Morning Report: Tyron Woodley says Floyd Mayweather MMA training starts this week

In December, Floyd Mayweather Jr. declared he had a multi-fight offer from the UFC worth “a billion dollars.” Just last week, Mayweather announced that he would begin training for a possible fight in the Octagon and would need “six to eight months” to train for his possible MMA debut. Now, it looks like he’s ready to get down to brass tacks, at least according to UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.

A few weeks ago, Woodley declared his intention to train Mayweather for a crossover into MMA and over the weekend, the welterweight champion announced that Mayweather would start his MMA journey next week.
