For Floyd Mayweather who made his fortune and fame in the ring, there appears to be no dull moment even after retirement as he has a finger in every pie. He is not only a money man but has also turned into a busy bee wanting to be involved in sometime at all times.
The former five-weight world champion, who won all 50 of his professional contents, is widely considered the most gifted fighter of his generation.
And since announcing his retirement in the wake of victory over Conor McGregor last year, the 40-year-old has been putting his hands to good use elsewhere.
On Saturday, Mayweather posted a video on Instagram of him enjoying a game of table tennis with his cousin Roy.
‘Money’, who recently flaunted the $100million cheque he received for beating McGregor, was ‘fooling around’ on his ‘$30,000 crystal glass ping pong table’.
The short video showed Mayweather was no slouch with a bat in hand. But he could soon be putting his talents to better use in the Octagon.
It was reported this week that he and McGregr are reportedly in talks over a sensational MMA rematch potentially worth $500million (£360m).
The pair met in August when McGregor was stopped in the 10th round of their glitzy Las Vegas boxing match, Mayweather’s favoured discipline.
‘Money’ has repeatedly hinted he could be ready to make his debut in the Octagon and even posted a video of himself stepping into an MMA cage last month.
Longtime MMA commentator Joe Rogan claimed Mayweather is already in talks with UFC president Dana White over a potential ‘billion dollar’ deal to fight.
Ironically it does appear that once you have hit it big the more money you have the more money is ready to come.
And Mayweather has bragged that he’d received multi-fight deal offers from the UFC and could make a billion dollars if he enters the octagon.
Mayweather officially retired from boxing in 2015 and as of August 2017 he had a net worth of $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The Octagon show if it comes to reality will no doubt be another dollar rain for the stylish world champ.
