They’re (Endeavor, not UFC) going to establish at least somewhat of a presence in the sport of boxing. Whether that’s buying into an existing entity or not is the only question. They’re talking with Haymon and Hearn over the next couple of months, maybe others. Those are the two they’re most likely to end up associated with. My guess is late 2018 is when they want to begin. They won’t be the industry leader in boxing, nor are they seeking to be, I’d guess. They will be a factor, though, and will provide capital and help improve television deals for whomever they partner with.

bronx7 you have an obsession. What stinking rich retired 40 year old boxer would want to get his head kicked or choked out in MMA for pennies compared to what he usually makes? Calm down bro

Really? Everyone knew Mayweather-Pac would be a rort, but millions forked over their cash to watch it.

Then, everyone knew Mayweather-McGregor would be a rort, but they forked over their cash to watch it too.

And since then, everything to do with Mayweather is hot news - he's still a draw.

Bottom line is, people are paying. Saying nobody wants to see that **** again just simply isn't true.

Look, when I say ''nobody'' I mean forward looking boxing fans. Sure, transient fans will likely buy into more Floyd hype but I don't really want to represent them on a boxing forum. I would hope and expect that long term boxing fans would be repelled by the idea of yet another Floyd comeback, unless it was against a serious opponent (which it wouldn't be).
