According to White, it would make more money than Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather’s crossover bout in 2017.
“The biggest fight of all-time was Mayweather and McGregor, I just think it triples that — Musk-Zuckerberg triples what that did, there’s no limit on what that thing can make,” said White.
Just last month Zuckerberg competed in his first jiu-jitsu competition. And he trained with UFC prospects in the build-up to the match.
Musk has a height advantage and has reportedly had martial arts experience as a child. He trained in judo, Kyokushin karate and taekwondo. And more recently he briefly got some training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
White, being the savvy promoter that he is, began estimating the potential. And claimed the Pay-Per-View (PPV) rate for a Musk-Zuckerberg fight would cost $100 — $20 more than the average UFC PPV.
In the meantime, sportsbooks are splitting the odds on who would be favored to win. with DraftKings choosing Zuckerberg and Bovada choosing Musk.
He said that if this fight happened it would raise “hundreds of millions of dollars for charity.”
