So rumor is khabib and Floyd is a go

[Eff Pandas]

IF it does happen I would say Dubai. But thats just a wild guess.

I still say Japan with Floyd's comeback fight IF it happens. Dec. 31 is a big date in Japan. And Floyd actually hijacked Mexican boxing holidays so might as well hijack Japanes boxing holidays.

Like I said, I think Khabib thinks he can beat anyone and its NOT about the money.

Personally I thought Khabib was playing around with his remark that made this a story. And I highly highly highly doubt a guy who won't go into a MMA fight at less than like 95% (dude is the king of dropping out of fights) would think he has a chance in hell in a boxing match vs one of the best fighters of the last era of boxing. Although in fairness I wouldn't put it past him to want the money.

But again the problem with Floyd vs Khabib beyond the obvious things people have talked about is you can't trust Khabib to show up for the fight. This cat has fallen out of 5 or 6 major events. And he almost died 18 or so months ago trying to get down to 155. What weight do you think Floyd is gonna fight him at?

The dude lives with his parents and wife and kids in a hut. So Floyd seeing he could make a cash grab and make 90% I think he would grab it. Why not? Easy money.

LMFAO. But yea I think you are more or less right. And if it were to happen now or at some point its a money grab, but its too problematic & unsellable I believe. Like Floyd would have to quadruple up on his own bs cuz Khabib can't sell a fight with his mumbling broken English & his lack of a standup game vs a world class, even if old, fighter.

If anything I'd bet this "big" announcement is a fight for the newly created 165lb UFC belt vs the newly acquired Ben Askren.

I didnt mind the Mcgregor but now it is getting ridiculous.

[Diego Rodriguez]

This probably confirms he needs the money desperately.

Why? Who wouldn’t pass up easy money?

[Diego Rodriguez]

The mcgregor fight was interesting because it was the 1st of its kind plus mcgregor was more of a stand up fighter.

Khabib is a ground fighter at that. This fight does 2.5 mill tops. Not a bad number but it will do no where near as much as they think.

Khabib isn’t as high profile as McGregor. But it would still do big, especially international market.

I got Khabib by KO

Overhand right ova da shoulder roll

Too slick

[Pigeons]

This would be a great fight.

[jmrf4435]

ya right.

And niether guy woulnd make nearly as much because connoer is a cash cow, khabib is not.

[Biolink]

Khabib got a ton of the ****** community behind him so I guess it makes money

[pasawayako]

will they allow floyd to use his special IV?

[The3]

What could be the undercard to this because is in Dubai you maybe get another money fight in there something like a Porter vs Thurman 2
