5 reasons why Floyd Mayweather vs. CM Punk must happen

#1 Billion Dollar Man

Floyd Mayweather loves showing off his money and extravagant lifetsyle

That’s right, Floyd Mayweather will literally amass more than a billion dollars if he is to compete in a handful of fights in the UFC.

For those who don’t follow the sport of boxing, bear in mind, that Mayweather isn’t returning to the sport of boxing now, especially given the murderer’s row of young lions licking their chops at the prospect of facing a 40-year old legend in the sport where he’s already cemented his legacy. Contrarily, while Mayweather is likely to lose to any top MMA fighter in the UFC, he has the in-built excuse of having lost in a sport he just started training for—given that Floyd has no prior significant grappling credentials.

Regardless of the level of Mayweather’s opposition in the UFC, boxing fans, MMA watchers as well as hordes of casual fans will tune in to watch the sheer spectacle of Mayweather competing in the sport of MMA. While the allure shall last at the most for about 4 fights against low-level opponents, Mayweather could then face a real test, Conor McGregor, in his final MMA fight—one that Mayweather will likely get demolished in—following which ‘Money’ can ride off into the sunset as a billionaire.

The first step to earning his billion is without a question CM Punk. The retired WWE Superstar brings name value as well as a negligible threat to Mayweather inside the Octagon.

Money speaks, and the fans have largely insinuated that they’re indeed reaching for their wallets to pay the $100 for the UFC PPV debut featuring Floyd Mayweather.

It’s not a matter of if but rather when.
