How many of you got the news? The Russian bear wresting beast is finally up to take on self-proclaimed wannabe boxer GayWather this May. More info about the event can be found online (Sorry for not linking the sources as I'm not able to find them at the moment). The update I saw was on Khabib's official page about this event on May 2019. Just thought of you guys know to plan your bets in advance.

PS: It would be great if anyone can link to that post.

What did Dana say? Khabib has a contract with the UFC and cannot make deals without an approval from Dana. Also, what sentence did the Nevada Athletic Commission give Khabib?

it would be great if there is a blockchain based betting site where we can participate. i heard that mayweather once endorse a cryptocurrency and now he is being sued by investors?

This is the link about the statement of Dana White about the bout in which I think will not happen. Dana don't like the last match of Mayweather and Mcgregor in which, well Connor lost, I think that is a given.

Dana also states that it gave them a profit (Floyd-Mcgregor Fight) but he also said that he is not into making that kind of fights. If Floyd Mayweather will fight Khabib, he must go to MMA in which I don't think will happen since we all know how he will react to that. Khabib Nurmagomedov may want to fight the undefeated boxer but as Dana says it, he should be focusing on defending his title here(MMA).

I am interested in Khabib since the last match, and I see that he has a big chance to win the game again. He has big power, and he can attack without mercy. I only hope that my friend knows about Khabib so we can place bets together like usual and we can make a win of the money again like before because I don't have any info about the game.

To quote for the article that Janation has posted:


LOL, I don't think that Mayweather is man enough to go with Khabib in the Octagon with MMA rules. He will be 'eaten alive' if he chooses to go inside with Khabib. There's still some things that Khabib needed to settle with the Nevada Commission so I'm not sure if this fight will push through. Looks like though that Mayweather has been in the limelight for the last couple of months now, first with the supposedly Manny Pacquiao 2 and now with Khabib. Is he running out of money now? or he just wanted to stay relevant in the sports again?

Mayweather will never get into the Octagon with Khabib, it just won’t happen for a number of reasons. Mayweather’s pride being one & insurance being the other.
Econds ;)
If Khabib was to step into a boxing ring then Mayweather will outclass him just like he did against Conor.

Mayweather is an artist in the boxing ring, no way a UFC fighter will beat him. Khabib can’t win a fight if he has to stand up for more thsn 30 seconds ;D

indeed this cannot be said officially because there has been no official news published in the media, it may still be just a rumor. but if it is true in the future, it will be like the story of mcgreagor vs mayweather where an UFC fighter against boxers competes in the rules of boxing, then the chances of boxers to win are certainly greater than the UFC fighter.

Wow...  Is this dog and pony show really happening?  Would you guys really watch Khabib in a boxing match?  Lol.  :D

And no way Mayweather is fighting in MMA.  No f*cking way...

Khabib wants to fight Mayweather but the thing is that, Floyd, if ever any fighters want to fight him, he wants to do it in his stage, the boxing ring. Based on the link given, it is like that Khabib really wants to fight Floyd in his ring while White is not into that since, well let's be honest, that is a handicap to his MMA fighters. I agree on White said, Khabib should really focus on his title.

Dana White recently said that if that fight were to happen than Mayweather needs to come to UFC in order to fight Khabib. Considering that is impossible this fight will not happen for sure.

First of all Khabib is not a striker, he is a take down type fighter and if he goes to boxing than Mayweather will have an easy win, however if Dana White doesn't allow Khabib to go box like Conor and just wants Mayweather to come than he is dreaming. Mayweather won't come to UFC ring to fight a takedown fighter when he is the best boxer in the world, boxers do not fight in that style and would challenge a forty year old Mayweather.

On top of that all the boxing matches Mayweather fights are promoted by himself and he makes all the money from it, if he goes to UFC than Dana White will make the money and give some of the profits to Mayweather which he won't accept. This is a dream fight that will never happen in any case.

It will be an interesting fight but after seeing Mcgregor VS Mayweather in a boxing match I really think that a boxer would surely win and if this fight would go on the same thing will just happen, It is like a Shark VS a Tiger the only problem is the Shark was not in the water which is very unfair, We will just make a handicap over a mixed martial artist that is well known to his environment to a pro boxer that is pretty much well versed in a boxing ring and the boxing rules, and just like the article that had been brought up this fight will not happen and I really think people are well aware of who's gonna win.

