Floyd Mayweather Jr. doesn't think much of this "MMA"

Note: There is an error with the video right now so I put up this portion of the interview. The link below takes you to where they discuss MMA.

I have missed some good old fashion"MMA is the red-headed step child of boxing" talk.

Fortunately for me Floyd Mayweather Jr. decided to fill this void in my life.

For those that can't watch the video here are some of Mayweather's comments.

"It takes true skills to be in the sport of boxing, and-and Mixed Martial Art is for beer drinkers, boxing is for everbody. This is-uh, you can't take my shoes off and take my shirt off and just throw me in a cage. You do that with animals [pause] you can't [pause] you don't do that with humans."

I know for a fact that boxing events have long been a beacon of prohibition in America. 

"I don't know no fighter in MMA that generated a total revenue in two fights, which only lasted one hour in two fights, generated a total revenue of two hundered and fifty million dollars. They aren't even on my level, at all. 

Absolutely right Floyd. You in fact do make a shit-ton more money than any MMA fighter. 

"You must be running eight and nine miles for boxing yoyu must be able to box not five rounds tweleve, twelve. And it used to be fifeteen... Now that got rounds now they got judges now they got cutmen. So once again MMA stole boxing's whole blue print and run with it." 

I am not sure what the eight/nine mile running threshold is about. If an MMA fighter runs 10 miles does that make them better than a boxer? What if they compete in a triatholon, like Nick Diaz?  

"Like I said before, in boxing we know who is dominanting, black fighters and hispanic fighters is dominating in this sport. And this is not a racial statement but there's no white fighters in boxing that's dominating. So they had to go to somehting else and start something new."

Ah, some good old race baiting. I thought this was reserved for the Sotomayor hearings but I guess Mayweather is trying to channel boxing's most famous race exploiter, Muhammad Ali. 

Someone should tell Floyd about the following MMA champions who are not white (or the fact that middleweight boxer, Kelly Pavlik is white).

Lyoto Machida - Brazilian
Anderson Silva - Brazilian and Black
B.J. Penn- Hawaiian

While Brock Lesnar is traditional WASP Scandinavian American Georges St. Pierre is French Canadian. 

Ultimately Mayweather's comments don't really matter as they are simply designed to discredit what he feel is his competition while simultaneously build interest for his fight.
