Floyd Mayweather meets with Dana White as UFC chief says ‘Holy s*** WTF going on here?’ as boxing icon hints at MMA move


FLOYD MAYWEATHER has teased a sensational switch to MMA after meeting up with UFC chief Dana White.

It’s not the first time the retired undefeated boxing king has flirted with the idea of entering the octagon.

Last year the 44-year-old incredibly claimed he wanted to fight Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov in the same DAY.

And while that appears unlikely to ever happen, the latest meet-up with White is a sign that something could be in the pipeline.

White posted a photo on Twitter of him alongside Mayweather, writing: HOOOOOOOLY S**T!!!!!! WTF is goin on here.”

Mayweather worked with White for his 10th-round stoppage win in a boxing fight against McGregor in 2017.

Also in attendance was RIZIN CEO Nobu Sakakibara – the promotional company hosted his exhibition thrashing of Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018.

It’s not known whether the two businessmen are involved in Mayweather’s scheduled exhibition scrap against YouTuber Logan Paul.

Mayweather is set to face the social media star in a pay-per-view spectacle this year.

In an interview with entrepreneur Rob Moore, the boxing legend was asked if he is fighting Paul, who is 0-1 as a professional.

Mayweather, 44, responded: “Name another boxer, besides myself, that’s more famous than Logan Paul?”

The 50-0 icon then explained he could make a guaranteed $35million (£25m) to fight any regular boxer.

But an exhibition extravaganza will earn him $65m more, as he projected he will make $100m (£72m) against Paul.
