Last week, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier participated in a very public and very personal debate about the $ 500,000 donation that McGregor promised to send to Poirier's Good Fight Foundation. Problem? Poirier revealed on social media that the money was not transferred.
McGregor then told the story from his perspective, saying that the contribution was not provided because the Poirier team did not provide detailed information about the amount of money will be divided. Shortly thereafter, McGregor's impatience was beyond control and he had many insults and announced the game.
Even so, less than 24 hours later, UFC announced the poster of the match. This makes many people doubt that this is merely the game “Tung, people inspired” to warm up the event.
However, Dana White has confirmed that the hatred of both is real. Chairman of UFC said he had a headache when he tried to reconcile between two boxers.
“Oh, yes, yes, the possibility of the game being canceled is huge,” White said in an interview.
“I see some of the conspirators think that it is to help promote the game. Absolutely nothing of them are planned to help promote the competition. I can assure you about that. But in the end, we have finished signing the contract.”
Also according to Dana White, not only Conor McGregor wanted to leave the match, Dustin Poirier himself considered this.
On July 10, Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier will have the opportunity to resolve “debt” and determine who is a really better boxer.
