Boxing star Floyd Mayweather is reportedly seeking to take a punch at NBA ownership, according to Sam Gordon of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Mayweather spoke of his potential for NBA ownership on Monday in Las Vegas when he announced his exhibition fight against Japanese mixed martial artist Mikuru Asakura, saying it has been a goal that he and his team “have been working on behind the scenes with the NBA.”
“I can’t say exactly where, but I’m working on getting a team,” Mayweather said.
Before the start of the ’22 NBA Finals, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league was not in discussion for expansion at the time.
