:bart :verysad :-( Floyd Mayweather Jr., the world's No. 1 boxer, is strongly considering a revolutionary jump to mixed martial arts under a deal being discussed with Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.
Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser and best friend, told ESPN.com Friday night that the five-division world champion, who generated 3.25 million pay-per-view buys and more than $200 million in revenue in two mega fights in 2007, came away from a Thursday meeting with Cuban giving serious thought to taking his game and considerable drawing power to MMA.

Mark Cuban on Floyd Mayweather's possible jump to MMA: "He wants to go on to the next big thing."



"It's definitely something he is interested in, and when Floyd makes his move, obviously it's going to be a mega event," Ellerbe said. "We don't have a timetable. Floyd is taking some time off, but Floyd understands what is involved. You have to take time to go out and understand what you're getting involved in, and he's ready to do that. But it's something he's definitely interested in doing.
"Mark Cuban is a very successful business man and has some very, very successful business ventures that we've discussed. We're looking to do a lot of business with Mark. He's a great guy, and we had a great meeting. Doing an MMA event with him is most definitely something we are looking at, among many things we are looking at doing with Mark Cuban."
Mayweather's interest in participating in an MMA event was sparked after he struck up a friendship with Cuban during their participation this season as contestants on the ABC reality series "Dancing with the Stars."
Cuban was Mayweather's guest at the fight and even carried two of his championship belts into the ring before he knocked out England's Ricky Hatton to retain the welterweight world championship Dec. 8 in Las Vegas.
Mayweather and Cuban were together again Thursday in Las Vegas, where they met to discuss various business ventures, including Mayweather participating in an MMA event.
A few boxers, such as former heavyweight contenders Ray Mercer and Frans Botha, have attempted to compete in mixed martial arts with little success. Mayweather's entrance would bring it to another level, especially at a time when the sports have been pitted against each other by fans and media -- MMA as the hotshot newcomer trying to overtake the century-old, more traditional sweet science.
One of Cuban's many business interests is ownership of HDNet Fights, a fledgling mixed martial arts promotional company whose bouts are aired on Cuban's HDNet. Cuban promoted his second event Dec. 15 in Dallas.
"Floyd is considering fighting with HDNet Fights," Cuban told ESPN.com. "We are going to let him visit some gyms to talk to some folks about what it would take to learn. He knows it won't be easy. But he is getting involved with MMA and HDNet Fights one way or another. He is pumped about it. He wants to go on to the next big thing. Floyd is a brilliant marketer. He follows the money."
Indeed, Mayweather, like Cuban, knows how to make money. Mayweather, 30, won the year's two biggest fights, a decision against Oscar De La Hoya in May in a fight that shattered all boxing revenue records and a 10th-round knockout of Hatton that did 850,000 buys and $47 million in television revenue on HBO PPV.
Mayweather-De La Hoya, with 2.4 million buys, set the all-time PPV record. Mayweather-Hatton was the biggest PPV fight in history not involving De La Hoya or heavyweights Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.
Mayweather earned about $50 million for the two fights.
"If I said there's a guaranteed $30 million payday, Floyd would be lacing them up," Cuban said, optimistic that Mayweather would eventually participate in an MMA match. "If not, I could see him working to train and develop and invest in MMA fighters, knowing the upside. He can teach them how to be a better boxer and add to their other skills."
After each of his last three fights, Mayweather has talked about retirement or, at least, an extended break. Ellerbe said Mayweather is on vacation now but that when he returns, they'll discuss the prospect of an MMA bout in more detail.
"Floyd is about taking on challenges," Ellerbe said. "This ain't some kind of prank. That is one of many things we've talked about with Mark. Floyd would have to take time to really understand it, but it is most definitely something he is interested in.":-( :patsch :nut :verysad :bart

uuuh... learn...


mayweather is smart as hell and no matter what you guys THINK... he CAN fight. you dont become a p4p champion in boxing and undefeated, beating guys like hatton, castillo, corrales, chavez, hoya, ect, ect, ect if you cant FIGHT.

he CHOOSES to use his skills..... that doesnt mean he CANT fight.






to the point of this thread.... if he does this i dont know what i will think of him. This is a time where he should be helping boxing take back the face of combat sports like he HAS been doing this year. Its been mainly because of him and 24/7 that boxing is heading BACK to the mainstream this year.... he could build upon that.

