Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Mayweather-Khabib Would Do Very Good Business

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaiman believes a potential fight between Floyd Mayweather and UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov would be a huge financial hit. As BoxingScene.com previously reported, UFC president Dana White confirmed on ESPN's "Get Up!" on Thursday that he had met with Mayweather's team members to discuss a potential fight with Khabib.

There is genuine interest for the fight and tonnes of money to be made so why not? Of course you will always have haters but haters and shiat are part of life.

Since Conor came out of the cage to fight Floyd in the ring, how about Floyd show some balls and go into the cage to fight Khabib.

Really Mauricio? Will you knit a nice colorful meaningless belt for the event?

This fat slob has his own agenda. New wack belt $$$$. No shame at all.

This will make the ufc and mma look bad as it shows they send there biggest stars to be sacrificed to mayweather. They will bend over backwards and do what ever the boxer says.

Floyd will feast on their fighters while never setting foot in the octagon this is not a good look for the ufc and Dana better stick to his guns.

Plus I don’t see this fight doing anywhere near the May/mcg fight so they should not risk it.

Ultimately, if everyone is confident that it will make so much $$$ than it will happen. Mayweather needs at least $100, if Dana & Khabib can split $80 million, if everyone becomes convinced it will make enough to pay all that, then it will happen. If not, it won't.

All the haters amaze me. The disparaging, crude, insults hurled at Floyd for fighting McGregor and for possibly Khabib. is ridiculous. If he can get over $100 million for a boxing match against someone who has never boxed, why wouldn't he do it?

What person would honestly say, "No, that would be too easy. I'm gonna have to pass on the $100 million because he's not a real boxer, and I would win too easily." No one is going to say that.

If people are dumb enough to pay see Floyd Mayweather against anyone who has never before boxed... The whole blame really lays with the casual fans who will pay because its freaking Floyd Mayweather against a top MMA fighter.

Mayweather never even said anything, Khabib was all over everything sports for a couple days after his fight with McGregor, and he just mentioned out of nowhere that he wants to fight Floyd! Floyd didn't call out anyone, this guy called him out. If a UFC fighter, calls out Floyd, and enough idiots will pay so that Floyd is guaranteed $100 million, why would he not do it?

honestly I think mayweather in his team where waiting and hoping khabib would say his name. When have you ever seen Ellerbe side by side with someone calling Floyd out smiling ear to ear at that. The whole point of that video of them together was to show it wasn’t **** and that it was consensual.
There trying to pull the he said my name 1st move.

And you say why people get upset with Floyd fighting a mma guy, well the reason is I want to see Floyd fight competitive fights that I don’t mind paying for. He doesn’t have to face someone young like Canelo but manny is in his age bracket I won’t mind shelling out money for that but for someone 50-0 fighting someone 0-0 that’s where fans get upset.

Since Conor came out of the cage to fight Floyd in the ring, how about Floyd show some balls and go into the cage to fight Khabib.

I think the reason is because Floyd has no reason to. The man made nearly half a BILLION dollars for two fights.

While Floyd is out living the retired life, this Khabib is all over the news, and then calls out Floyd. Why would Floyd insist it be an mma fight? Khabib called out Floyd, and Floyd said ok. Floyd knows he would get destroyed in an MMA fight and there is no incentive at all for Floyd to get in the octagon. If Floyd was calling out Khabib, you would make sense. Someone challenged Floyd to a boxing match, and Floyd said okay.

[MisanthropicNY]

Move on. Floyd will never agree to more than a boxing match. Hell, Floyd will not even fight outside of Vegas where he has the commission ready to handicap a fighter like they did Pacquiao with the shoulder injection. Funny thing is even NSAC knew that IV was fishy with USADA. People act like that was the only Floyd has taken lol. The biggest thing that exposed Floyd as a cheat was that he didn't get the IV done in a hospital. He was prepared to have it administered right at home - just like Lance Armstrong.

Armstrong beat Olympic testing every single time with a simple IV before the testing. How easy do you think it was for Floyd?

Floyd would even IV against Khabib though in a boxing match - that's the sad part.
