Floyd Mayweather in MMA?
http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/news?slug=ki-floydmma122207&prov=yhoo&type=lgns
I think if you stick him in Xtreme Couture for a year you’ll have yourself a quality fighter.
I’ve read some about this. The feeling I got is he won’t do it unless he gets paid upwards of 30 mil for a fight like he does in boxing. Lets say he gets a big MMA fight for big money, well who does he fight? I would love to throw Faber at him at 145lbs around the weight Floyd last boxed at. No matter how much MMA training Floyd gets he is so far behind someone like Faber, Griffin, Guida that I don’t think he could catch up in just a year. Also, no one is dumb enough to just go into the ring and stand with Floyd I’m sure. Floyd’s hands are pretty brittle too, he would easily break a hand in those 4oz gloves.
Mayweather rox out loud

i rllly want to c this… i believe that if he were to enter an mma competition hed b on the ground in the first round or w/e. y? because mma is a no technique brawl where as boxing is a long time strategy fight. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

i think it would be a disaster for him and wouldn’t pay a dime for it either.

I am hoping he makes his way into MMA. It will be beautiful watching him get destroyed in the cage for all of those lame fights I paid to watch him in. He will be a crappy fighter. He has no ground game. Ask Houston Alexander how pure strikers with no ground game do in MMA. He will go to a weak orginization where he will be guaranteed victories over lesser opponents. Until he goes to the UFC, he is not a MMA fighter.

Not going to happen.
First, he won’t get paid the way he does in boxing, that reason alone is enough to keep him out.
Second, punching and running doesn’t work in MMA.
Third, Mayweather is a genious at hyping a fight by talking smack, that’s what he’s doing.

doesn’t every body see what mayweather is trying to do lots of boxers do this: mayweather is basically saying right now i’m gonna retire i’m gonna take a break i’m gonna try different things like mma. Mayweather is trying to make it look like hey i might never fight again, but he is. What Mayweather is trying to do is smart hes making every body believe that IF he does fight its going to be his last fight so every body is gonna ppv it. When mayweather has his next fight fans are going to attend the fight because they are going to be thinking this is mayweathers last fight. I bet you mayweathers people and cottos people are talking about a fight right now, i’m sure they will fight at the end of 2008.

I doubt if it takes place.
Maybe to entice Mayweather other than the money, he may offer to fight the Champion on their turf and rematch on his.
He has speed and conditioning but obviously not grappling.
If he could PERFECT the Art of Sprawl and Brawl. He may be unstoppable.
We will see.
