Floyd Mayweather 'Very Interested' In Buying Newcastle United

Floyd Mayweather is interested in buying a major share of a Premiere League soccer team -- and just discussed it publicly at a media event in the U.K.

For years, the boxing star has flirted with the idea of purchasing an ownership stake in Newcastle United F.C. -- currently owned by British billionaire Mike Ashley.

But when Floyd sat down for a fan Q&A in Newcastle on Sunday, the moderator asked Floyd straight up about a possible deal.

"You're very very interested in buying Newcastle United," the moderator asked Floyd.
