White said – “That has been going on for 20 years, and it will be going on for the next 20 years. I don’t think you are ever gonna see a scenario where you see a fighter or anybody for that matter saying they are overpaid. And you are always gonna have a certain level of guys that feel like they are being paid enough. You don’t hear guys that actually bring in the revenue complaining about pay like a Conor McGregor.”
