White: Mayweather in talks for UFC deal
Warning: Story contains coarse language
Could a second round of Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor be on the horizon?
The undefeated boxing great is in discussions with the UFC to make a move into mixed martial arts, Dana White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto.
"We're talking to Floyd about doing a UFC deal," White said. "It's real. He was talking about (boxing) Conor McGregor. Was that real? Have you heard Floyd talk about many things that aren't real? He usually tips his hand when he's in the media and then that s--- ends up happening.
"We're interested in doing something with Floyd. Everything is a realistic possibility. Mayweather vs. McGregor f---ing happened. Anything is possible."
The 40-year-old took on McGregor - the UFC's biggest name - in a boxing superfight in August. Mayweather won via TKO in the 10th round and the event generated more than $600 million in revenue.
Mayweather said last week that he could earn $1 billion if he signed a "three- or four-fight deal" with the UFC.
