as much as i dont agree with the idea of Lesnar making more (let alone 3 times more) then Mir, i do understand why. 90% of the people who watched that p.p.v. tuned in to see Lesnar and didnt really care who he was fighting. i dont see Lesnar renewing his contract for anymore then hes getting now IF he even stays around after his contract is up. i agree fully about the Mayweather thing, i just dont see him making a big impact on MMA in any way, shape, or form.but i would like to see Mr.Money step in and be humbled by someone not even worthy of top ten, someone like Nate Diaz could make Mayweather look foolish by closing in taking it to the ground and submitting him in a minute or two.

as good as a boxer mayweather is i dont think he hands will carry him through an mma match, maybe with the lower ranked fighters, but never with the top ten ranked, he aint used to grappling..etc and aint going to learn the art of it in such a short time, also i have seen many boxers come in to mma bouts before, and they receive a hard leg kick, it hurts them so much that they forget what to do with their hands..another waste of space is brock lesnar..did you know he got paid $250,000 for the frank mir fight and frank only got $80,000..what a ******* liberty..

[...] (which would have been the biggest fight in boxing this year). Want some salt in an open wound? Mayweather may be on his way to UFC (note: thanks to a comment by Jason Peck @ TakeAPeck, I know that boxing and MMA aren’t in [...]

yeah i know what your saying, Mayweather doesnt come across as a true samurai warrior type and he very likely is NOT going to take the plunge in to MMA. BUT unless your Floyd or his Momma dont try and say it not going to happen, it not the most unlikely thing to ever happen. on a side note there is going to be another WWE “superstar” making the move over to MMA, a wrestler named Bobby Lashley has signed a three fight deal with AFL (American Fight League) but forgive me if im not as optimistic about Lashleys chances in MMA as i was for Lesnar lol.

well so what happens? nothing as usual, i think Dana knew this was a flop card and tried to gen more PPV thru an explosive announcement that never existed.. its a tv deal duhhh.. 5 years.. Chuck wont be in MMA in 5 years.. lol so its a deal for network tv most probably…

sometimes when you have millions of dollars built up in the bank you can make choices not based on how much you getting paid. maybe Mayweather wants to prove something to himself for himself, do you think he really NEEDS another 25 million at this point? did you see his presser where he said he bored with boxing and there is nothing left for him in the sport? maybe hes a real fighter who is looking for a real challenge. have you ever competed in a combat sport? i know Mayweather always tries to make good coin for his fights but at some point his money is not going to be able to comfort him anymore, and if he has this voice in his head saying he CANT hang in MMA eating him inside do you think money is going to fix that for him? not every athlete in every sport will pick money over good competition, most fighters start fighting because they love it not because they think there going to get rich from it.

This is probably the worst post ever. Why would a guy pass up a $25 Million payday to fight in the UFC for a million tops? Pull your head out of your ***.
