Interesting

Ugh.

Kenny here,

I think this is when my mom bought me roller blades but I wanted a power scooter. She told me that I would either have to accept them or she would give the roller blades to my cousin Stephanie. I was worried I might not get anything so I accepted the roller blades.

Lol. The older I'm getting I think my mom just scared me...

The Ultimate Fighting Championship is making an audacious bid to sign a promotional multi-fight deal with Anthony Joshua which could earn the Londoner $500 million (£353 million) and make him the richest British boxer of all time.

That's ridiculous money and a bad investment. I'm all for Joshua coming to the UFC though haha.

 

[Dirge]

Knowing Dana white it's a 353 fight deal, 1 million per fight...

 

[UFCfan91]

I'd prefer to see AJ fight wilder and fury tbh

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

I don't know how this makes sense for either UFC or joshua.

oh i can give you 500 million ways why it makes sense for Joshua.

 

[Rizzo]

Sweet! I can’t wait for the 199.99 PPV card !

UFC wouldn’t pay boxers multi fight contracts.
When they lose their first fight they’ll want to go back to boxing

Lose? Like Mercer against Sylvia...oh right

 

[A.S. Deep]

Don't believe until we get better sources. That said, isn't this what we should want? We should want the best boxers, wrestlers, BJJ guys, Sambo guys, and kickboxers doing MMA.

Even if AJ is only in the UFC for a few fights, MMA is better for it. Because the next HW boxing champ may do 10 MMA fights instead of a few. And then another HW champ fully crosses over to MMA. And then an amazing HW boxing prospect chooses MMA instead of boxing.

Huge if true.

But not true

 

[Londonjitsu]

Telegraph is the jingo nationalist TMZ Fox of Brit journalism. I’d sooner believe The Sun.

OK that's too far

 

[mb2621]

Hearn is probably the best/least corrupt of the major promoters today in boxing and AJ is with him. A crossover fight once a year or so may be interesting and doable.

Make it happen Baldy.

WOW not even fact checking right now but serious?

 

[Thepaintbucket]

They mean Zuffa Boxing and it would be hilarious.

 

[JbModest]

If true, huge.

Huge, true, if.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Is this a boxing match or MMA match??? .

 

[Sjb1888]

What a weird story....

 

[markys00]
