I think aside from the points you've made simply from a health standpoint I'd advise against Mayweather fighting in MMA.
Yes he's a great boxer but his hands after so many years of boxing and I believe an in the ring accident years ago(anyone who watched the
mayweather/hatten thing on HBO knows what I'm talking about) his hands are more fragile than the younger and let's face it crazier fighters in the
MMA realm.
Arent the gloves lighter and thinner in MMA? I would think at his age (as it relates to boxing), with his money, his incredible record and his hands
I'd retire.
He should really consider an MMORPG he could be a sith or something that's not as exciting as bashing someones brains out in a cage but it's much
safer.
But considering this is Mark Cuban it's highly possible this is some PR stunt. Perhaps he and mayweather are going to start their own league or
something?
It is mentioned in the article that Cuban owns HDfightnet or something which is a MMA promotion company, maybe he's looking to make the next step and
with mayweather you've got clout and flash.
I think if Mark Cuban and Floyd Mayweather went to a bank or investors and said we're starting a MMA league they'd get the money.
