The idea that fans are someday going to see Floyd Mayweather in a pair of 4oz gloves is probably a pipe-dream. If Mayweather is going to be lured back to competition once again, it’s almost certainly going to be on terms that both make him look good, and promise a relatively high payday for minimal risk. Taking his first MMA fight at what would be age 43 does not sound like a promising combination of those factors.
Whatever he ends up doing, however, it seems that it will likely involve some kind of active competition, and UFC president Dana White plans on getting a piece of it.
