Chris Weidman: 'Boxing only has Mayweather/Pacquiao, MMA is bigger'

Chris Weidman discusses why he feels the UFC is superior to boxing on The Breakfast Club radio show.

The 'Fight of the Century' between boxing studs Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao has been the subject of heavy criticism amongst combat sports fans around the world. Despite its pay-per-view shattering numbers, the Mayweather/Pacquiao spectacle received a largely negative reaction from spectators. Mayweather's elusiveness and Pacquiao's inability to penetrate Floyd's defense proved to be the story of the fight as 'Pretty Boy' extended his career resume to an immaculate 48-0. Mayweather slipped and rolled from Pacman's punches whilst firing back with crisp counters to claim a unanimous decision win.
