'Mind your own business,' Mayweather Jr. manager tells UFC's Dana White


Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s manager Leonard Ellerbe blasted UFC president Dana White in response to comments White made regarding Mayweather which aired Tuesday (Wednesday, PHL time) during a UFC broadcast.   Ellerbe told Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole that White "needs to shut the [expletive] up and mind his own business, stay in his own lane and keep on taking advantage of the UFC fighters, while underpaying them.   If he keeps on running his mouth, we may decide to give a free seminar to all of the UFC fighters on how the pay-per-view revenue should be distributed. This is typical Dana, who is always prone to ignorant outbursts. He should be the last person to try to judge someone else."   On a segment during "UFC Tonight" entitled "Presidential Address," White called Mayweather a racist and urged him to fight Manny Pacquiao with a 50-50 split of the purse.   White quickly responded to Ellerbe, texting Iole back, "We're doing something amazing. We're building a sport while you guys are destroying one."   Majority of the comments found online were strongly in favor of White's position.  - Renee Fopalan/AMD, GMA News
