MAYWEATHER jr to sign with UFC!!!

[Scott9945]

i will believe it cus domain is sooooooooooo credible as a non completely ******ed mma-hype conducted poster...

It's not like he's the resident MMA troll or anything...

[Domain]

I have to admit, the timing of Dana White and Mayweather's announcements are rather peculiar. Maybe he won't be fighting in UFC, maybe some kind of partnership?

Dana White and mayweather will also promote boxing or something like that??? who knows.

it is getting interesting though.

no its not troll...

I doubt he goes and fights in MMA. Because first of all they would have to pay him ten times as much if not more than the highest paid guy right now. Plus it would take him years to understand the ground game needed to compete at a high level. Maybe some kind of promotional thing, but I doubt actual fighting.

no its not troll...

only cause you are ignorant...MMA is blowing up huge!

it has done what boxing could not do...Tap into the WHITE American Market.

[Samuel F.]

This is ridiculous. Theres no way Floyd is going to MMA. He'll be back boxing soon enough.

... dont u think that Mayweather would go through extensive training?!?!?!

Any amount of training could do within a year for MMA would be almost useless. He could destroy some guys that came offThe Ultimate Fighters but thats about it.

His defense would be about 1,000,000,000x better.

Floyd's defence would be almost null in MMA. Clinching isn't an option because he'd be destroyed there. The should roll definitely would not work either.

[Left Hook Tua]

I agree. He's just saying this to get more money and leverage in negotiations against DLH.

I don't think the UFC can pay Mayweather the amount of money he would want to get paid, the rest of the fighters would be very unhappy.

would it be worth it though? look what having a famous youtube guy did for elite xc?

you know how every guy says the ufc guys have no skill...... how much would it be worth to the ufc for one of their fighters to beat the p4p #1 in boxing?

just playing devil's advocate. but if floyd is really interested how can the ufc not cough up the money? even if it's more than what the fight will make the promotion for mma and ufc would be enormous. don't just think u.s. market either. pride and the other japanese mma orgs paid tons of money to see their mma fighters fight olympic wrestlers (rulon gardner) , sumo wrestlers (akebono) , olympic judokas (yoshida) , boxers (mercer) etc.

LOL @ this thread.

[Flawless]

and your happy about that? you're actually ok with floyd turning his back to boxing to go with MMA? the **** kind of boxing fan are you?

I am pissed as hell. I would see him lose then join MMA. But I understand how it will work out for his benefit.

[samuraba]

It takes alot of training to get where guys like BJ Penn, Fedor Emelianenko, Anderson Silva, Minotauro Noguiera are at, Floyd may have good hands but a traditional boxing stance is almost a hinderence in mma. Standing the way he does he'll get taken down almost at will. Not to mention what happens if floyd gets caught in the clinch and takes those grueling knees to the body. The first time he takes a leg kick will shock the hell out of him, or what does he do when he finds himself on his back, lets face mma is just a completely different world. Why be mediocre at mma, why not stay in boxing and get huge paydays and finish out your career as one of the best of all time?
