Dana White thinking Mayweather vs. Sherk?

Question

From Yahoo! Sports: &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;&#x2026;Sean Sherk, the UFC&#x2019;s lightweight champion, will be ringside to watch Mayweather try to lift the super welterweight boxing title from De La Hoya.&#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA;Mayweather has recently made a number of critical comments about the UFC and MMA. UFC president Dana White, who along with owner Lorenzo Fertitta will also be ringside, has agreed to make it worthwhile for Mayweather to prove his point if he gets past De La Hoya.&#xD;&#xA;White has been irritated by Mayweather&#x2019;s putdowns of MMA and has decided to challenge Mayweather to back his words.&#xD;&#xA;&#x201C;If Floyd is serious and he seriously wants to do this and he&#x2019;s not shooting his mouth off, I&#x2019;ll make him an offer that is definitely worth his while,&#x201D; White said. &#x201C;I don&#x2019;t think he&#x2019;d last three minutes with Sherk. He&#x2019;d be beaten in three minutes, and pretty likely in under a minute, and it would probably be by stoppage or tap-out.&#x201D;&#xD;&#xA;Fertitta, who was once a member of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said, &#x201C;Floyd knows he&#x2019;d get his ass kicked.&#x201D;

Khenson · Answer

Ha,  just UFC&#x27;s way of trying to feed in on this DLH / PBF  money making machine.     Dana White is the chump here.

WAR Sherk

After watching that fight last night and shelling out 55 bucks to watch it, i&#x27;ll take a UFC pay-per-view anyday of the week over boxing. Last night proved that boxing has become all hype and buildup and no delivery. You boxing fans can talk all you want about 3 or 4 boxing fights that are good but UFC puts 3 or 4 good fights on each card......&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;LONG LIVE THE UFC

and a wild bear would beat sherk. who gives a fuck. ufc is lowest common denominator that appeals to the lowest on the iq ladder.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;the boxing match last night was 20x better than any 2 round ufc bullshit could ever be.

Mr.Inconsistent · Answer

keep wasting your money on the gay boxing matches....live in denial that your sport is aged and move on man....i&#x27;ll keep watching ufc expand and get bigger and bigger

cjbestwralltime · Answer

whats your point mr.? jerry springer has a large audience too. Its no surprise to me that UFC is growing- its aimed at idiots. and thats what the majority of our world is.

joshrocker · Answer

Under most circumstances if a boxer gets in an UFC ring he will get his butt handed to him.  Likewise,  if an UFC fighter gets into a boxing ring the true boxer should easily win. These arguments are stupid.  Its like saying a baseball player could beat a basketball player on the court just because both sports involve a ball.

Fullbrights · Answer

Completely agree.  Well said.  It&#x27;s like apples and oranges.

Why would I go into a sport paying hundreds of thousands when I&#x27;m in a sport paying $20 million?" Mayweather said.  Nuff said

&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Yeah... could hold your breath until Mayweather stops running off at the mouth?

On an interesting side note Floyd Mayweather Jr. cleared up some questions about his rumored life after boxing. In the past weeks boxing's widely regarded pound for pound champion had made derogatory comments about mixed martial arts and its fighters, prompting UFC President Dana White to reportedly offer Floyd Mayweather Jr. a fight against current UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk to prove if Mayweather's suspicions of mixed martial arts fighters were true.

Mayweather Jr. swallowed his pride and sincerely stated to Fightnews that he has no plans of competing in any organization of mixed martial arts,

"I apologize to the UFC, sometimes we say things that we shouldn't have said and I'm man enough to admit that. I apologize to the Fertittas, Lorenzo and Dana White (UFC owners). I respect MMA fighters and what they do in the UFC. I have no plans of fighting in mixed martial arts."

KSoze · Answer

Wow... theres a shocker. He isnt going to fight in UFC.
