Floyd Mayweather in talks with UFC boss Dana White over ‘billion dollar’ fight contract
MMA commentator and podcast host Joe Rogan has revealed talks between the Money Man and the Las Vegas promoter
FLOYD MAYWEATHER is ready to start a new career in MMA according to UFC boss Dana White.
UFC commentator Joe Rogan – a close friend of White - revealed the incredible news on his podcast after a conversation with MMA kingpin.
Five-division boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr who retired on 50-0 in August after a final fight with UFC hero Conor McGregor recently claimed he had been offered mad money to switch codes.
The brash American claimed he had been offered one billion dollars – close to £745m – to move into the octagon on a multi-fight deal.
And Rogan has backed up those claims by revealed that Money Man and White are in conversation about an amazing link-up.
Rogan said on his podcast: “Floyd talked about it.
“This is one thing I can tell you: Dana told me that Floyd wants to make a deal in the UFC.
“Like legitimately. I texted him, I go ‘Is Floyd really talking about fighting MMA?’

“He goes ‘Yeah, he’s f****** crazy.
“I told him he’d get killed. But he’s still talking about doing it.”
Mayweather’s first encouraging statement on an MMA move came in a social media video posted last week.
Pretty Boy said: “If I want, I can go, I can come right back to the UFC, I can go fight in the Octagon.
“I can do a three or four fight deal in the Octagon and make a billion dollars.”