He is a boxer.... not a grabber, holder, wrestler.... and hes not the best crossover fighter that we would have, meaning, i think guys like Wlad, Mormeck, Haye, JC, Williams, Pac, Rafa Marquez ect, would do better in mma for various reasons... to me they seem more NATURAL fighters as to where floyd relies heavily on his boxing skills and defense. obviously like i said he would learn quickly im sure but it wouldnt look good to have our #1 boxer go over and get beat no matter HOW close or to WHO.... the public and mma fans wouldnt care they would just use it as their platform.

also i hate mayweather giving mma any publicity at all... and leaving boxing... i just dont like the whole thing.

Floyd is one guy that could actually hold his own for while b/c of his speed and balance. It is hard to get floyd to the ground unlike a typical boxer. He also can fight backing up. But if one of those clown ass MMA guys does that crazy pyscho tackle they do then I dont think floyd could hold his own with the grappling.

Why not let floyd make a mockery of MMA as well?:huh

Its bad enough he doesnt face all the challenges in the sport of boxing? Why not let him talk a lot of shit, make a lot of money, and NEVER fight the top MMA guys:yep :rofl

I fucking HATE Floyd Mayweather JR. This guy is a clown of the highest magnitude. I mean when he should be looking to take two more fights and then continue PROMOTING BOXING which he has already chosen to do, he wants to TALK andFIGHT MMA??:-( :-( :-(

This is pretty fucking hilarious because Floyd is the ultimate BOXER, he's not a banger or inside fighter:nono Insisde fighting and the ground game are at least 75% of MMA and suddenly he's game?:lol: Nah, I say he'll fleece MMA fans, just as he has done in Boxing. He'll become THE ULTIMATE TRAITOR in my eyes!! Why? Because he's not a boxer who's time is past and wants to try something different, he's an elite guy at the top of his game and after all the BS between the sports he wants to go there???


Floyd "Benedcit Arnold" Mayweather....GO F$%K YA SELF!!!

floyd is so talented that as long as he is not ignorant about what he is getting himself into then he can do well in mma. i can imagine him having explosive strikes, and being good at grappling. however im not too sure weather floyd is gonna enter mma, this may be a publicity stunt, only God knows.

the thing is, if he had the mentality of a proper fighter then he would be VERY good cos of his talent, however he doesnt really like to fight, so i wont buy this until the dotted lines get signed!

Why not let floyd make a mockery of MMA as well?

Are you saying he made a mockery out of boxing? By making it its most profitable year in history?

Its bad enough he doesnt face all the challenges in the sport of boxing?

6 belts. 5 weight classes . Something like 12 wins against former or current world champions. Wait what was that? Oh yeah Nuff Said.

This is pretty fucking hilarious because Floyd is the ultimate BOXER, he's not a banger or inside fighter

See now you just proved to everyone you dont know shit about Floyd Mayweather or boxing. BEcause if you did you'd know Floyd has an excellent inside game, as displayed against Hatton.

We know you hate him, thats what haters do, but just realize he will never lose little boy. So keep crying like that bitch Hatton.

Floyd will fight 1 maybe 2 fights against no namers...ko them than back to boxing...

I wonder how far Mayweather could go in MMA if he really trained for it. I think if he got an amazing BBJ trainer and an amazing wrestling trainer and threw in some muay thai practice as well, he could certainly develop quickly and start by taking out some really soft touches. Whether he could go on from there and really compete at top level is less likely - but not to be ruled out.

