Everyone has a price. The problem is that Floyd Mayweather's price for a boxing match right now is about on par with about 6-8 UFC PPV's combined payrolls for 2007. At least....if not more. Its a bit like complaining that Mike Tyson won't go fight in the UFC for a million dollars in 1995. Its fucking stupid. If they could pull together the money Floyd wanted they could have him.

So that's the insult, they claim it's spectacle, not sport; they would win without breaking a sweat; and then actually refuse to fight. It's one thing to claim he's the best in the world at boxing... but it's another to claim he WOULD be the best in MMA but then not fight. He's scared shitless, and even if the money were there he still wouldn't do it.

Of course he would. But would it make any business sense whatsoever for Mayweather to go anywhere near MMA for a couple million dollars at the absolute most, when he can continue to make $15 million to $20 million per fight in a different sport in which he happens to be the best in the world? Of course not. Would Floyd Mayweather lose to Urijah Faber by submission in a matter of seconds? Of course he would.

Boxing must be a shady business for these idiots to be runnin off at the mouth more than George Bush and Dana White combined... I am sick of it. Mayweather, if you are so tough, get raped in the poop hole by Urijah Faber in 2.5 seconds!
