Re: Floyd Mayweather tables £12.2m offer for McGregor to face him in a boxing ring.
David Haye, Dana white and Jimi Manuwa in talks about Boxing match at the O2.. This being the second boxing/ufc crossover and far more likely to happen soon over McGregor vs Mayweather.
I can see the appeal with McGregor vs Mayweather, they're the alpha's of their sport the P4P kings.
I can't really see the point in a Manuwa vs Haye fight. So far, Manuwa has been taken out by the best, he has good knockout ability but I wouldn't describe his boxing as top class, nor would I describe his chin in such a manner. To Haye it's what Mark de mori and Arnold were, sparring fights essentially. Pointless fight that wouldn't really attract that much hype surrounding it. I doubt Manuwa's ability to pull out 12 rounds at Heavyweight nevermind surviving a right hand from Haye or anyone else playing at Heavyweight boxing. It's dangerous. See I don't and many others don't think Mayweather could scratch McGregor, he'll outbox him over 12 rounds but that's all I could see on that front. I could see Haye doing serious damage to a guy that's never boxed Professionally whilst punching the way Haye does. You could fight at the top level in UFC forever but nothing will prepare you for a barrage of mega punches from a Heavyweight like Haye, Joshua, Wilder etc. It's just stupid.
Bellew is back in full training, Haye is making progress so hopefully that'll come around before this crossover.
