Say what you like about Floyd Mayweather, he knows how to get himself a reaction.
Today, in the latest stage of Mayweather’s recent social media poking at UFC star and former opponent Conor McGregor, Mayweather uploaded a video of himself stepping into a mixed martial arts cage, simultaneously frustrating MMA fans while making us all imagine what would happen if it ever.. well, happened.
For a while there last year, it almost seemed as if the impossible could be brought into reality. Ahead of UFC 219, UFC president Dana White revealed that he had been in talks with Mayweather about potentially bringing in the undefeated boxer to the UFC. Add that to claims made by Mayweather that he could earn a billion dollars by fighting in MMA, and it was enough to bring some thought.
Well, that was until Mayweather himself went on record to say that White was doing nothing more than using Mayweather’s name to draw attention to the UFC ahead of television deal negotiations.
