Comments Thread For: White is Firm on Mayweather-Khabib: Floyd Must Come To UFC

[Blond Beast]

Mayweather is the one begging for a fight and keeps calling so Khabib can call the shots and insist for the fight to be the Octagon because Mayweather already said: "any comeback fight 'has to be in the octagon'. Floyd should have kept his mouth shut. Khabib and Dana will make Mayweather stew in his juices.

How much cut of the profits did Connor make against Khabib compared to the cut against Floyd? It’s the opposite of fair that Connor gets $70 million to fight Floyd in boxing, and that Khabib has to fight Floyd in the octagon for chump change, and will never happen. Who cares what Floyd said. Dana said he can do boxing better than anyone. How’d that go? The only person being forced to stew is Khabib, and that sucks cause he will fight anyone, especially in boxing if that pays him more than he could ever dream in mma.

White doesn't know May by now ? May does want he wants.

No, Khabib is the one in control and HE and DANA are calling the shots. And his team has all the messages that Floyd has been sending them; Floyd is begging, not them. Floyd has been informed that it will be in the Octagon or Floyd can take a hike. That is how it stands and right now they are standing on principle unless Dana and Khabib change their stance. Octagon or no fight, that is where it stands as of this writing.

Under “Principle” and precedent Khabib should be allowed to box Floyd and make an insane amount of money like Connor was allowed to. Dana owns Khabib, and he’s calling the shot he wants. What do u think would be more competive? Boxing match? Or the best wrestler in in mma fighting a guy who has never kicked or wrestled in his life? Did u enjoy couture vs Toney? U can hate Floyd and want to see him get beat up. Connor boxed Floyd and made millions as underdog. If u think Khabib is only willing to fight Floyd in mma as the huge favourite than ur calling khabib a b*tch. Not even willing to do what Connor did? As it stands it’s up to Dana. How much do u think Dana would charge Khabib to buy out his contract? Now imagine how much Khabib would have made compared to that figure? Connor got to box Floyd so on principle khabib has to mma Floyd? Ouch.

Khabib needs to fight Ferguson in the UFC, **** Floyd.

The point flew right over your head. The principle is that a star from the UFC already fought a boxing star in the boxing ring and now it's time for the boxing star to meet a UFC star in the Octagon. Simple! White already said “If Mayweather wants to fight, come fight. Come fight in the UFC. We’re not boxing again. We did that once, that’s over. You want to fight, come fight here.”

Go complain to White if it chaps your a$$. Even Mayweather talked about a UFC fight and planned to train for it:

The 41-year-old former pound-for-pound king spoke with TMZ Sports in Los Angeles and confirmed that recent comments from UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley that the two were set to begin training were true.

"I'm going to start soon, we have been texting back and forth," Mayweather said. "We talked a couple times and we are going to start working out real soon."

Asked how he would deal with the kicking aspect of the sport, Mayweather say it would be difficult to adjust but that "it is what it is." He also estimated he would need 6-8 months of training to prepare correctly.

One thing Mayweather doesn't seem worried about is the prospect of fighting on the ground.

"It doesn't matter, I can wrestle. My wrestling game is not that bad," Mayweather said. "On a scale from 1-10, I would say it's probably a seven and we can get it up to like a nine, if possible. Of course my hand game, on a scale from 1-10, is 100. The kicking game on a scale from 1-10 is probably a four, so we will have to tweak a few things to take things to that next level.

"I can't overlook or knock any MMA guy. Tyron is an unbelievable fighter and a tough competitor. Conor McGregor, he's a tough competitor and a hell of a fighter. There are a lot of tough, rugged guys out there in MMA and I can't overlook those guys."

Toney fought Coulture in MMA right? How awesome was that? So why wasent that fight mentioned a pile of times justifying how on principle Connor got to box Floyd? Dana says we tried mma guy boxing, it’s was done now it’s over. Well why not say we tried boxer in mma and it’s done it’s over? Cause that happened. What have u seen that makes u believe there’s principles in prize fighting? How could u ever use the word simple? Do u believe what Floyd says? U quote him like u do. Look all the other Floyd fights that happened. U can bury me when Floyd fights in mma. I’ll deserve it.

I'm not interested in MMA/Boxing bygone era sht like Mercer. I'm talking about the current situation and involvements and Floyd is a Prima Donna bag of wind and until he announces an MMA fight, Dana already told him where to stick it. If it wasn't about principles, Dana and Khabib would have already been suckers and signed to fight Floyd, giving floyd his ***ed up ego massage. The shoe is on the other foot now. Unless that changes, it is what it is. It's pointless going in circles over this and you need to learn to use the quote feature because I keep having to correct your mistakes. Here, you can contact Dana and express your sorrows this way: https://twitter.com/danawhite

I dont think Khabib and Dana will agree to anything less than full UFC rules which is only fair because Conor agreed to follow boxing rules against Floyd.

Ding Ding Ding, he won't let Floyd get a free ride this time. If he wants that payday he is gonna take an L for it. (Not that it matters since it will be sanctioned as an MMA fight so PBf will still be an undefeated boxer).

Problem is not if Floyd can wrestler or not its WHO he is wrestling against. Khabib is a beast when it comes to wrestling period.