It will have a huge betting as people are really fond of this type of wrestling and having such big players on the field will definitely lure all the major gamblers to be bet on their favorites and choose who will be wining. All the best to everyone who would be betting on them.

Nah! For sure it'll be a boxing match and like many times before, mayweather being by far the better boxer, will end up beating another ufc champ. I don't think they should continue pitting mma fighters with boxers. And it would look like money is the main draw for these sports.

If this happens the bets are going to be on Floyd, like always. I think that Conor is a better boxer than Khabib and he definitely lost his fight with Floyd and in this match wrestling skills don't matter at all. It would be a great middle finger from Khabib to Conor if he'd win vs Floyd and achieve what Conor couldn't, but I just don't see how it could be possible. He's out of his league here.

Just like on what happened on Conor fight.This is already an anticipated fight on whose gonna win.It is too obvious because UFC and Boxing wont really be ever the same.If one of them step in
to the ring which isnt really part on their career line then it will automatically a disadvantage.


There are lots of Bookies out there pal when it comes to betting this particular event. About that crypto endorsed by Floyd as far as i remember it was CENTRA project.

I love Khabib since the moment he beat McGregor but he did not only stop there, he continued and start to beat up members of the team of McGregor. The news spread out over Youtube, Instagram, Facebook and many other social media and since then I am a big fan of Khabib but this time the opponent looks stronger.

I think Khabib will win this difficult fight too.

 "he continued and start to beat up members of the team of McGregor."

This isnt a sports but a disrespectful thing to be done by a fighter.It did make some noise but not really an impressive thing to boost out some good impacts on his career and also this isnt a difficult fight for him but
rather a VERY VERY VERY small chances of winning against a strong boxer but well for the sake of money then it doesnt really matter at all.

I agree, this is another joke fight. And you guys are right, Mayweather don't have the "balls" to fight Khabib. I don't understand UFC's obsession with Floyd though, let Dana match Khabib with Tony or rematch with Conor. I think its enough that we have seen cross-over fights between the two fighting disciple. No disrespect to Khabib, but fighting Floyd doesn't do any good on your resume. (except for huge pay check... ;D)

Thanks for all your constructive input boys! Indeed this isn't finalized yet but there are talks that they will have a two-way match - 1 in a boxing ring and other MMA. Nothing is certain though. From the comments I could make out Khabib is winning both of them. ;D

We don't know about that. Khabib is great but he has the disadvantage at the boxing ring especially it is Floyd Mayweather he's fighting. Dana is against it but I think Khabib really wants it.

I will go for Khabib if Dana White accepts the fight of the two. I think if that happens, Dana is confident with Khabib fighting but based on the link, I don't think Dana will approve of this. We know Floyd and he will not be fighting Khabib at the octagon so I don't think a two-way fight will happen. There will only be one fight and if it is finalized, it will be a boxing match.

This is not a good fight for both fighters. Surely they will get the money they want but will leave a bad taste to boxing and MMA. As i see it, Khabib will surely lost to Floyd in boxing while Floyd will be eaten alive by Khabib in the octagon. I hope that Dana will interfere with this one, he knows that Floyd is only after the money in fighting with MMA fighters and will be destroying only their reputation.

Dana White had released a statement that if Floyd Mayweather wants to fight Khabib then he needs to come to the octagon. This only tells us that Dana have already learned his lesson via that Floyd and McGregor fight. Anything is not final yet, money is powerful and it can move mountains.

We all know how smart and wise Floyd is. He won't going to do the fight if it's in octagon where it's a disadvantage to him. Imo if the fight will happen in boxing ring, Floyd will win but if it's in octagon, it will be Khabib's victory. In the end it's all about money and clean record for Floyd.

What lessons did Dana learn though? I mean the guy is a businessman, if there's something he learn, its that Floyd and any UFC star can make a lot of money. We have seen it in the Conor fight already. Its the blue print for a successful fight and the amount of money it can generate for his business. But if he insist that Floyd fights in Octagon? Dana is crazy, Floyd won't take that bait because as he wanted to preserve his undefeated record.

That doesn't matter really. As long as his match with Gregor was concerned, it could have been a fixed match and Gregor lost for winning a huge sum of money! Things wouldn't be the same with Khabib because he isn't as money hungry as Gregor is.

Why do all the MMA fighters have to box some cocky chump in a ring? This works only in favour of one.

