What does Khabib really lose from fighting Floyd?

[SuperNerd]

Life.

Khabib will land punches, he will win rounds.

Brain cells? Maybe, but I don't think Floyd has the power to do much damage, especially at his brittle age and with Khabib's cinder block head.

What he gains:

Experience: He get's a full camp of boxing. We saw how far he came from Iaquinta to Conor. He will become an even better MMA fighter for it.

Legacy: if he pulled off a miracle win he would go down as a combat sports God/Myth. If he loses the fight he's still undefeated in MMA and nobody gives a shit just like they didn't care when Conor lost to him.

Money: He says he fights for legacy but everyone loves money. 50 million paydays sound good.

Fame: 20 million plus instagram followers for a fight of such magnitude.

He is suspended right now in MMA at least until December, and probably longer once he receives his sentence. He wants to fight Mayweather in the interim in Russia.

A lot of fighters say Floyd hits harder than people think. Even if he doesn’t he’ll be able to hit Khabib whenever he wants in the head for 12 rounds, and that kind of damage can take years off a fighter.

As long as he can defend his belt at least once in 2019, than he can do whatever he wants

So this is how you're at 330 posts in a matter of days...

What does Kebob have to lose?......His humility, after saying it's not about the money etc etc. Why else would he even accept a fight like there where he would get schooled and tooled in a matter of minutes?

LoL <Lmaoo>

Floyd will play with him reading and downloading all his technical faults and expose them in clean crisp shots!

We are talking about the Mayweathers here an entire family history a living "Boxing Encyclopedia" ......... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayweather

There is always a punchers chance but remember the "Boxing Rule Sets" they are different from MMA!

Plus no undefeated fighter who cares about his legacy should happily take a loss for any kind of money, even if it's in a different sport.

Khabib has lost a sambo match, his boxing record has nothing to do with mma
