Floyd Mayweather just can’t bear to be out of the news.
The “Money” man recently told Reuters that he’s finished as a boxer, although he’s open to participating in more exhibitions.
On Thursday, the 42-year-old announced this on his Instagram account: “Coming out of retirement in 2020.” And on the preceding post, he said this: “@danawhite and I working together again to bring the world another spectacular event in 2020.”
Of course, that could mean a lot of things. Maybe he’s talking about one of those exhibitions, although that wouldn’t be coming out of retirement. Maybe he plans to face another MMA fighter, who, like Conor McGregor, would stand no chance of beating him. Maybe he’s planning to box again. Manny Pacquiao?
The timing is weird given that Mayweather is one of the promoters of the Deontay Wilder-Luis Ortiz card Saturday in Las Vegas. Why would he want to take attention away from that?
Stay tuned.
