not just Mayweather, it’s both sides of this thing are gonna be hard to get done. And absolutely, there’s gonna come a point where I’m done [clears his hands]. This isn’t what I do. This isn’t my business and I’m definitely gonna walk away.”

”Sysslar inte med boxning”

Trots att White insisterar på att ha vill få till en match för McGregors skull uppger han att man måste nå en bra deal, då det personligen inte rör honom om matchen blir av eller inte:

“Listen, if it doesn’t work for me personally – either way, it doesn’t matter to me. I know that these two guys want to fight. I’ve said many times I respect Conor and I’d like to do this fight for him, but it’s got to be the right deal. We have to get the right deal done or it’s not going to happen, because at the end of the day, this isn’t what I do, the UFC is what I do, and I should be focusing on that, and not a boxing match that – obviously, a lot of people want to see it, there’s a lot of interest in it, but it’s not really what I do.”

Anderson Silva luftar sina tankar efter att ha dragit sig ur UFC 212.

To say yes when you want to say no is to give more value to others than to ourselves, it is not to put your value in the right place, it is to impose no limits, and that is not to respect yourself .. It is the same as saying that what we feel Is not worth anything, that others can pass over you at will. And they pass, if you permit it, they will pass without mercy, forgetting all that you have conquered through honor and dedication. If we allow it will destroy our values. This is the way to say no. When I do not want something, I simply say no. With no anger or emotion. It is not just a negative. It's our limit. A right that we have to decide what we want or do not do. It is a way to make people respect our value, this is the name of dignity. When we put ourselves sincerely, saying what we feel, we are respected. People like it or not. So if you know your worth, do not let anything destroy it nothing and no one. If you take a $100 and knead it, step on it, throw it on the floor and then dismantle, pick it up, ask someone how much it's worth, smart people will respond that the note is worth $ 100, so no matter how much they step on you, How much they will knead you, your worth no one can change. . Thank you, my people. Kiss in the heart 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 . Anterior em português.

Efter den senaste brutala vinsten är han lätt värd en ny chans. Dock mot någon annan än Artem, då The Korean Superboy känns mer logisk för honom.

Stop fucking about Artem and take the fight ,some1 tag him in this pls #ufcglasgow 💙
