Dana White expects Mayweather vs. McGregor to exceed typical UFC pay-per-view price point

Floyd Mayweather will meet Conor McGregor on Aug. 26 in arguably one of the biggest fights of all time if not the most lucrative matchup in combat sports history.

It's impossible to predict the revenue for a fight of this magnitude, but it's possible McGreogr's first professional boxing match will produce the most pay-per-view buys and live gate in history, which would topple Mayweather's previous records for his bout with Manny Pacquiao.

McGregor will lace up 10-ounce gloves as he steps into the ring with Mayweather as the current UFC champion looks to crossover from mixed martial arts into boxing for this huge showdown in Las Vegas.
