He might want to stay, but no way does UFC allow him out of his contract. But, UFC would NEVER be able to match his boxing money.

If he wins that's like someone winning the lottery Of course there would be a rematch if he won, no other fight could generate half the money that would, then if Floyd won the rematch there would be a 3rd fight then both men's careers would be over and done with. The UFC should hope he loses. They need him to get smashed so he goes running back there with his tail between his legs

LOL, does that mean he'll face Canelo, GGG, Spence, Thurman next? Highly doubt it! This side show is entertaining but let's not get carried away......

I dont want this guy in boxinh after this. If he wins its because of a lucky punch (which won't happen.) He has no chance vs any of the top guys from any weight class he can make.

I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with paulie on this one. Anything less from Floyd is a positive for MMA and Conor.

Floyd in this fight should look like an unstoppable force, if he can't. It's embarrassing to him and the sport of boxing.

"I think the only way Floyd comes out of this fight with positive press is if he absolutely annihilates Conor McGregor. He has to absolutely annihilate him, and he has to absolutely give him no chance of any inkling of a moment in the fight. If Floyd absolutely annihilates McGregor, then Floyd comes out with positive press," Malignaggi said.

Obviously - and Floyd would likely have a hand in promoting/managing him which is why this fights stinks. I put nothing past any of the players involved

Please god no.

They all want Floyd to attack, thought you would be awake up to that by now, Floyd is a defensive genius he only has to completely out class Connor, If he beat him as easy as he beat JMM then that's a FM master class of boxing that is Floyds world, if he stops him icing on the cake but he don't have to annihilate nothing but it wont go the distance.

Floyd cant lose and Floyd cant look to be struggling that's all he has to do for boxing. Win and look good doing it.

This dude is trying to transition into acting and be the next Dwayne Johnson. Don't see him fighting much after this fight either, if at all unless he pulls off a nearly impossible upset.
