In 2017, Floyd Mayweather announced his professional retirement after humiliating Conor McGregor in the boxing and mixed martial arts crossover duel. Although he made his return to the ring in June of this year against Logan Paul in an exhibition, he does not seem to have a chance to officially compete again, especially now that he has new activities to do.

Owner of his own boxing promotion, which has Gervonta Davis as its best letter of introduction, and of a nightclub in Las Vegas, the ring seems to have taken a back seat to former world champion. In fact, repeatedly Floyd Mayweather has expressed interest in entering the NBA and taking over one of the teams of the most important basketball league.
Now, according to “Forbes,” the lowest-cost institution currently is the Memphis Grizzlies, a team ranked ninth in the Western Conference with a 3-3 record at the start of this regular season. However, the 45 million dollars that make up the net worth of “Money”According to “Celebrity Net Worth,” they are not enough for the $ 1.3 billion it would cost to acquire Tennessee as a whole.
Of course, behind his interests with the NBA there is another objective that justifies all this. And it is that in an old interview with “ESPN” shortly after his retirement, he stated that he was going through an attempt to put aside gambling and the world of gambling and, since a team owner cannot bet, the logical step was to have your own and completely abandon gambling.
What colors convince the former boxer?
One might think that because he was born in Michigan, Floyd Mayweather it might have a preference to the Detroit Pistons, the only state team in the competition, but it doesn’t. According to his own statements, he does not have specific colors when choosing a team to buy in the future, but he would be content simply to own one.
It should be noted that many have seen approaches to the Los Angeles Lakers in the past, especially for his photo with Magic Johnson, another Michigan-born who was crowned five times with the Californians. However, years have passed since that meeting and there was no news about a chance to take the reins of the top NBA champion along with the Boston Celtics.
