LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather said Saturday night that if he elects to come out of retirement, it will be to fight in the UFC.

While promoting his Showtime-televised tripleheader ringside at The Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Mayweather told the network’s Jim Gray that “retirement has been great, but as you know and everyone knows, I go in retirement and I come back.”

“It is possible I do come back, but if I do come back, it has to be in the Octagon,” Mayweather said. “I spoke with my team. I spoke with [adviser] Al Haymon. Al Haymon says no. I spoke with Showtime. I spoke with [Showtime parent company] CBS. If I do come back, Showtime and CBS have to be involved.”

Mayweather did not specify who he would want to fight, but UFC star Conor McGregor would be the biggest bout.

McGregor crossed over to boxing in August, and Mayweather knocked him out in the 10th round of the second-highest grossing fight in history. But McGregor faces various legal charges for his rampage that left fighters injured and a bus window broken during an incident at the Barclays Center in New York ahead of Saturday night’s UFC 223 card.

“I feel that when you have reached such high status, you have to carry yourself in a classy way,” Mayweather said of McGregor. “Outside the ring, you have to carry yourself as a gentleman.”

If Mayweather goes into an MMA fight, he said it would be at 145 pounds. When he boxed McGregor, they did the fight at 154 pounds.

Asked again if he would come back, Mayweather responded, “Absolutely. If the money is right. You got to talk to Showtime, CBS. The money is going to be crazy. I can do whatever I want to do. I’m Floyd Mayweather.”

UFC president Dana White says Floyd Mayweather “knows the money’s right” and that’s why he’s entertaining the idea of fighting inside the Octagon.

Speaking following UFC 223 in New York, UFC president Dana White said he’s sure Mayweather would be well-compensated if he decided to fight in the UFC.

“[Mayweather] knows the money’s right,” White told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto. “I’m pretty confident that this will happen.”

One thing Mayweather said is certain is that he is done with boxing.

“I would not box again,” he said.

When he officially retired in 2015, Floyd “Money” Mayweather hung up his boxing gloves with a perfect record. But lately, the undefeated boxer seems to be taking a few L’s outside of the ring; at the manicured hands of ex-fiancée Shantel Jackson no less.

According to TMZ reports, the former athlete is filing a lawsuit against Jackson for alleged theft: the use of his credit cards and loose cash she found at his residence without his knowledge. Not only did she go on secret shopping sprees on his dime, Mayweather is also accusing Jackson of hiding the loot at an undisclosed location.

Coming off the heels of a home burglary not even a month ago, Money Mayweather seems to be struggling to keep up with his namesake– but back to the topic at hand.

The infamous athlete claims that Jackson supported him in the face of media backlash, to blind him to her triflin’ ways. Coupled with insinuations that the reality star used him for clout, it seems Mayweather got played to the tune of Kanye West’s “Gold Digger”.

But in sis’ defense, it remains questionable whether it was truly theft; they were in a committed relationship, sharing an address and about to share a last name. It’s hard to say with all of the zeroes attached to his bank account, so let’s do some simple math to make this scenario more relatable.

If we subtract the million-dollar net worth, substitute the black card for $20 lying on the kitchen table, and add in the financial struggles of a regular couple, does the situation still equal a lawsuit?

If they were splitting the rent and he was still using her cousin’s Netflix account, I would hope he wouldn’t trip over Jackson borrowing $10 gas money. Then again, I’m sure Jackson’s alleged shopping sprees equate to premium gas in a Lambourghini, and Floyd could buy the entire Netflix corporation.

These aren’t regular schmegular people we’re talking about, so perhaps Mayweather is entitled to his lawsuit. But so is Shantel, who filed against him in 2014 for multiple counts of invasion of privacy, defamation, and domestic abuse.

Mayweather reportedly filed for this lawsuit only a few days prior to receiving a trial date for Jackson’s lawsuit against him.

Sounds more like he’s moving to the beat of 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P.”

Personally? I hope she wears a few pearls to the hearings.
