“It’s my wish and his (this fight). We have great respect for Floyd Mayweather and he is one of the greatest boxing athletes in history. He tested himself against a YouTuber heavier than him, so why not Anderson Silva? It would break all pay-per-view records. We would like to do. It has everything to do.” (h/t MMA Mania)
Prior to facing the Tito Ortiz, ‘Spider’ even locked horns with a pro-boxing star, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., and won. This itself showed that age is just a number for the UFC great, who has enough left in the tank to thrive in the ring.
That said, if Silva gets his hands on Floyd Mayweather, it might do down as one of the toughest tests for ‘TBE’. The Brazilian fighter is skilled in his own way and can conquer anyone.

Mayweather last fought Logan Paul in an exhibition in June 2021. Post that, he has shown less interest in doing a fight once again.
Despite that, Silva’s coach is optimistic about this fight breaking all the records, but before that, this contest will have to get set on papers. Furthermore, it will have to be an exhibition as ‘Money’ isn’t keen on pro bouts.
