Floyd Mayweather has previously claimed he could make $1 billion from a UFC deal.
‘The Money Team’ jumping into MMA would, naturally, be huge money for everyone involved. Even with a transition still in a hypothetical stage, people across the sport are looking to get a slice of the action.
Mayweather says he will begin training “soon” for a transition into mixed martial arts. The retired boxer confirmed to TMZ Sports he has been in contact with UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, and claims the two will work together in the near future.

“I’m gonna start soon,” Mayweather said. “We’ve been texting back and forth. We talked a couple times, so we gonna start working out real soon.”
Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs) announced his retirement from boxing following a lucrative bout against UFC star Conor McGregor in August. Since then, the 41-year-old has teased the idea of crossing over into the UFC on multiple occasions.