Some of those bums are actually world class grapplers, BJJ submission experts & seasoned K1 fighters.

How would Floyd defend against takedowns or subs? How would he react to having his head held while a knee was lifted into his face? How would he defend against the ground & pound especially if elbows are allowed?

Floyd's only chance would be standing & striking and even then how much experience does he have defending against kicks?

There only chance would be to bull rush and get him on the ground. Stand toe to toe with him for a second at its over. He has world class speed and is the best boxer in the world. Some scrubby MMA schmuck wouldnt stand a chance. They do that kicking shit they catch a straight right lead, they try that grappling shit they get an uppercut to the jaw. They cant strike him, they cant kick him, so they try and bull rush, check hook into the side of the cage.

Boxing scrubs go to MMA, MMA scrubs dont go to boxing.

If this is true, Floyd can go to hell. Boxing made him the highest paid athlete in the world this year. He should use his momentum to help the sport get back into the mainstream. Right now a fight with Cotto would be the biggest thing in sports besides the SUper Bowl. I don't hate mma, but I love Boxing. If he does this, regardless of the results, he will be remembered as a coward in the Boxing world, not in the class of Ray Leonard, and Ray Robinson. With, Cotto, Margorito, Cintron, and Clottey sitting there, if he leaves Boxing it looks like he is running. De La Hoya and Hatton to me were lambs for PBF, the lions are waiting.

If he wants to go to another fighting sport, then more power to him.

With serious training, I don't see why he couldn't be pretty good at it. He IS a great athelete, afterall.

Heck, Chuck Lidell was known for his striking ability and he always tried to stay standing up. He's a great sprawler and stays on his feet and always tries to just stand up and strike. He is a HORRIBLE striker, yet rose to the championship fighting with this method. Why is it impossible to think that someone who is a MUCH better athelete with much quicker reflexes couldn't also learn to sprawl and avoid take-downs?

Because Chuck Liddell is a big dude who is tough to take down, whereas Floyd would probably get tossed around like a ragdoll...

Look at Floyd's body type. Compare that to the body type of UFC welterweights like Matt Hughes or even their lightweights like Sean Sherk. PBF just doesnt have the physique of a ground fighter.. Floyd would be overpowered and manhandled.

I'd like Mayweather to win in a fight standing up, but's face it... any MMA guy who fights him would immediately go for the takedown. Try to slap an armbar on him, choke him out, or pound him into submission with elbows.. Floyd has trained his whole life to be the p4p best boxer and these MMA dudes have trained their whole life in their wrestling/jiu-jitsu/Muay-thai techniques. To assume Floyd would automatically just learn wrestling and takedown-defense with a few weeks of training is just asinine.

Floyd has too much to lose by making this ballsy move. WILL NEVER HAPPEN. GUARANTEED

The MMA dudes haven't trained their whole lives in jiu-jitsu and martial arts. You act like Sherk spent his childhood living at a dojo in Thailand or something. I don't know about Sherk, but face it most guys maybe took wrestling in high school or something like that, then decided to train in MMA. Some are Olympic wrestlers, and some world class jui-jitsu guys, but most got their skills from training hard in an MMA gym.

I also didn't say he only needed "a few weeks" of training. I clearly said "with serious training".

CUFreeze
12-22-2007, 03:15 PM
Eltorrente- You are right...but those guys DID train extensively in wrestling. That is something that floyd has never done.

Don't kid yourself, if floyd got in there with anyone worth a damn in MMA he would be either brutally beaten, have his arm broken, or get the purple face.

It all adds up to enough to KNOW that you dont know a whole hell of a lot:nono

Yes, Floyd MOCKS the history of Champions!! How many times do I have o school you on the STANDARDS AND DIVISIONS? By todays version SRR could have been 7 weight champion with a possible 42 belts.

C'mon now just three weeks ago he was in the 24/7 series complaining about his injured hand and shoulder and now this GTFO!!!

