Boxing’s money man, Floyd Mayweather Jr., is flirting with a pro comeback, sending ripples through the fight game. After hanging up his gloves post a perfect 50-0 run, the Hall of Famer is now eyeing official professional bouts once more. His bold claims have promoters scrambling and enthusiasts dreaming big.
The McGregor fight in 2017 was his swan song—a 10th-round TKO that etched his name in stone as a multi-division champ. Retirement didn’t mean idleness; exhibitions against MMA stars, boxers, and celebs kept him in the fray, from Logan Paul to recent scraps.
August 2024 saw him dazzle in Mexico versus John Gotti III. The real fireworks? A proposed 2026 epic with Mike Tyson in Congo this April, where two legends over 100 years combined will collide. Mayweather touts his events’ unrivaled revenue and viewership.
This could be the gateway to sanctioned glory after nine long years. At 48, with a career that’s already historic, fans crave one more chapter. Will ‘Money’ Mayweather lace up for real? The boxing universe holds its breath.
