Floyd Mayweather reveals price to return to the ring

KARACHI: Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather said that he would require $200 million to make a legal return to professional boxing.

Since defeating Conor McGregor in his 50th match in 2017, the boxing legend has not competed professionally. Sharing the ring with boxers like Manny Pacquiao, Canelo Alvarez, and Oscar De La Hoya, he had a phenomenal 50-0 record.

Recently, Mayweather has competed in exhibition matches, generating enormous sums of money for opponents like Tenshin Nasukawa, Logan Paul, and Don Moore. 

Speaking to Fight Hype, he said: "I’m still the most talked about motherf***** in boxing and I don’t even fight anymore. All I do is rob the bank and they’re going to continue to pay me. I got three more exhibitions this year, which could be one fight and fighting in two exhibitions. But guess what, you better know it’s at least and this is the lowest I’m talking about $200 million."

The date and time of Mayweather's upcoming fight with Japanese MMA standout Mikuru Asakura have already been made public. It will be his second profitable trip to Japan after defeating Nasukawa in 2018 to earn his professional boxing comeback.
