Comments Thread For: White: McGregor Would Pay Steep Penalty for Fouling Mayweather

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Whether it's instinctual or intentional, if Conor McGregor attempts to do anything other than punch Floyd Mayweather Jr. in their boxing match August 26, he'll pay a steep price. UFC president Dana White acknowledged during a conference call Wednesday night that there is a clause in their contracts that would penalize McGregor heavily if he were to try to elbow, kick, knee or do anything else to Mayweather that would break boxing's unified rules. Mayweather was concerned enough about the possibility of McGregor fouling him that such language was inserted into contracts for this unprecedented showdown between an elite-level boxer and a star mixed martial artist.

Yeah but I wonder if the MMA fighter's instincts will take over at some point

[ShoulderRoll]

Smart move by Floyd to put this in the contract.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

He wouldn't make it out of the arena I can guarantee you that.

[GrandpaBernard]

Dirty fighting is apart of boxing.

Connor has effectively handicapped himself.

[Hatesrats]

Forget about the $$$ Floyd's Goons will bust a cap in Conor's azz before he gets out of the ring.

[GhostofDempsey]

No need for all that, just make sure Kenny Bayless is the ref and Floyd will be protected. Either that or call Joe Cortez out of retirement.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Floyd uses his elbows and forearms just about every fight he's in though.

Good......this is a smart move.

The Circus Fight has gotten more boring with floyd and his coward ways. Kovalev should have implemented this for his fights against Ward.
