“2018. Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. MMA. What are the odds, Paddy? What are the odds.”
Mayweather, of course, welcomed Conor McGregor to the boxing ring last summer, schooling the UFC lightweight champion before winning by 10th-round TKO in “The Money Fight” that did huge numbers and raked in a ton of cash. Mayweather said afterward that he was officially retired, but he continues to tease another possible crossover.
The idea of the soon-to-be 41-year-old Mayweather, an all-time boxing legend who holds a perfect 50-0 record, competing in MMA never has been taken seriously. But late last year UFC President Dana White did declare a deal was in the works to get Mayweather in the octagon, which was quickly shut down.
