Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Mayweather Would Put Boxing at Risk With UFC Run

[Eff Pandas]

WBC Guy is like 2 weeks from handing in specs on a UFC or MMA WBC boxing title. Just watch.

Mayweather is still the biggest name in boxing. He won't represent boxing if he fights in the UFC, he'll represent himself. If he looks bad it's on him alone.

You are wrong there mate.

Can Mauricio Sulaiman just shut up? He will be the first in line to create a special diamelle encrusted UFC belt for Mayweather.

WBC = Irrelevant. The statement is self-serving - this POS just wants Floyd to come back to boxing for another sanctioning fee.

[Holler]

Can this ****ing prick Sulaiman just shut the hell up...

This. It's just a non stop ******* of nonsense. Please, make it stop.

He won’t, wait and see. The only way he fights in an octagon under MMA rules is if the fight is fixed, I don’t think anyone of his wealth seriously wants to get in a cage for money, he’s proved to be a clever technician not a fighter many times over, so he won’t risk it unless there is some adaption that suits him.

I think you are suggesting I am one of his detractors, I definitely am not, definitely Top 10 if not 5 GOAT in the ring and a smart businessman outside.

By advantage in boxing, I was referring to when he was established, after De La Hoya he cleverly used his negotiating advantage to get the weights he wanted or the gloves or the weigh-in schedule or rehydration. In reality these slim % margins were mostly psychological. Everyone needed his pay dirt so they were always the B side and unlike greats that went before him like Louis and Robinson, Mayweather pulled every lever, not because he needed to, but he could and for me it’s one of the least recognised parts of his game. Not only was he technically superior to other boxers his (and his teams) knowledge of the business was ahead also.

Good post I can repspect your stance. I do disagree about the fixed fight part. Would Floyd jeopardize his entire empire by fixing a fight for one fight? You do know that’s a federal crime right? Nothing gets by the feds.

Which part is he wrong about?

‘Fixed’ is maybe a strong word, let’s say, more theatrical, a la WWE
