Floyd Mayweather ‘is back in boxing ring because he got swindled out of a LOT of money’

Mar 14, 2017

FLOYD MAYWEATHER has come out of retirement because he was “scammed out of a lot of money”, according to MMA star Michael Bisping.

The UFC middleweight champion made the staggering claims on his The Countdown which he hosts alongside Luis J Gomez on Sirius XM.

Bisping said he heard from a trusted source that Mayweather – who is reportedly worth around £510million – had been conned out of a massive sum of money.

Bisping said: “I was talking to someone in Las Vegas and I heard that Floyd recently got scammed out of a lot of money.

“The number was very, very big. I don’t think Floyd needs the money, but he wants to replace this money that he got swindled out of.”

And Bisping is sure the superfight WILL happen as the money on offer will be impossible to turn down.

Bisping said: “My bet is that the fight will happen.

“Will it happen in June? I don’t know, that might be a bit too soon.

"Both guys stand to make a s***-tonne of money out of it. I’m all for it to be honest.

"I’m looking forward to seeing it and I’m all for everybody making money, so good for them.

"You have to agree on a purse and then UFC have to agree on a split.

"The UFC are business people as well and WME (new UFC owners), if the pot is big enough, then they’re not going to say no.”

There has been lots of speculation on when the undefeated legendary fighter would pull on the gloves again.

It emerged earlier that the clash has been pencilled in for June 10, with Flo Combat reporting that the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas had been reserved for the mega fight.
