Welcome to Midnight Mania!
For so long as the checks hold clearing, the Floyd Mayweather Heist exhibition tour will proceed. The premise is easy: Mayweather steps into the ring with huge gloves on for a brief sparring match in opposition to the most important identify who’ll take him up on his provide. Normally, it’s playful, but when his opponent tries to show up the warmth, Mayweather tends to oblige.
It will seem that Mayweather is out there for an additional UFC legend as a future foe. Jose Aldo not too long ago revealed himself to be in talks with Mayweather, however he’s not the one one. Within the video above, former double champion Georges St. Pierre talks about his conversations with the Mayweather camp with TSN’s Aaron Bronsteter. St. Pierre is up for it, relying on just a few circumstances.
“The most important identify in boxing got here as much as me, to combat me in boxing,” St. Pierre defined. “I informed him, ‘For me it’s a query of honor, it’s not of cash. You can not purchase me.’”
He continued, “They requested me to field the most important boxer of our time. I stated to them, ‘It’s both you let me use my legs or the takedown!’ … I’m like properly it’s one or the opposite, I’m not going to combat the perfect boxer for cash. For me, in the event that they need to combat me, they’ve to just accept my phrases. There must be a good compromise, 50-50 compromise.”
A number of different potential choices had been introduced as much as St. Pierre, like alternating MMA and boxing rounds or boxing with MMA gloves on. “GSP” was up for the previous however declined the latter, emphasizing that it must be a good commerce.
In all probability, these circumstances are a surefire dealbreaker for Mayweather, who’s on the lookout for simple showcase. On the plus aspect, if by some miracle “Cash” does conform to let St. Pierre kick him upside the pinnacle, not less than Dana White may have a more durable time pulling the plug on an exhibition match in comparison with St. Pierre’s would-be conflict in opposition to Oscar De La Hoya.