What he really needs to do is sign the contract to fight Cotto and stop bullshitting!!!!

Thinking that because he made $50 mill in two fights he is going to be rich for the rest of his life. He is out of his fokin mind!!!! Wait until the IRS comes knocking on his doors asking for back taxes. I will like to see what his manager is going to do then....

Who said he is not paying his taxes?

Mayweather is too small to compete at any MMA weight except featherweight, and few people care about featherweights in MMA.

Floyd's boxing style isn't the best suited style for MMA, and there can be almost no doubt about that. Floyd is obviously a very talented athlete, but I can't see him competing at a world class level in MMA. Boxing is too small of a factor. As a 30 year old, it is too late to start the sort of grappling training necessary to compete at an elite level.

Sherk has been proven to be on steroids like the rest of those flagrantly homo sexual unskilled redneck cheaters so don't base his tainted wins or 'strength' on any sort of training apart from daily roid injection into the buttocks.:hey

That's dumb and you know it. Sherk is a disgrace because he took roids, this much is true. But so did James Toney and Tommy Morrison and a bunch of boxers.

I didnt say that MMA really needs Floyd, MMA is obviously doing quite well in North America right now, and will continue to do well with or without floyd. I just said mma needs floyd more than floyd needs mma, and I believe that. Why would Floyd need MMA? He probably made more money this year than the Top 10 highest paid mma athletes combined. He is p4p #1 in boxing, the biggest star in the sport. There is still at least 1 or 2 lucrative fights (far more lucrative than any MMA fight) in boxing for him, before retiring. He has no background in wrestling, muay thai, jiu jitsu. Whats the point of him going to MMA? whats he going to accomplish? Beat up a can, or fight a guy like roidhead Sherk and get laid on for a few rounds or stopped via ground n pound? What does he have to gain from that? Im sure Dana White would love to sign Floyd if Floyd was interested, and he would probably be more than happy to give Floyd more cash than anyone in the UFC, but why would Floyd want to sign with UFC or any MMA org for that matter? Nothing to gain from it.

To do MMA you need a strong amateur wrestling backgound. You need to know how to kick, and you need to know how to grapple once you are on the gound, or you will get man-raped.

To do MMA all you have to do is have been in a few street fights the only difference is you train to street fight...different ways to choke people...different ways to kick people...really doesn't take any skill if you were kicking hard in the street you'll kick hard in the octagon you dominate in MMA by sure luck not skill

Boxing is the developement of hand skill....skill

MMA is street fighting on the grandest stage that's it that's all and its fucking boring and borderline gay especially when you got 2 guys just hugging each other all night fuck outta here!!!!

Some scrubby MMA schmuck wouldnt stand a chance. They do that kicking shit they catch a straight right lead, they try that grappling shit they get an uppercut to the jaw.

Look im seriously laughing at your dumbass :lol: :lol: :lol: No inside game? Did you even watch that Hatton fight or is your poor ass to broke to order it?

Listen, Sugar Ray fought scrubs, mostly white retards that were pulled off the street, Floyd would have slaughtered all of them just as easy if not easier. Its a different world of boxing, scrubs dont get shots at titles, even with all the divisions, you still have to beat SOME comp to claim a title, hell even Calzaghe had to beat somebody.Your just a dumbass you seriously think the 50's had fighters as good as today lol? You really think those bums would last today? Do you know what Floyd would do to Lamotta, do you think Lamotta would catch Floyd with a leaping left like he did Sugar Ray? Check hook, jaw, hit the canvas everytime.

Floyd has won 6 belts 5 weight classes, he beat the top champ in every weight class BUT 154, and OScar was still WBC champ. Your a fool. Stop using smilies and silly ass pictures and actually give a hint like you know anything about boxing.

