Top-ranked UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal likely has a big 2020 ahead of him.
Masvidal has laid out several possibilities for what’s next for him. One of the more appealing options seems to be a boxing fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather has teased he will end his retirement in 2020. Initial reports suggest he’ll rematch Manny Pacquiao before fighting a UFC fighter in a crossover boxing fight.
“Gamebred” has teased he could cut down to 154 pounds to fight “Money” if he’s open to it. Now, in an interview with Sports Illustrated, Masvidal claims he has heard Mayweather is coming over to Zuffa Boxing, and he wants to fight a UFC star. The Floridian claims he’s the frontrunner to be Mayweather’s opponent, and he’s trying to seal the deal.
“Mayweather is coming over to Zuffa Boxing (which is owned by the UFC). [The promotion is] going to be looking for [a mixed martial artist] to fight him [in a boxing match] and it appears as if I’m the top candidate. That’s the fight we’re all looking to close,” Masvidal said.
Masvidal had a tremendous 2019 and is up for Fighter Of The Year. He started off with a second-round hellacious knockout win over Darren Till in England. Then, he pulled off the fastest knockout in UFC history, flattening Ben Askren in five seconds with a flying knee. Finally, he ended the year with a TKO win over Nate Diaz at UFC 244 due to a Doctor’s Stoppage.
It remains to be seen what’s next for Masvidal, but one thing is for sure, it will bank him some major cash.
Do you think Masvidal could actually box Mayweather in Zuffa Boxing?

Dana White is ready to break into the boxing business. The UFC boss has officially hired someone to front his Zuffa Boxing project.
White is looking to help clean up the sport and make the best fighters fight against the best. However, famed boxing promoter Eddie Hearn thinks White is in for a rude awakening. Speaking to Luke Thomas on “The Luke Thomas Show” on Sirius XM Radio, Hearn explained why White won’t be able to “dominate” and “control the fighters” the way he does in the UFC. (H/T Bloody Elbow)
“I think Dana White is a very intelligent man,” Hearn said. “I think he’s a great promoter as well. A lot of the stuff that he’s done with the UFC — I’ll be honest, I’ve copied a lot of it. They’ve done a great job. I think the difference [is] he’s gonna find it very different in boxing [compered to] UFC.
“It’s not a sport that you can go in and dominate the fighters, control the fighters, get them to sign contracts to fight ultimately whoever they’re told to fight, which is the UFC model. One of the reasons I think the UFC does so well is because fighters really are told which fights they’re taking. That’s not the way in boxing. [In] boxing, the fighters tend to have much more control over their career.
“Of course there are a number of promoters, there are a number of networks who are involved, so there’s a huge amount of politics in the sport of boxing, which is frustrating sometimes. I think that’s something that’s actually going to frustrate Dana White.
“So I would love him to have a go at that, because I think the more promoters, the more investment, the more people making effort to make this sport great, the better. So here’s more than welcome, but I don’t think he’ll have the same kind of model as the UFC.”
White might not necessarily disagree with Hearn. He recently admitted that the sport might be too broken that it can’t be fixed. However, that’s not going to stop the UFC boss from trying.
What do you think about Hearn’s comments regarding White and Zuffa boxing?

Dana White has been promising to get into the boxing business for quite some time, and now has hired someone for Zuffa boxing. He has promised that it will ‘fix boxing’ and make the best fight the best like the UFC.
White still admits boxing is in trouble as evident by who Tyson Fury is fighting next.
“Right there is one of the biggest problems with the sport of boxing,” White told Helen Yee when asked about the popular heavyweight Tyson Fury’s next opponent, Otto Wallin, a man who doesn’t even have a Wikipedia page. “You’ve got a guy like Tyson Fury who comes off this amazing fight with Deontay Wilder. It was a good fight, people loved the fight, and people were excited about it, and what happens? It ends in a draw and they don’t rematch. Or they don’t fight one of the other big two. How does that happen? How is that even possible?
“Again, that’s the sport and it’s one of the really not only bad things about the sport it’s one of the really stupid things about boxing. Everybody wants to fight over their little tiny piece of turf when realistically if they did things the right way, there’s tons of money for everybody. Everybody would make a lot of money, more fans would get involved, there’d be more media coverage, and the list goes on and on.”
For Dana White, after really dissecting boxing as of late, he says it may be too broken to fix. But, they sure as will try and fix the sport.
“It is what it is,” White said. “I’m not acting like I’m Mr. I’m-Gonna-Come-In-And-Save-Everybody-And-Fix-Everything. I don’t know if it can be fixed. It might be so broken that it can’t be fixed. I don’t know the answer to that but we’re gonna try.”
Do you think Zuffa boxing will have an impact in the boxing landscape?
