Mayweather: I want to promote MMA and treat fighters fairly
Floyd Mayweather Jr: “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.”
The world’s highest paid athlete, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. recently did an interview with Ben Thompson for FightHype, and reaffirmed that he plans to get into the fight business – the MMA fight business.
“Money” recently received a boxing promoter’s license from the Nevada Athletic Commission, but said he intended to promote MMA as well.
“If you want to be treated fair, come over to Mayweather Promotions,” said Mayweather. “We believe in the talent winning. That’s what we believe in. We believe in treating our boxers and our MMA fighters fair. I want a lot of MMA fighters to get in touch with you because Mayweather Promotions, 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’re very versatile and we have an open mind.
“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.”
What do you think UG? Whatever problems MMA has, is Mayweather the man to fix them?
