UFC boss offers Mayweather $25 million to fight Conor McGregor but the boxer declined

UFC president, Dana White has taken the bull by the horns and offered Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor $25 million each to step in the ring, but it appears the sum is not enough to tempt the self-styled 'money man' Mayweather out of retirement.
White on Friday said:

'I'll tell you what Floyd, here's a real offer and I'm the guy that can actually make the offer and I'm actually making a real offer'. 'We pay you $25 million, we'll pay Conor $25 million and then we'll talk about pay-per-view at a certain number. There's a real offer.' 
A TMZ journalist caught up with Mayweather to get his view on the offer but the boxer was dismissive, choosing instead to show off his £205K Hublot watch.
Speaking of White, Mayweather said:
'He's a f***ing comedian. Look at this Hublot watch I bought. Do you know how much it costs? Look it up.' 
The boxer has made it clear he commands far more than $25 million.
Earlier last week he said he would fight McGregor for a guaranteed $100 m while offering the UFC lightweight champion McGregor, $15 m and a share of pay-per-view buys.

Mayweather, who won world titles in five weight divisions, took home earnings in excess of £650 million over his 19-year boxing career, including an estimated £188 million total from his 2015 'Fight of the Century' against Manny Pacquiao.

Victims' group withdraws from child abuse inquiry amid 'botch job' claims

Professor Alexis Jay is the fourth different chairwoman of the inquiry. A group representing 600 victims of sexual abuse has withdrawn from the official inquiry, branding it an "unpalatable circus". The Shirley Oaks Survivors Association says it has lost confidence in the inquiry's leadership, in another major blow to the independent probe. The group represents former residents of children's homes run by Lambeth Council in south London who were abused by paedophiles over several decades. In a strongly-worded statement the group said it believes the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) is a "botch job" and  chair Professor Alexis Jay  is the wrong person to lead it. Their withdrawal of support is yet another disaster for  the crisis-hit inquiry,  which is on its fourth chairwoman in just two years and has seen a number of senior lawyers resign in recent months. The group said: "Our decision to pull out of the IICSA should ha

Doctors in India remove 6-foot tapeworm through man's mouth

According to a report published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, Doctors in India were stunned to remove a tapeworm measuring more than 6 feet through a patient's mouth. Dr. Cyriac Phillips wrote in an email that the 48-year-old man underwent a colonoscopy in 2014 after complaints of "tolerable" abdominal pain that had gone on for two months and test results indicating low hemoglobin concentrations in his blood. While performing the colonoscopy, Phillips discovered part of the worm. "It was an undulating, moving piece of the worm, " he said. After the initial discovery, doctors performed an endoscopy, a procedure using a camera inserted into the patient's stomach to view the intestines. During the procedure, Phillips and his team were able to see images of the lengthy parasite residing in the small intestine. After sedating the man, a team of physicians at the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences Hospital in New Delhi were able to extract
