Conor McGregor believes he'll walk away with more than $100 MILLION after his fight with Floyd Mayweather ... and says Dana White was just being conservative with his $75 million prediction.

White told us earlier this week he believes McGregor vs. Mayweather WILL happen -- and told Colin Cowherd that Conor should make around $75 mil and Floyd will get around $100 mil.

But Conor just weighed in on social media saying White's numbers are low.

"How's that 75milli make your stomach feel? It's actually 100+ milli if we go by the non conservative numbers the fight will actually do and that's not including my endorsements and business ventures."

He added, "28 years of age. Fresh c*nt. Doubt me now."

Remember, back in November, Conor called his shot -- saying he wanted $100 million for the fight.

Ask, and you might receive ...

There's more ... Conor also released some footage of him giving boxing advice to one of his proteges.

He explained that he's been focused on boxing lately but "make no mistakes, the kicking and grappling aspects, and everything else got to do with unlimited free fighting, is still very much present in my thoughts."

He also suggests that if Floyd bails on their superfight, he could convince Manny Pacquiao to take his place.

"Floyd may crap his jocks after all and if so I will go back to true fighting or just pick another boxer like manny or something. But whatever that's another conversation."

Mayweather vs. McGregor ain't even close to happening ... so says Dana White.

With the UFC honcho recently vowing to try to make it happen, we asked Dana if there's been any movement -- but the answer ain't what we were hoping for.

Then again, we probably shouldn't expect much until after Conor's baby is born -- Dana has previously said they have plans to meet up after McGregor's girlfriend gives birth.

We also talked to White about Ronda Rousey -- and he reminds us that she hasn't officially retired yet.

Russian boxing star Sergey "The Krusher" Kovalev loves him some Vladimir Putin and he's not ashamed of it ... telling TMZ Sports he thinks Putin is the greatest Russian prez EVER.

We got Kovalev out in L.A. and asked him his thoughts on Putin ... who's a pretty polarizing figure these days, with some saying he's a great leader, and others saying he's a threat.

Kovalev definitely is the former ... telling our guy not only does he think Putin is a "good" president, but the best president Russia has ever had.

Legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum has a message for Sergey Kovalev ... stop complaining about American judges, saying officials from the USA are just fine for Kovalev's rematch with Andre Ward.

Sergey's team has asked for "neutral" judges in the June fight ... meaning neither from America nor Russia ... with the implication being Andre got some home cooking in their first fight.

We got Arum out in L.A. and asked about the request ... and he thinks it's a bunch of hogwash, and actually seems a little miffed at the thought judges from 'Murica weren't on the level.

Daniel Cormier says he definitely wants in on the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight ... telling TMZ Sports he'd be cool taking 2nd billing in exchange for "life-changing money."

Of course, the fight would be Cormier vs. Jon Jones -- a rematch that would headline any other card.

Cormier says he hasn't been involved in any talks to appear on the card (probably because the main fight hasn't been made yet) ... but if it comes to fruition, he wants in.

"Any human being that gets part of the Pay-per-view would definitely want to be a part of that," Cormier says, "If you are on a card with Mayweather and McGregor, and me and Jon Jones. It would do ridiculous numbers. You'd get paid."

Regardless if the mega fight happens ... D.C. says there's 1 thing he's gotta do to cap off his career ... beat Jon Jones.

Floyd Mayweather took his rain-makin' abilities from the strip club to the basketball court Thursday night ... and the champ had no problem cashing in.

Floyd posted the video showing off his solid jumper ... knocking down 6 straight shots with ease.

Heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder is being sued by another boxer over a post-fight melee back in February in which Wilder allegedly screamed out, "F*ck your kids."

The man behind the suit is fellow heavyweight fighter Dominic Breazeale -- who fought on the same card as Wilder in Birmingham, Alabama on Feb. 25.

After the boxing matches, Wilder and Breazeale got into it in the lobby of the Westin Hotel -- a violent incident Breazeale claims was started by Wilder and his camp.

In his suit, Breazeale says he was with his wife and kids (ages 5 and 8) when Deontay and his brother, Marcellus, attacked him out of nowhere ... throwing punches, spitting and cussing like crazy people.

Breazeale says his wife begged the Wilders to stop fighting in front of the children to which Deontay replied, "F*ck your kids."

Breazeale says not only was he assaulted and injured in the brawl -- but his kids are emotionally scarred by the incident.

Breazeale says his younger child is afraid for his father's life and repeatedly asked if Deontay and Marcellus are going to kill him.

Andre Ward wants Sergey Kovalev to know he's in for a bad night when they face off in the ring again ... telling TMZ Sports "he's got big problems" come June.

The Champ says he's not fazed by Kovalev threatening to end his career ... and even challenges the Krusher to back up his words.

Ward says Kovalev's words only fuel his drive to dominate the light heavyweight rematch ... and hints there won't be any controversial decision this time around.

