Former UFC two-division champion Georges St-Pierre spoke about negotiations for a fight with former five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather.
Georges St-Pierre
The biggest name in boxing came up to me, to fight me in boxing. I told him, ‘For me it’s a question of honor, it’s not of money. You cannot buy me.’ They asked me to box the biggest boxer of our time. I said to them, ‘It’s either you let me use my legs or the takedown!’ ... I’m like well it’s one or the other, I’m not going to fight the best boxer for money. For me, if they want to fight me, they have to accept my terms. There needs to be a fair compromise, 50-50 compromise.
St. Pierre, 41, last fought in November 2017 at UFC 217, defeating Michael Bisping by submission in the third round. In November 2013, Georges faced Johny Hendricks at UFC 167. This confrontation went all five rounds allotted and ended with St-Pierre winning by split decision of the judges.
St-Pierre made his pro debut in January 2002, beating Ivan Menjivar by TKO in the first round at the UCC 7 - Bad Boyz tournament. He has 26 wins and two losses under his belt.