Does Dana White make any money out of this at all if the fight is boxing? I mean did he made a single cent from Conor vs Mayweather fight?

If he didn't get any money at all and just hoped that Conor fighting Mayweather would get more attention to UFC than it doesn't worth it at all. UFC is already quite known thing and there are really EA sports games based on it (and boxing is not quite popular anymore in gaming) and you are still trying to get exposure for your organization by letting your fighters do whatever you want? I don't think so.

If Khabib goes and fights with Mayweather in a boxing match than I seriously believe Dana should give him a punishment like get the UFC some percentage of the winnings or something. If you sign a contract with some place and than just go do other work there should be consequences.

He obviously made money from the Conor McGregor vs Floyd Mayweather fight, tons of it actually. Conor McGregor is under UFC's contract, so it was a clash of two worlds. Dana White was always there during all negotiation times. The deal was probably split but I don't know the exact %.

In fact Dana White just said that the meet with Floyd Mayweather yesterday. Dana is now saying that Khabib will not fight Floyd in a boxing match, that he is very welcomed on the octagon but he will not let Khabib go to the boxing match. Dana doesn't want to see another big name getting beaten up by a 40 year old boxer so he wants to lure Floyd into the octagon for a massive payday. I hope Floyd is smart enough to know that he has no business there. His job is to bring Khabib into the ring. However if Dana doesn't let Khabib do it, and if Dana has a billion dollar deal for Mayweather at the UFC, then Mayweather may actually go into the octagon because the guy just loves money and a billion dollar deal is a billion dollar deal.

If ever the fight happens, Im sure it will be boxing and not UFC. I'm sure MayWeather and his team are smart enough to know that they will be destroyed if they try out UFC right now. Look at MayWeather's age, Im sure he's not up to any fights that arent in his comfort zone. If Kabib does agree to box MayWeather, I am pretty sure MayWeather got this in his bag. I know Khabib can take punches and a lot of them but MMcompA and Boxing are completely different sports. Its like asking a Painter(who paints walls) to compete against a Painter-Artist at a portrait making competition. Yeah, they both paint but the odds that the wall painter will beats the Artist is slim. Looking forward to it though. You can understand the reason why Mayweather isnt going after boxers of his division class and theres a threat in those scenarios but he knows that MMA fighter into the boxing arena is basically like tying somebody's legs and asking him to box. 

The lesson here is that he is being fooled by Mayweather by letting his MMA fighter fought him and MMA fighters have slim probability of winning a boxing match. Now it would be his turn to fool Mayweather by letting him come to the octagon but i think that Floyd is smart enough not to take the bait.

Lol. This to me would be like the final joke of the year, if indeed this is happening. Dog and pony show indeed! Well, Mayweather started the challenge first, and I would not blame Khabib for wanting to be a man, but really? ;D
This would really be something worth watching, to at least have something to laugh about, even though so many things with this, does not just sound about plausible.
Even one of the articles confirms it all;
;D .... It is really difficult to imagine!

Ok. But I think Dana knows all along that Conor can't win that fight and he just goes along with the plan for the sake of making money. I'm sure that as promoter of Conor the company receives some shares of the revenue. But since Floyd is the A-side, the lion share goes to him. But we all know that Floyd won't really take that bait because he is not only smart but wanted to retire with no losses.

You cannot link the news as it is not true and i am a fight fan and i really do not want to see either of them fight, Mayweather coming to MMA to face Khabib and vice versa in a boxing ring would be the worst match up anyone can put as both will school each other in their respective sport and there is nothing intriguing to watch if you know the results already.  If there is a betting line that this match is not happening I will bet happily . :P

Looks like you have no idea what you are talking about, the majority of the profit from the Mayweather Connor fight goes to the UFC as they were the co promoters of the fight and with the dismal UFC PPV buys that year because of the lack of any intersting fights is covered by this single fight.

I doubt that Mayweather will ever go up to the octagon,as we know the boxing technique he has and this is to prevent opponents to get closer,while the MMA ruling is different from WBA thats why for sure the Boxer wont take the risk being kicked or grappled action that for sure will cut his breath lol

But this is too early ,because the publicity about the fight is just beginning And i guess they are gathering feeds if the fight will gain Millions of dollars or not 😂😂😂

I don't think Floyd Mayweather will take the challenge to fight under MMA rules. Floyd MayWeather is a defensive fighter and his fighting style not the kind of style that MMA fans like. We have seen fighters like Junior Dos Santos got booed because he only want's to fight standing up, he doesnt want to wrestle and what happened to him may happen to Floyd Mayweather if he accepts the challenge.

