    No one in there prime will do it because there's still too much money to be made in boxing. A third tier boxer like Cintron can make as much as the top MMA fighters at present.

    Ricardo Mayorga was about to do it but Don King put a stop to that. With that said I wouldnt be surprised to see a fighter with financial issues do it, maybe a roy jones in a future.

    How much is Cintron making these days? GSP by his own admission is making $4 to $5 million per fight, and as the recent lawsuit showed when it is all said and done Overeem, with his PPV cut, will walk away with an awful lot of money for his fight with Lesnar.

    outside of Pac & Floyd, everyone other boxer is basically making chumpchange.

    overall on average UFC fighters are paid more and are well taken cared of.