What happens when Floyd inevitably beats Cotto lol. Do you really think Cotto has a chance? Deep down you know you dont. You know it, just admit it, your just mad you hate the best fighter in the last 20 years. Its like hating the Patriots or the Red Sox, sucks dont it?
\

Floyd sells tickets PERIOD. Top money maker this year, eveyrone wants to see him lose, you know dumbass haters like you. Aint never gonna happen, spend your hard earned money to watch him win and go home cryign lol. 4.5 million PPV buys biatch. 200 mil in revenue biatch. What you gotta say?

What happens when Floyd inevitably beats Cotto lol. Do you really think Cotto has a chance? Deep down you know you dont. You know it, just admit it, your just mad you hate the best fighter in the last 20 years. Its like hating the Patriots or the Red Sox, sucks dont it?
\

Floyd sells tickets PERIOD. Top money maker this year, eveyrone wants to see him lose, you know dumbass haters like you. Aint never gonna happen, spend your hard earned money to watch him win and go home cryign lol. 4.5 million PPV buys biatch. 200 mil in revenue biatch. What you gotta say?

Classic PBF fan MOLD right here:lol:

Look son, you talk out you're ass and ignore the facts so there's reallly no helping ya:nono You know shit about me C and even less about the topic:yep Just FYI, not dropped or stopped(ko) in the ring.

Again, stick you're accomplishments up your ass its not an even projection. The standards were different. SRR would have done much more because he DID MUCH MORE.

Floyd dont sell shit. He never did above 380,000 buys before DLH and DLH and Hatton are two fighters having huge bases. He's the Champ so of course it will sell, because its THE CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT.

Grasp that ITS ABOUT FIGHTING THE BEST, not our opinions. Cotto and Williams have thus far shown to be top contenders. REAL CHAMPIONS DONT WALK AWAY FROM THAT!!

REAL TALK SON!! You go do you're imitation of R Kelly now and bitch about them HATERS!

BTW? Have a Merry Christmas with it:good

Lol. Well Hatton never did ANY ppv buys in the United States before Floyd. Lol NOBODY here knows who he is literally. ODH, NEVER did 2mill plus ppv buys before Floyd. Floyds antics on 24/7 on both fights helped ppv sales and drawn interest to boxing. If you try to dispute that you are being retarded. Grown ass women were talking about 24/7 and Floyd on dancing with the stars and how could a guy that little be a fighter and knock people out. I guarantee Floyds work outside the ring GAINED him new fans. Now he is the biggest draw in boxing next to ODH. He beat Hatton in style and EVERYBODY on EARTH and MARS seen it. I dont know what you are arguing here C.

i'd like to see mayweather show some mma guys how to properly throw punches, especially counters. and he would definitely rape anyone who wanted to trade punches with him BUT. do you think any mma fighter would try to trade with floyd? NO. floyd would probably be unsuccessful in the sport unless he learned some serious ground game.

I would also like to see the effect of mayweather's counters when waering smaller gloves. can someone say cuts.

Floyd would give men blow jobs for the sake of making millions of dollars. This is another publicity stunt, why the fuck would Floyd actually fight in the MMA? So he could break his bridle hands using those 3oz gloves??? He needs to fight Miguel Cotto and just retire after that he can do w/e the fk he wants

He wont do it, and if he did he wouldnt do well against good fighters.

Its a sport he doesn't know how to play.

He would get taken down and beat quickly and easily.

Now, what am I arguing? After what the sport of Boxing has undergone in dealing with MMA with the constantly unprovoked promtional misdealings? For Floyd to manage to not fight all the best opponents in any one division and mock the real accomplishemnts of fighters like SRR and SRL by calling himself the greatest? He's a traitor

and cherry picker extrodinaire if he walks out on 2 maybe 3 more fights at the top of his game in Boxing to go MMA:-( :-( :-(


Hatton, C'mon man, YES FLOYD WON!! JUST LIKE YOU SAID HE WOULD:

But you know that wasnt the only nail to be hit:nono Please dont tell me that Cotto isnt THE CLEAR OPTION:yikes Dont.... please dont, attempt any justification[Only registered and activated users can see links]

Seriously? You know its been obvious that if PBF and Cotto beat hatton, SSM it became what it IS, THE NEXT FIGHT.

