Comments Thread For: Khabib's Manager Says They Received Huge Offer To Box Mayweather

[whollisboxing]

Why TF would you refuse any payday for 100 million?

I think it's better for him to refuse if his heart is no longer in it. No need to cheat himself or the fans by competing half-heartedly.

Khabib was good but I feel he retired because he was struggling to make 155 and at 170 there are fighters who can match his wrestling like Usman and Covington but he's smart to not take the Floyd fight he is not a true striker and Floyd would probably TKO him in under 4.

Like Mayweather Khabib won’t do something unless he’s 100% sure he’ll win.

Not at all. He promised his mother when his father died he was fighting one more fight and then retiring. He kept his word to his mother and promptly retired. His mother hated seeing him in the sport and with the death of his father he did it for his mother.

He’s far from a rat

hopkins promised his mother he would retire by 40 then fought for another 8 or so years. lmao

As difficult a pill as it is to swallow for most of us (it IS a HUNDRED MILLION dollars lol) in today's day and age especially it's pretty damn cool to see someone stick to their principles for once who could give a **** about money. Unlike Kovalev who sold his soul two months after an absolute war to take that Canelo payday knowing and openly admitting he knew he wouldn't win.

hahahahaha

The fight is dangerous? So they ARE scared of taking that Floyd ass whipping.

[HewJohnson]

Why would he accept? Of course he's going to lose because he's not a boxer... Khabid doesn't need money or Mayweather, so why would he humiliate himself? The same way Mayweather would never go into MMA or even Kickboxing.

That’s where you’re wrong.
If you haven’t noticed, Floyd’s lifestyle far outweighs his current yearly income. And he’s not even 45 yet.

And IF Khabib does that BIG IF you can come right on back here and say something. However you may be waiting for a very long time because if the promise of 100 million isn’t doing it then I think you’re barking up the wrong tree.

No, he retired because of the death of his father and his promise to his mother that his last fight would be his last. His mother asked him to quit and he kept his promise.
