Floyd Mayweather wants to sign MMA fighters.

[joeychizzle]

Most of the time, when Floyd Mayweather Jr. puts his mind to something, he does it. For now, it seems like his mind is on entering the business world of mixed martial arts in the very near future.

In a recent interview, the undefeated boxer-turned-promoter addressed fighter pay in MMA and how he plans on turning the tide.

“If you want to be treated fair, come over to Mayweather Promotions. We believe in the talent winning. That’s what we believe in,” Mayweather told Fighthype.com. “We believe in treating our boxers and our MMA fighters fair. I want a lot of MMA fighters to get in touch with Mayweather Promotions.”

Mayweather recently received his boxing promoter’s license in the state of Nevada, meaning he can now hold his own events. In addition to boxing, “Money” made it clear that he plans on promoting MMA cards too.

“I look forward to putting on my first MMA show also and having me some MMA champions. Like I said before, Floyd Mayweather loves to think outside the box. We’re not just one-dimensional. We are very versatile and we have an open mind,” Mayweather said. “When I get into the MMA game, I want them to make more money than they’re making, because from what I hear, they’re not being treated fair. Once again, I don’t have nothing to say about nobody. I’m only talking about what I’m here to do. I’m here to treat fighters fair. I’m here to treat MMA fighters fair, and I feel that the talent should win.”

MMA fighters getting paid scraps unless they're top 5, big draws or champs. Will money may force a raise across the board??

the philly shell would work good in MMA, because you can do some nice counter moves off it with elbows, spinning side kicks, spinning back fist etc,

southpaws gonna fukk you up though. lead hooks and front kicks will be a problem. shoulder rolling ain't an viable option either cuz of knees and kicks. but it'll be fascinating to see how floyd deals with this shyt

You transition stances to deal with that, you only shoulder roll when you need to, it's not something thats set in stone

Floyd uses multiple boxing stances in every boxing match

all you have to do is a check the kick a couple times and they will stop doing it, it's all about strategy, people get their legs kick in the classic stance all the time, if you don't check them it doesn't matter what stance your in

mma fans bout to do a triangle choke right into their feelings

All jokes aside if he can get them more money this is good, I've been saying it for the longest on here they deserve more $ the cost of their camps are like 3x what a 9-12 week boxing camp would be.
