Send the boxers home to learn to really know how to fight!

Yeah, but can the MMA guys manage with out kicking, grappling, ground and pound and arm bars? Boxing and MMA are two very different forms of fighting. Asking Mayweather to perform in an MMA fight is silly. He'd take years to learn all of the techniques that are used in MMA. In a fight between 2 guys at the top of their game in each one, I think the guy that in his chosen field is going to have a clear advantage.
This feels like asking a metal fabricator and a carpenter to build a dresser from scratch. Both guys may use some of the same hand tools, but the guy that's in his realm is going to have a clear advantage. This seems like the kind of thing where the MMA guy could get badly embarrassed or disqualified for not being able to give up his full bag of tricks when the going gets tough. I assume that for these guys it's more about a huge payday because of the hype and spectacle.
