Mayweather: "MMA is for beer drinkers" [Video]

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

yea I was going to say

an mma fight is only 15 minutes

and fedor is fat
lol Mike Brown...sounds like some average joe

I could be wrong, but I don't think Spetnaz has fat people.

Mike Brown. The WEC Featherweight champ. A Howard Davis Jr. Project.

[Cotto Rules]

Floyd is right and wrong at the same time. Boxing requires more skill than ANY other sports and more will but sayin MMA fighters are beer drinkers is ridiculous.

Floyd doesn't know or acts like he doesn't know one thing. MMA fighters are not boxers AT ALL, i mean when you see their horrible boxing skills, you have to be Stevie Wonder to not make that conclusion.

Most of them are decorated Wrestlers and jiujitsu players. At this point if you think judo or wrestling are easy B-level sports you should try it and you'll get your back broken. Wrestling has to be the toughest combat sport after boxing. Guys like Yoshida, Karelin or Cael Sanderson are great athletes. If you can't admit that you're a blind hater.

I agree on the race thing though. Americans love their sport cause in boxing it's all about Blacks(Mosley, Mayweather, Williams, Winky Wright, B-Hop,...), Latinos( Cotto, Marquez, Vazquez,...), or Europeans( Klitschko, Chagaev, Khan, Haye, Sturm, Calzaghe,...).
White americans don't dominate at all in boxing, that's why the white american fanbase choses to leave boxing for MMA where white american guys win fights.

[Cadillac Man]

You're an idiot. You just basically said that only Filipinos root for Pac, only Puerto Ricans root for Cotto, blacks for PBF/Hop/etc. etc.

If you were further off, you wouldn't have even replied to this thread.

ARE U ******ED? I said people identify more with there own ethinic background. When Cotto fought at MSG MOSTLY it all P.R., When Margo fought SMM, mostly Mexicans. So according 2 ur ******ED logic at MSG and Staples there wasn't many Mexicans or P.R.'s it was evenly. Distributed?

Also, Mexicans suck right now. I think Puerto Ricans are well past them, **** even the Asians and Germans are passing them by.

germany dont count though, all their fighters are imported. and im not just talking about the klits krashniqi etc. abraham, sturm, huck.. none of em are really german.

mexicans dont suck eighter. they fell of a little, but theyll be back. those nasty hookers (the punch) will be back.

[QUOTE=them_apples;5721058]boxing matches are almost 40 minutes. they used to be even more. On top of that groundwork allows for resting,[QUOTE]

Try getting up while someone holds you down.

Trying holding someone down while they try to get up. On top of that, try throwing a punch and defend against possible submissions.

There's a lot more going on then "resting".

[AKATheMack]

Guess I should watch more MMA.

[Horus]

The ufc need to have time limits for how long they can lay on the ground...
because that **** is ridiculous how fast them get on the ground and long they just lay on the ground. There is basically no fighting envolve.. Just 2 men laying on the ground half naked trying trying to make the other fighter tire out and quit.

UFC would be a better sport if they stayed on thier feet more and actually fought. instead of roll around on the ground.

[AssasinKing]

I do think Boxing takes more discipline...but i think its harsh to label them all "beer drinkers" you look at people like ... Georges St-Pieere and know how hard he must work...or anderson silva....alot of other fighters aswel....

It just has SOME beer drinkers...

[DiLLiNGER]

Excerpts:

"It takes true skills to be in the sport of boxing, and-and Mixed Martial Art is for beer drinkers, boxing is for everybody. This is-uh, you can't take my shoes off and take my shirt off and just throw me in a cage. You do that with animals [pause] you can't [pause] you don't do that with humans."

"I don't know no fighter in MMA that generated a total revenue in two fights, which only lasted one hour in two fights, generated a total revenue of two hundred and fifty million dollars. They aren't even on my level, at all.

"You must be running eight and nine miles for boxing you must be able to box not five rounds twelve, twelve. And it used to be fifteen... Now that got rounds now they got judges now they got cutmen. So once again MMA stole boxing's whole blue print and run with it."

"Like I said before, in boxing we know who is dominating, black fighters and Hispanic fighters is dominating in this sport. And this is not a racial statement but there's no white fighters in boxing that's dominating. So they had to go to something else and start something new."


I agree with Floyd for the most part on the last quote. Why is Nascar as popular as it is? Because America really loves cars doing laps around a track. Huh?...

i agree with him on most except the racial sh**, no white fighers? what about..kessler,sturm,abraham,klitchkos just to name a few..hasnt joe retired undefeated..floyd has to control himself seriously.

[Horus]

Floyd was wrong for the race comment.
He even knew he was wrong when before he said the comment he prepared it by saying this is not a racist comment...and then he said a racist comment.

It is like when somebody says... "No offense but,..."
Soon as somebody says "no offense" better believe somebody is about to get offended.

Generalities usually never work. especially when it comes to race.
Floyd as a blackman should know this first hand.

FLOYD you need to check yourself.
