Mayweather to McGregor: Sign on the line you little punk B!^$#

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor have been trash talking each other since Team Money first floated the idea on May 6, 2016. But it’s getting closer. In a recent interview with FightHype, Mayweather told McGregor to close the deal.

I think that, a lot of times with competitors and athletes and fighters, we can ask for certain things that we really don’t want,” said Mayweather, as transcribed with Jed Meshew for MMA Fighting. “I want to fight, I want to fight. There’s a lot of barking but there’s no biting. When you talk about biting, sign the contract. Don’t talk the s***. If you really want to fight, sign the contract and we can make it happen.

So just letting the world know that he’s full of s*** and he don’t really want to fight. ‘Oh, I want to fight, I want to fight, I want to fight. Mayweather’s scared of me.’ Listen, I’m my own boss, so let’s make the fight happen. You talking all that s***, you acting like you want to fight, I don’t think you really want to fight. Sign the contract, let’s make it happen.

You belong to the UFC and you don’t own anything. Don’t bid yourself out. Just make the fight happen. Just like when I went out and I competed, at one particular time, I had to be the B-side. I didn’t cry, I didn’t complain. When they brought the money to the table, I took it, kicked a**, and became the A-side. Now I’m the A-side, come kick my a** and you become the A-side.”

When I became the A side, I demanded what I wanted. He cannot demand anything because he’s not in a position to demand anything. If we offer you, or your team offers you, a certain amount of money – I don’t know what it is – take it.

With or without Conor McGregor, Floyd Mayweather is still going to get seven figures every month for the rest of his life and still live a lavish life, said Mayweather.

Conor McGregor, stop blowing smoke up peoples’ a**es, you little b****. If you want to fight, let’s make it happen you punk.

We gonna fight, regardless, standing up, because real men fight standing up. I’m from the old school. I’m not gonna kick my shoes off, I’m not gonna be between no man’s legs, wrestling on the ground, I’m gonna stand up and I’m gonna kick a**. That’s what I do.

Mayweather claims he can make over $1,000,000 per month indefinitely. Most unfortunately, if the long, long history of boxing in the USA is any guide, Mayweather will run out of the money needed to sustain his lifestyle, and may run out of money altogether. Maybe he already is.

So on the one hand, he is more proven PPV draw. Mayweather has broken 1,000,000 pay per view buys eight times, to McGregor’s four. On the other hand, McGregor at 28 can break 1,000,000 buys vs a number of fighters including Nate Diaz, GSP, and Khabib Nurmagomedov. It is not clear that Mayweather has the same options.

Floyd Mayweather is 40. No fighter has ever managed to beat either age or taxes. McGregor has a decade to make fortunes, Mayweather doesn’t.

Most importantly, however, is 49. Floyd Mayweather is 49-0. Rocky Marciano retired at 49-0, and that record is cursed. In a superstitious sport, no one has been able to break it. For the ages, Mayweather needs to get to 50-0. And the only person he can break it against – even with a curse – is Conor McGregor.

So McGregor wins in the negotiation. Except McGregor cannot negotiate – his UFC contract prohibits it. So any deal goes through Dana White. However, that will take a change in tactics. And the key to White’s heart is not calling him a little, punk, b****.

Make it happen, Floyd.
