Super lightweight boxing champion Floyd Mayweather is still running his mouth, saying in a recent Yahoo!Sports.com article that, “UFC’s champions can’t handle boxing. That’s why they are in UFC.”
Back in March, floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather more or less dissed UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell, as well as the sport of mixed martial arts.
Well Apparently, he still has more to say on the issue. And, UFC President Dana White not surprisingly has taken the bait, offering to pay Mayweather millions to back up his talk.
Here’s a talk from White:
“I used to talk like Floyd Mayweather when I was involved in boxing. I talked just like him, until I educated myself about this sport. These guys are amazing athletes, Floyd Mayweather is one of the best boxers ever, (and) Sean Sherk will whoop his ass in under two minutes. Any day that Mayweather wants to put his money and his ass where his mouth is, I’m ready. If he wants to step up, let’s do it. I’m willing to put together a fight for Sean Sherk and Floyd Mayweather with numbers that would make sense for Floyd. And I guarantee you he would not accept it. Floyd Mayweather would never fight in the UFC because he would get his head ripped off.“
On May 5, Mayweather steped into the ring with Oscar De La Hoya for what was an enormous payday — somewhere in the range of $20 million.
Put simply, even the top UFC fighters don’t take home that kind of purse on one night … not even close.
Most likely, this is a cunning move on the part of Mayweather to promote his upcoming bout at a time when his sport is literally on the ropes. When i first heard of all the trash talk that was coming out of mayweathers mouth is reallt made me mad. He has absolutely NOTHING on ANY of the fighters in the UFC and probably in MMA. He is nothing but a hooks and jabs boxer and i will say he is an excellent boxer obviosuly the best boxer today however he does'nt compare to any UFC fighter. And when i heard this offer that White put on the table for mayweather it put a smile on my face however the more i began to ponder the situation i realized that it was'nt an intelligent more on his part. Dana White is the president of the UFC he knows that he has the best fighters known to man and he knows that so why take the bait that mayweather put on the table to promote his sport? That is all he his trying to do! And another point why pay mayweather millions of dollars when his own fighters dont get paid anywhere close to that amount. Well mayweather would never agree to a fight with anyone from the UFC and as much as i would like to see it, its probably a good thing he would'nt.
