It's time to have a serious discussion about this. Floyd's coming and someone will be blessed with a career high payday.
Well, duh. They have to build Mayweather up slowly!A pro that is like 3-0 with a full time job that does not have a strong wrestling or jiu jitsu background.
I'm sure people thought the same thing about Conor fighting Floyd in a ring. Money > Everything in this business.No one, because it will not happen. This is a business play with Paddy Power, so that tons of people go to bid on the fight and bid on other events as well. It is actually quite brilliant guerilla marketing on both Floyd's behalf and Paddy Power.
No, I thought the boxing match would happen, because Conor is not the cherry picker May is, boxing is just one facet of MMA, Conor could only make that money in boxing and he knew he could already bounce back from a loss, as evidenced by the Diaz fight. Mayweather tho, he has never been dominated in a round in boxing, why would he go to real fighting and risk emasculation and embarrassment? Plus, he can make more in boxing than in a cage, so why risk MMA when he can rematch Conor in boxing and get more?I'm sure people thought the same thing about Conor fighting Floyd in a ring. Money > Everything in this business.
Not saying it's a good thing, but I will NOT be shocked when something's announced.
