And if not mistaken, Dana White doesn't want his UFC fighters like Conor to do one boxing exhibition because of this reasons. But they are making good money so I guess they will continue to do business with Floyd and the Paul brothers.
No doubt that they'll continue even if Dana White says so.
There's a huge money that's being involved and they might have been offered with an amount that's hard to decline. Just like any other athlete, when is being offered with good compensation and talent fee, they won't think twice but will grab the offer.
The Paul brothers did discovered this niche that will make them and their opponents big money.
Dana is losing contracts as more fighters actually get off from Dana's control. Nate Diaz also was to fight against Jake but of course, Dana didn't like the idea and the contract also does not allow UFC fighters to have another event involving his fighters.
Unfortunately, UFC fighters losing against Jake embarrasses UFC. It would mean this combat sport is not really as ULTIMATE as it may sound if that is the case.
They are different sports. I am a fan of boxing and MMA, however you have made a very head shaking argument. You argue that MMA is not as
because retired MMA fighters cannot win against Jake Paul in boxing? Why not the best professional boxers fight in MMA to prove that MMA is not as
I estimate that there may be 1 of those boxers who might win, however, I am quite certain the other 9 would never return.
