Nah, he implied that it would be a boxing match commenting that his last boxing match was underwhelming.

Oh yeah, he was definitely saying he'd fight him however. Just saying, there's a loophole there in his phrasing=P

McGregor isn't dumb enough to challenge him to a boxing match (unlike Ronda). I think the percentage thing was just in reference to who would be pulling the viewers.

Unrelated. You gotta feel for Goodridge

You realize he's taking 80% of the purse on a Mayweather fight correct?

He also challenged Mayweather to a bout, saying, "I will give you a fair 80/20 split purse in my favour seen as your last fight bombed at every area of revenue."

So he can act like he is boxing for one round, throw a kick and get DQ'ed.

That would be more money then McGregor would ever see in his lifetime with UFC' purses. His Aldo purse was half a million, he made his money off the deals he made from PPV buys etc. Just any FYI the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was a 300 million dollar purse....What does he care about getting barred from Boxing LMAO

That would make him smart, and his fans the stupid ones.

Anyway it would never happen anyway. I'm not sure the UFC would even allow it, it can only make them look bad because it would be touted as the Boxing vs MMA match, and bring up the conversation of which one is a sport, and which one is just cock fighting...

I'd watch the shit out of a Mayweather/Mcgregor kickboxing match.

What? He's definitely saying he'd take 80% and Mayweather would get 20% of the purse.

That's not just shit talk, it's a way to make sure the fight never happens.

I'm not disputing the first bit. I'm just not sure he was implying it would be a boxing match

Another Houston area fighter, Mike "The Truth" Jackson, signs with the UFC.Jackson is a golden gloves boxer, but has fought a couple of times at the amateur mma level, and kickboxing. He fights out of 4oz FC, which is home for Derrick Lewis and Daniel Pineda.

Dana has him setup to be a gas can for Gall, but Jackson is a very competent striker with decent take down defense.

Putting this here because it's topical and I can't stand the Middle East thread most days.

I'm excited for the cruz/dillashaw fight tonight. Also Matt Mitriones fight.

Oh shit i thought i was the only guy rooting for Dillashaw, that makes two of us bruh.

I bet his eye looks just like Ronda's asshole after matt dives in without lube.
