Floyd Mayweather and Dana White planned to collaborate back in 2019
Floyd Mayweather and Dana White have expressed a desire to work with each other since 2019. When the pair were spotted at a Boston Celtics vs. Los Angeles Clippers game in downtown L.A., speculation of a potential collaboration between White and Mayweather gained heat.
In an episode of The Jim Rome Show, Dana White revealed that although his meeting with Mayweather was purely accidental, they talked business endeavors. White also revealed that at the end of the game, the pair shook hands on a deal to collaborate in the future.
This led to speculation that Mayweather might be competing under the UFC banner. However, they decided not to go through with the plan, probably due to the havoc wreaked by the coronavirus in 2020, coupled with the ban on live audiences for sporting events.
Now that the UFC is set to welcome crowds back again, we could expect an announcement on Floyd Mayweather’s comeback soon. Also, Mayweather previously competed under the RIZIN banner in an exhibition boxing match against Tenshin Nasukawa.
It will be interesting to see what White, Mayweather and Sakakibara have in store for fight fans.
