Floyd Mayweather Jr. has never struggled to keep his name in headlines — and that hasn’t changed in retirement.
Somehow, the former boxing champion has become a pervasive figure in mixed martial arts since his Aug. 2017 boxing match against UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor. In recent months, Mayweather’s presence in the sport has centered primarily around the notion that he is eyeing an MMA fight in the future, with rumblings of a potential rematch against McGregor in four-ounce gloves infecting the online rumor mills. Mayweather even went so far as to recently claim to TMZ that he’ll need 6-8 months of training then will “eventually” apply for an MMA license to make his Octagon debut.
