White called Ngannou's boxing fees a myth

UFC CEO Dana White has spoken out about former heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou's boxing fees for the organization.

"Huge fees in boxing are a nonsense that people believe, but it's not true. It's a myth that makes everybody say, 'Oh, let's box,' but boxing doesn't work. Now you need a freakin' Saudi billionaire to put on freakin' fights. And even the Saudi billionaires are sick of the bullshit. I don't care what other people say or what the media says. It doesn't matter to me. We offered Francis more money than he made in boxing. That's a fact because I know the real numbers."
