Floyd Mayweather is seemingly looking towards bigger ventures after his fight against Logan Paul did not go ahead on the official date of February 20. The five-division champion has walked away from the initial date and hasn’t announced a new date to fight ‘Maverick’ as of yet.
However, he didn’t snub the contest entirely and several fans, including Logan Paul, are optimistic about the exhibition clash taking place. That said, Mayweather might have joined hands with UFC chief Dana White and RIZIN chief Nobu Sakakibara to launch a blockbuster fighting event.
Floyd Mayweather is well-known for staging blockbuster crossover fights, which we saw in 2017. Meanwhile, looking at the current scenario, we can envision him repeating the stance once again.
