Mediatakeout.com has a post today about Floyd Mayweather signing for $200 million dollars. For the record, thats not something we've heard. I'm not saying its false either but not something we heard. Yesterday, we reported on wrestlingherald.com and wrestling-edge.com that Mayweather has had talks with Dana White. Apparently, this has been a rumor among some in the MMA world. Also, if anyone has any Dana White quotes from media he did yesterday in England please send them along.

Since we've gotten a ton of e-mails about this, because the mediatakeout.com site reported Floyd Mayweather set to sign a $200 million contract with UFC, claiming it was from a UFC insider and would include equity in the company. Keep in mind that this same web site has broken several pro wrestling and MMA stories in the past that turned out not to have even 1% of truth to them (which doesn't mean this one is wrong, but at this point there is zero confirmation of it). The deal is Dana White is making a big announcement on Thursday so he says (and keep in mind, sometimes he's said he has an announcement coming next week and nothing happens), and Mayweather retired. Now the Mayweather to UFC rumor actually predated Mayweather's retirement announcement (not in going public, but the rumor did go around some in the MMA world). Being that there were a ton of reporters in the U.K. and many spoke to people in UFC and nobody seemed to know anything. Of course, this big surprise is also something nobody is supposed to know.
