Bull crap, bull crap. may weather is not the best or hardest puncher in the world boxers wear big pillows on there hands and it takes 50 punches to the head before a boxer goes down, hence the reason boxers are more at risk for brain damage. There are a whole bunch of fighters in the UFC who will out puch May weather any day of the week, including Chuck Liddell.

[quote post="4299"]IN OTHER WORDS: MAYWEATHER DOESN’T KNOW SHIT ABOUT MMA!!!![/quote]

Trues, but as I’ve said – his ignorance is about as obvious as his arrogance. These two things will come back to bite him on his ass if he should try and get involved in MMA. He may know a lot about boxing, and I’m not contesting that, but if he wanted a challenge that would be less painful, he should try Mad Libs.

[quote comment="244178"]It would be easy to dismiss Floyd Mayweather, jr. as a greasy maladjusted, ignorant little footnote of a man. On the other hand, it would also be easy to laud him as a celebrated and justifiably decorated boxer. Aside from my personal dislike of him which is considerable I’m surprised that so far precious few people here or on other MMA blogs have commented on a rather obvious fact about this noisy bitch – he’s incredibly close-minded.

His opinions of MMA are so limited as to grossly and adversely affect any outcome of his involvement with MMA. It doesn’t matter if he thinks his reputation as a boxer will carry over as a selling point if he choses to lend his name to a chain of training facilities. It doesn’t matter if he’s fighting Kenny Florian or Kenny Loggins. He will either lose like a bitch or start acting like a raghing asshole.

Anybody involved in Mixed Martial Arts as a fan or as an active participant cannot afford to underestimate their opponents, how they train, or what disciplines they follow. If you don’t have respect for other styles or your opponents, you’re gonna go out like the bitch some of us knew you were, and all of us suspected you were. I’d like to think that Mayweather can learn something from any real experience he has with MMA, but then I’d like to believe the Dodgers are gonna come home to Brooklyn.[/quote]

[quote comment="243954"][quote comment="242057"]If that goes down it could be devastating to boxing, but I can’t see Mayweather taking a huge risk by fighting in MMA. He’s mastered boxing but would be an infant in MMA. For a guy who’s ego is half the size of the state of Texas, I can’t really see him putting himself in a position where he could be easily humiliated.[/quote]

FLOYD MAYWEATHER, just truly doesn’t understand MMA or grapplers one bit, that’s why he talks so much ’shit’.. once he gets into some MMA training.. all of a sudden he’s going to realize that he actually ‘doesn’t know shit’ about MMA.’ And he’ll get his ass kicked. He’ll either change his tune or “Shut the Fuck Up”… either way, he’ll never step into an MMA fighter with a quality opponent… and probably not at all…[/quote]

Like the goldboy and Sugar Shane..I see him being the box coach..if he wanted to do MMA with his name being what it is…30yrs old..no wrestlting..no BJJ..no MMA..No Muay thai..I donÃ‚Â´t see him with TApout shorts and 4oz gloves..ready to fight KenFLo.

I would love to point out K-Flo to that meat-head Mayweather and say “You see that guy that looks like an accountant? He could kick your ass.”.
All I know about Mayflower is what I saw on that HBO special before the LaHoya fight. He represents everything wrong with the sport of boxing. And why it will die.

COMMENTS FROM FLOYD MAYWEATHER:

“UFC’s champions can’t handle boxing. That’s why they are in UFC.” Mayweather said Tuesday from Las Vegas during a break in training. “Put one of our guys in UFC and he’d be the champion. Any good fighter, he’d straight knock them out.”

“Take Chuck Liddell, Put him in the ring with a (boxer) who is just 10-0 and Chuck Liddell would get punished. Come on, man. What’d you think? Am I just 10-0? Boxing is an art, UFC is a fad. Anyone can put a tattoo on their head and get in a street fight.”

[quote comment="243830"][quote post="4299"]How will the topUFC-MMa fighters feel when Pretty Boy gets a MMA pay day of a sweet 30million when Rampage and the Gsp`s a getting a half to a million tops. That sitr things up I`m sure..if he trains a guts cool..if he step into a cage..I hope he gets a killa..to get his dose of reality to the elements of fighting not just the boxing. [/quote]
It could kill the sport. Paying MMA fighters 10, 20, 30 million. “How well can you eat.” – Tom Hanks
How hungry would they be if they made that kind of money. How many people think Huerta would fight 5 times in one year. Not to say that he should fight 5, but champs would only fight maybe once a year if they were making that kind of money. Each weight class would have to be moved up at least 10 pounds because… have you seen the way the TUF guys eat on the show when the food is in their face. Imagine what they’d eat if they had millions. Don’t get me wrong, I think the champs deserve a million dollars, and the top contenders deserve six figures… but if they start making boxing money, I think MMA could go down the toilet the way boxing has. Then it’s all about the money, and not about the competition.[/quote]

I see your point.

[quote comment="243834"]Mayweather vs. K-Flo… would be over early 1st round with Mayweather tapping. Let it be the first co-promotional fight between UFC and HDNET with Cuban paying 10 million to the losing Mayweather and Dana paying K-Flo 25 thousand for the fight, 25 thousand for the win, and 25 thousand for the submission of the night for a grand total of 75 thousand… less than 1/100th of what Cuban pays Mayweather.[/quote]

MMA is crazy. With the UFC brand…pride getting wiped out..mainstreamisim..TUF..Dana..WEC..IFL..BoDoggies..2006 UFC PPV numbers..Randy..Fedor..M1..spike..vs..etc..it`s alive..and changing. where and will it be ??
