Floyd Mayweather, Jr. announced on social media that he would be coming out of retirement. The announcement coincided with photos of himself and Dana White sitting courtside at a Los Angeles Clippers game.
Perhaps the two just trolling the combat sports industry. Or, Floyd may be giving Zuffa Boxing a boost with lending his name and brand to an upstart boxing company Dana White promised fans.

News came out this summer that Zuffa Boxing made a hire to run that side of the business. White also indicated that Zuffa Boxing would be up and running in October. However, that has not happened.
Payout Perspective:
Could we really be seeing Floyd Mayweather return to the ring under the Zuffa Boxing banner? The two worked together on the Mayweather-McGregor fight and it would not be out of the question that White would want Floyd to work with the company in some manner. But its hard to believe that Floyd would box competitively again. We should see in 2020.
