Mayweather claims MMA is for Beer drinkers

Floyd Mayweather Jr. claimed last week in an interview with CBS Sportsline that Mixed Martial Arts is for ‘Beer drinkers’.

The boxer said: “It takes true skills to be in the sport of Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts is for Beer drinkers. Boxing is for everybody… I mean you can’t take my shoes off and take my shirt off and just throw me in a cage… you do that with animals, you don’t do that with humans.

“UFC ain’t sh**. It ain’t but a fad. Anyone can put a tattoo on their head and get in a street fight. We should put Liddell against a good heavyweight, under Mayweather Promotions, and if Chuck wins, then I’ll give him a million dollars out of my own pocket. These are guys who couldn’t make it in boxing, so they do (MMA). Boxing is the best sport in the world and its here to stay.”

UFC President Dana White has responded to the quotes and told MMAonTap: “You know, Floyd Mayweather just came out and said some stupid sh** about Chuck Liddell.

“He said he’d pay a million dollars if Chuck could hang with a heavyweight boxer. How about if he pays a million dollars to see if a heavyweight boxer can fight MMA with Chuck Liddell? Or, even better, I’ll put up a million dollars of my own money if Floyd Mayweather can sell more than 10 tickets without Oscar De La Hoya.”
