LOS ANGELES – Dana White believes that the much-hyped superfight between Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor will confound the critics and become the biggest selling pay-per-view event of all time.

While many boxing purists have poured scorn on the matchup, insisting it will be a one-sided dud due to McGregor’s lack of experience in the ring, White has been overwhelmingly encouraged by the publicity the contest has received. “I think we beat the (Manny) Pacquiao fight,” White told reporters on Tuesday, referring to Mayweather’s clash with Manny Pacquiao in 2015
