Floyds name was dropped in MMA in regards to Dana wanting Sean Sherk to fight him. This was 2007 or so and in a way he is right. He is like this elusive fighter that MMA fighters love to talk about and disparage because they do envy the fact that he makes shit load of money even though he has no grappling skills and yet he has succeeded greatly in his chosen combat sports.
MMA fighters and promoters alike would love to be part of that Mayweather success and for a good reason and that is, they know they can beat him which is true and so if they do beat him, they will be able to raise their profile and become a super star overnight.
Had the Sean Sherk fight happened, Sherk would have won and Sean would be an MMA superstar even to this day, he would be the biggest face of UFC and it would have been a truly historical event.
While in reality, Sean is only known for being the hero of time...
