There are a number of rumors circulating that WrestleMania XXIV headliner Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going to announce signing with UFC this week. UFC's Dana White is touting a major announcement on Thursday, so the puzzle pieces fit in theory, but we'll see if there is anything to it within a week.

I called it first Gary fuck off.

But he'll get his ass handed to him.

Wrestling he'll lose, bjj he'll lose, standup he'll lose.

He's got brittle hands with boxing gloves on, with mma he'll be even worse off. He is a defensive boxer with little ko power, a shoulder roll will not work in mma.

Mayweather was clearly a great boxer. One of the best ever. I'll take him in MMA if he is going to take it serious.

Yes because brittle hands, defensive boxing, and shoulder rolls all translate awesome in mma.

Yeah and his 39-0 record in boxing's sure going to help him when he faces somebody like Sherk that will slam the shit out of him and he won't know how to get out of the mount..

Bring the brass knuckles Money! He's dead if it goes to the ground.... I wonder how he'd do on defending kicks. =/

Prolly get KO'd by a headkick easily and if he gets into a fight with a BJJ guy he'll be submitted in like 2 minutes

No Gary, you told me that he would be facing Penn, that is what I questioned the most.

Carmichael Dave, who hosts a Sacramento sports radio show on KHTK 1140, is reporting that Dana White has flatly denied rumors that he's close to signing Floyd Mayweather Jr. for 200 million dollars. Below is the content of a text message sent to Carmichael Dave from Dana White:
LMFAO! Neeeeevver! I have been in london and just landed in NYC! If I was gonna pay 200 million (dollars), it would be to mixed martial artists who fight their fuckin' asses off, not a bunch of pussy boxers that don't fuckin' fight. And you can quote me on that.

The quote states that Dana White will not sign Mayweather for 200 million dollars, but it in no way should be offered up as proof that the two men haven't discussed a potential contract as we first reported here.

Judging from his response perhaps the two sides were unable to come to an agreement or maybe Dana White is just playing coy. It's difficult to say at this point, but we should here an official announcement from the UFC by Thursday.

A completely ridiculous claim to say $200m but this still doesn't count out the signing as Dana only laughs at the price tag.

Although he does call him a pussy boxer who doesn't fight.
