Earlier this week, it was announced that Mexican boxing star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez had signed a history-making $365 million deal with the sports streaming service DAZN. This deal, which spans 10 fights and 5 years, is one of the most lucrative in sports history, no matter how you swing it. Apparently, however, it’s still not enough to impress Mr. Moneybags himself, Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather shared his thoughts on Canelo’s new deal in an Instagram post on Thursday afternoon.

Floyd Mayweather saw the frenzied brawl that unfurled shortly after Khabib Nurmagomedov submitted Conor McGregor at UFC 229, and he’s not impressed. In his eyes, it’s important for fighters to comport themselves like professionals, inside and outside the ring. The undefeated boxer, who has recently been mentioned as a potential opponent for Khabib Nurmagomedov, discussed the UFC champion’s post-fight actions in a recent interview with TMZ.

Shortly after UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Conor McGregor in the UFC 229 main event, he called for a fight with another undefeated fighter: boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. “Hey let’s go Floyd, we have to fight now,” Khabib Nurmagomedov said. “50-0 versus 27-0. Two guys who never lose. Let’s go. Why not? Because in the jungle only one king. Only one king. Of course I am the king. Because he [Mayweather] cannot drop McGregor, but I drop him easily. Let’s fight. Let’s go.”

Earlier this year, one of the hottest topics in combat sports was boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s potential move to MMA. Mayweather and his team repeatedly expressed interest in a move to the UFC’s Octagon, while UFC President Dana White suggested there had been negotiations between the boxer and the promotion, and UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley even offered to train the boxer. Well, it sounds like we can finally put all of that talk to bed. For now, at least.

“I started training [for MMA] But then I had to start focusing back on promoting these fighters. ‘Cause these fighters I want these fighters to surpass me not be like me. To be in the sport and make over a billion dollars, I didn’t do it by myself.”

Tom Taylor - May 18, 2018

For a time, Floyd Mayweather’s potential move to the perilous world of mixed martial arts was all anybody was talking about. When Mayweather suggested that he’d be preparing for this undeniably risky career change under the tutelage of UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, buzz about his MMA move reached a deafening crescendo. Over the last few weeks, however, this talk has quieted down significantly. Mayweather and his camp have grown quiet about a potential MMA move, and the fans seem to have lost interest in seeing it happen.

In the year 2018, when so few things seem to make any sense, one of the most talked about stories in combat sports has been undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather’s potential move to MMA. While this narrative was initially met with widespread skepticism, Mayweather, his team, and even UFC President Dana White have continued to throw gas on the fire, assuring that it could actually happen. White’s latest comments on Floyd Mayweather’s possible move to MMA occurred on The Jim Rome Show, where he once again claimed it was a real possibility. On the show, White explained why he can envision an MMA rematch between Mayweather and UFC star Conor McGregor, who the boxer defeated in the ring back in August.