As for Floyds numbers? Again, fact is he didnt break what 380,000 two fights AGO!!! He then fought DLH (Yo Pretty, tell me GROWN ASS WOMEN didnt talk more about DLH since what about 96 til PBF??:rofl
Realize that Floyd HAS WON, thats why he's in the top fights, he's the Champ. Honestly? The general public cant stand Floyd:nono He turns em off in droves but he's still THE CHAMP!!! Now what is it that CHAMPIONS are supposed to do, that the GREATEST have always done?Hmmmm........ How bout what Ali, Patterson, and Louis feel about the #1 Why did these guy's fight the best? Hell, none of got paid like lil Floydie. [Only registered and activated users can see links]

I had ignore facts? LMAO! You're the one that said Floyd does have an inside game lol. :lol: :lol:

Seriously im starting to feel bad for you, looks like someone hasnt been taking their meds recently. You didnt even see the fight did you? If you did you'd know Floyd aka P4P king dismantled Hatton on the inside. Infact Cortez probably saved Hatton more of a beating by not letting it go inside more.

Again, stick you're accomplishments up your ass its not an even projection.

He man, you're the one that tried to bring out your failed amature career as a way of proving that you know atleast a little aboutboxing. Sorry you didnt fool anyone.

The standards were different. SRR would have done much more because he DID MUCH MORE.

How are the standards different moron? In sugar rays day you fought any bum off the street, you'd get 2 fights a week against slow ass mostly white bums who couldnt box their way out of a paper bag. Nowadays you are expected to fight big fights. Thats what floyd did in 2007, fought 2 p4p top tens in the same year.2 champions who were the best in their division.

Get over it dude. Floyd is the best. Get off his sack.

Floyd dont sell shit.

Hmmm.. now i'm wondering if we have a new alias?:think You jump in talking shit telling me I dont know anything about boxing while blindly ignoring the factual evidence which concludes the case. Further, there's a little thing called time, and over time? I have a very good prediction% and contributed enough that it out weighs all this shit you're yapping about:yep Perhaps you should go to a local gym and give it a shot yourself. I'm sure when they see that lettermans jacket, theyll cringe and quiver in fear.

Listen If you think INSIDE GAME in BOXING and INSIDE GAME in MMA are the same??

[Only registered and activated users can see links]

THERE IS NO GROUND GAME IN BOXING FUCK FACE:nono

Think Floyd has an INSIDE GAME in MMA??:rofl Even in his OFFENSIVE STYLE isnt really geared one punch power. Sure he might beat a BUM but is he gonna fight the top guy's? If so? He's fucking DONE!! He's getting taken down and hammered or submitting.

You dont love Boxing, you ride floyd's nuts like shell. Ask yourself MORON, If Floyd was to become a promoter in Boxing AS HE STATED? Turning his back on the sport that made him and his legacy makes no sense. :barf But you and them dont think that far:-(

You can huff and pufff and buff floyd's nob all ya like Jr, Guy's like SRR and SRL left better records and accomplishments, If Floyd wants to top that and grow his business empire someone better look at

There are gold medal winners in MMA, so if that is failing at the olympics to you, you just continue to show how stupid you really are.

You keep repeating "check hook" and "lead right" as the answer to every problem (probably because you just learned what they mean) , in reality Floyd might land one or two punches, but he will eventually get picked up and dropped on his head, and then ground into hamburger or give up because his arm is about to be ripped off.

Right now, with Floyds complete lack of any actual training in anything other than boxing he is a complete fish out of water, boxing is maybe 1/6th of MMA at best. Even after a few years Floyd will only be able to beat guys who are primarily strikers.


He is an absolute master at one sport, but even Lance Armstrong would lose to pretty low level Tri-Athletes.
