i'd be shocked if mayweather fought in the UFC. i hope they get some crossover eventually, though, but i think it will come from less established boxers making the crossover if it does happen.

He would get destroyed in the UFC since he has no ground game. He would get taken down and then submitted early first round.

Mayweather would get killed, this is pretty silly.

Typical cocky boxer talk. Dana White is just throwing gas on the fire.

I doubt if he could put together a $15M payday for Mayweather.

Exactly. MMA's biggest star just had a cameo on Entourage. Boxing's biggest just had their own show.

I think he could come up with the money, but if he did, it could lead to the end of the UFC. Seriously, you think guys like Liddell will continue to accept such small paydays???

So? 50% of peanuts is still peanuts. They could never sell enough PPV to make it worth his time.
