Dana White says Floyd Mayweather vs Conor McGregor was a gimmick fight?

Captured in a Reddit post, Dana White stood against the idea that Musk vs Zuckerberg was a gimmick fight. Rather, he suggested that boxing bouts between MMA fighters and boxers, where the former are bound to lose are gimmicks.

“This isn’t a gimmick fight. Gimmick is MMA guys going to Boxing and getting beat. We have seen it already and know how it ends. This is a fight between 2 of the most powerful/ richest guys in the world.”
