Toney's promoter that Goossen challenges Couture to get in a dogfight

You like James Toney like a big underdog against Randy Couture to 118 UFC? You can listen to his boxing promoter, Dan Goossen, that by the end of this interview will have eight minutes you run for the bet Couture. Goossen not rip Toney, he knows just the reality of a boxer stepping into a cage and fighting based on mixed martial arts. He admires Toney to show the courage to crossover, but frankly the promotion of the entire "boxing versus MMA" disturbs him.

"He is counting on being able to go out there and hit Couture with one of the shots that would definitely put him if he connects," Goossen says fighthubtv.com.(4: 55 mark). "The only thing I would say is there is nothing that whenever if James loses because it is a sport completely different ".

Love or hate him, Toney is doing something very few boxers that are still viable in square circle were willing to do.

"One person was willing to walk on the wild side, James Toney," said Goossen (8: 09 mark). "Is a completely different sport. It would be like a player of lacrosse play all of a sudden Major League Baseball.It would be difficult for him to do it, no matter how many times he hits a ball in lacrosse. "

Goossen is lost on this analogy.There is no "hitting" the ball is lacrosse. boxing is one of the many disciplines used in MMA.

Goossen says three times that he will offer you the same money that Couture UFC is paying for this fight bounce immediately back and take Toney in a boxing match.

"Win, lose or draw with Randy Couture, ti corresponds to what he is making for this fight," said Goossen (mark 5: 19)."And let's see if he had the same trick warrior that James Toney has to crossover, for the holding of boxing".

Goossen says he's not rip Couture, but want everyone to know Toney is one-of-a-type for this operation.He says even moved like owner UFC Lorenzo Fertitta seven or eight years ago to match Toney against Tito Ortiz in a boxing match.Fertitta passed onto the Sin offering.

Good for Goossen for not lifting a big stink and attempts to lock Toney from this risk. Don King freaked out when his Boxer Ricardo Mayorga tried crossover for a fight MMA .DK went as far as putting up a million dollars cash to get an injunction to stop MMA fight against Din Thomas of Mayorga. He argued that poor performance by Mayorga might ruin its investment in Boxer. now what is left Mayorga with? where is his payday? Toney had great anything on the horizon in boxing so at least this keeps his name out there and cashes out a nice-sized control.