Floyd Mayweather called out Adrien Broner right to his face Tuesday night about that crazy diss video he made about the champ ... and in a shocking twist, he totally let Broner off the hook!!!

As we previously reported, Broner called Mayweather a "bitch" (and other offensive names) for backing rising boxing superstar Gervonta "Tank" Davis in his beef with Broner.

FYI, Davis (who's undefeated) is part of The Money Team and says Broner is jealous of his success.

Well, Mayweather went right to Broner last night and told him straight-up -- YOU'RE TRIPPIN'.

Broner backed down in a big way -- and admitted he only made the video in the first place because he thought Floyd was secretly pitting Davis and Broner against each other.

So, Floyd and Broner are friends again ... but Davis still wants to beat AB's ass and told "TMZ Sports" he wants to get a fight on the books for 2018.

Enough talk ... boxing champ Gervonta "Tank" Davis says he's ready shut Adrien Broner's mouth with his fists.

Broner WENT OFF on the undefeated 22-year-old fighter earlier this week in an n-word laden, homophobic tirade ... and even blasted Floyd Mayweather for allowing Tank on The Money Team.

But Tank joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Tuesday night on FS1) and fired back -- saying Broner's hate stems from simple jealously.

"I came up so fast and I'm taking his spotlight," Davis said ... "He fell short."

Davis says Broner was supposed to be the "next Floyd Mayweather" but he fell short and it's killing him.

Meanwhile, Davis is 17-0 and the reigning IBF junior lightweight champ.

Davis says the two are headed for a showdown ... and that sounds great to us!

It's time ... to rumble!!!!!

UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer says if Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather actually happens -- he'd love to do the fight with his famous ring announcer brother, Michael Buffer!!

Of course, you know Michael Buffer for famously busting out his signature catchphrase at some of the biggest boxing matches of all time ... "LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!"

So, if the two sports collide ... why not bring in the best from both sports to fire up the crowd??!

** WARNING: Horrible language, violent threats, and homophobia **

Adrien Broner just reignited his beef with Floyd Mayweather ... calling the Money Man a "bitch," and it's all over his relationship with a rising boxing superstar.

The boxing star is Gervonta "Tank" Davis ... an undefeated champion and member of Mayweather's Money Team who recently called out Broner, demanding a fight with him.

Broner apparently took the challenge as the ultimate sign of disrespect, claiming he and Davis are pals, and alleging Floyd tricked the kid into making the challenge, and he ain't happy.

He also vows to do to Davis what Faizon Love did to that guy at the airport. You know the video.

We warned you, watch at your own risk.

Wanna drive like Floyd Mayweather? If you've got a cool $4 mil you can buy his old 2015 Bugatti ... on eBay!

TMZ Sports has learned the boxer recently sold his 2015 Bugatti Grand Sport Vitesse to the Luxury Auto Collection in Scottsdale, AZ ... which is now offering it up with a $3.95 million price tag.

L.A.C. even created a post on eBay in case any rich people wanna get in an online bidding war over the whip.

The listing says the car has a top speed of 254 mph, with a 0 to 60 time of 2.4 seconds.

"With only 150 Grand Sports built worldwide, this car was one of the last Grand Sports brought to the US this is an extremely rare opportunity to own a piece of automotive and boxing history."

Mayweather also sold his 2011 Bugatti Grand Sport to L.A.C. ... which is on sale for $2.45 mil.

Ex-boxing champ Kelly Pavlik worked out two plea deals in a single day, resolving charges relating to a pellet gun attack from 2015 and allegations of breaking and entering in 2011.

As we previously reported ... the former WBO and WBC middleweight champ was charged with felony assault in 2015 after he shot a guy with a pellet gun.

Prosecutors added the breaking and entering charge stemming from a 2011 incident where he allegedly broke into a foreclosed house and stole piping.

A rep for the Mahoning County Court tells us Pavlik pled guilty to a reduced charge in the gun case on Thursday. He was sentenced to 6 months in jail, but the judge suspended the time.

In the breaking and entering case, he entered a supervised diversion program that will last at least a year. If he successfully completes the program, the charge will be dismissed.

Conor McGregor laced up his gloves and boxing shoes and hit the asphalt in Ireland for a little outdoor training for the Floyd Mayweather fight ... and he looks good.

The UFC star ran through some speed drills with fellow UFC fighter Artem Lobov -- who also happens to train with Conor's coach, John Kavanagh.

Floyd Mayweather has one-up on Superman ... his cape is designer made.

The boxer was pre-gaming in Miami before hitting the clubs with his pal, Adrien Broner -- rocking a Versace robe with a matching blanket he used as a cape.

A short time later, they hopped in a TMT Jeep -- customized with TMT rims.

Inside the club, there was dancing, drinking and ladies.
