Floyd Mayweather – “MMA is for Slow White People who can’t Box”

Floyd Mayweather – “MMA is for Slow White People who can’t Box”

Floyd Mayweather is rumoured to be making his MMA debut in a few months. The name of Conor McGregor has come up as a potential opponent. And most recently Khabib Nurmagomedov’s name was thrown in the mix.

Will Mayweather vs. Khabib actually box?

“Don’t pay attention to it,” White told ESPN on Thursday. “First of all, the Mayweather team has not approached us at all. Khabib is under contract with the UFC; we haven’t talked to anybody from the Mayweather team. Floyd is very good at getting his name back out there when he’s ready to.”

Even Khabib’s teammate Daniel Cormier thinks this would be a horrible idea:

“Khabib better not try to box him. Khabib better not try to box Floyd Mayweather. What is he doing, man?’ Cormier jokingly asked during an appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show.

“Unless he’s just going to go do it for money, because he is going to get beat. I love Khabib man but he is going to get beat up by Floyd Mayweather. He’s crazy. He is going to start wrestling. Khabib is going to start wrestling in the boxing ring. He’s going to get beat so bad he is going to start wrestling,” said the “champ-champ,” who simply couldn’t help but to laugh it all off.

As for Mayweather and mma the jury is still out on that one.  A little while back this happened:

TMZ spoke with Floyd and asked how the champion how he is prepping for his MMA debut. He said that he would need a bit longer than the “2 1/2 months” that Woodley had advised:

“We’ve talked. We’ve been texting back and forth. We talked a couple times so we’re going to start working out real soon,”

“I’ll probably need a little bit longer (than three months), a little bit longer, even if it takes six to eight months. Whatever it takes, we want to make sure that everything is done correctly and everything is done the right way.”

“It doesn’t matter. I can wrestle. My wrestling game is not that bad. On a scale from one to 10, I would say it’s probably a seven, and I think we could take it up to like a nine, if possible. Of course my hand game is, a scale from one to 10, it’s 100. And my kicking game, on a scale from one to 10, it’s probably a four. So we have to tweak a few things then, take things to that next level.”