I also see mayweather promoting crypto currency and i think it is a huge help for the increasing of demand since mayweather is one of the richest athlete in the world and he can replace huge amount of money as an investment, and i am happy to watch this fight if it is true.

It's not about his capacity to replace the invested money of his investors but its more on his name will be tarnished by promoting a failed ICO or worst scam ICO. Furthermore, Floyd Mayweather may have the money now after his fight with UFCs Conor Macgregor, but that doesn't mean he is willing to return all the money invested in the coin he is promoting.

I guess this fight will not happen anymore as Floyd Mayweather is scheduled to fight in Tokyo by New Years eve. See discussion here Floyd Mayweather set for New Year's Eve fight in Japan (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5063569.0)

I don't think it would be done since khabib has his contract in UFC and of course Mayweather would not fight him in the octagon. The fight between the two fighters will only be done if khabib will have his contract in the UFC or Mayweather will do the fight in a UFC way. If this will continue to pursue, then it would be a mcgregor/Mayweather 2 which is a Taylor made for Mayweather.

Yeah, it looks like Floyd has another plans though and chooses the easy fight. hehehe. He doesn't want anything of the Khabib, would rather fight a 20 year old kid from Japan. Well it makes sense as he would make a lot of money from fighting in Japan and we all know that he will win that fight. But the question is will fight fans fall for another Floyd circus fight?

If this match will become a real deal I'm confident we will be able to bet on it using wagerr cryptocurrency blockchain.

Its obvious that he is fighting right now for money but I didn't expect that he will fight this young kid from Japan (I don't know the name as he is not popular). I thought Khabib and Floyd fight will happen but it didn't. I'm not expecting that this fight will happen anymore.

It seems that he could not bring Khabib to square ring this time and he won't go to the octagon either.


It may not sell like that of his fight against Pacman but still he could earn some bucks enough for him to finance his lifestyle for at least a year. He could land a rematch with Pacman next year which could bring him money enough for retirement.

Indeed, I thought that the whole fight with the Japanese kid is a joke, but I remember the Ali vs Inoki fight in 1976, and yes, Ali fought because he has good financial gains but there are news that the kick on his legs really affected him during the last turn of his career, so if its going to be kicks involved, then Mayweather should be ready to take it. Otherwise, it might ruin him for the next Pacman fight.

Well according to Floyd Mayweathers Instagram post, he was mislead by the promoters. The deal was to fight the kid in front of an exclusive audience and the fight will not be televised. So its like a exhibition match but the Japanese promoters made a presscon and make it look like a fight like Floyds and Connors. So in the end, the fight between Floyd and the Japanese kid will not happen.   

The sales may be even better than his previous fight versus Pacquiao. Khabib landed in a lot of controversy after his match versus McGreigor. Also, whenever a Russian fights an American, it gets a lot of media attention.

So this match up is supposed to happen on May 2019...  Anybody wanna make a bet on this event not happening?

For 50 bucks total (can be split vs different trusted people in BCT), I say it won't happen.  No way will there be a boxing match between Mayweather and Khabib.  50/50 odds and payment on June 1, 2019 to the winner.

No, it doesn't bring as much money compare to the Pacquiao fight. Manny Pacquiao is a global phenomena, while Khabib is just pure MMA so its hard to see the fight even touching Floyd vs Manny as per as the generated money goes. We already gotten past the "Cold War" era so it doesn't add up to the hype of the fight.

ahah I could take on that. The match is certainly happening but just not sure about the ring. There could actually be two bets though. One for match and another for the type of ring selected. Match and Ring selected it's too one side of a bet.

It's Gregor dude. I have to agree with your Russian vs American part.

Ok let's agree on the terms.  I'm betting that there's no bout between Mayweather and Khabib in boxing.  If a there's a boxing match between them before June 1, 2019, you win.  If there's none before June 1, 2019, I win...  But if there's a bout, but in MMA or some other form of fighting, it's a draw.

50/50 odds, payment on June 1, 2019.  50 bucks.  Go?

Sorry for responding late here. I almost forgot about this one. Yup I agree with the terms. Again, if there is a boxing match between them before June 1,2019 I win. If no boxing match then you win. If there's an MMA or a different form of fighting it's a draw. You may quote my post.
