A fight is a fight, but there are fundamental differences in the cultures of boxing and mixed martial arts. Like in boxing, the sport where Rocky Marciano kept fighting against Ezzard Charles despite his nose being split as if by a surgeon’s scalpel, quitting is the ultimate sin.
In mixed martial arts, however, tapping out is less frowned upon because being choked unconscious or having a shoulder dislocated while in a defenseless position is something to be avoided.
Which brings us to Floyd Mayweather Jr, retired undefeated boxing legend, and his Instagram checkmate of UFC lightweight champ Conor McGregor. The two have sparred through social media, teasing a potential crossover fight with McGregor even being granted a boxing license in California.
Mayweather may have fired the knockout blow on Thursday, December 15 when he posted a video on Instagram mocking McGregor’s submission loss to Nate Diaz in their first fight at UFC 196 in March. The post asks fans to comment with their best captions, and the one judged the best on Monday winning $10,000.
Mayweather finished it with calling him “Connor (sic) the Notorious Quitter.” It’s a cold world out there. – Rappler.com
