I saw the latest news today, that is, the former 5 division world champion Floyd Mayweather plans to announce his comeback on May 15. He could start an exhibition bout in Mexico, and his goal is simple: to improve his winning streak to 51 wins. There is a theory that Mayweather saw Tyson come back to fight Jack Paul, and then he also wanted to fight another money war to make another big profit. Because of the 58-year-old Tyson's match with Jack Paul, it is expected that Tyson will have an income of about $200 million. This must have been a huge temptation for Mayweather. Because he tasted the sweetness of a crossover fight with UFC double champion Conor McGregor before, he earned more than $200 million.
Little is known about Mayweather's comeback match. Because Mayweather likes to announce the details of his fight, fans will have to wait until May 15, when Mayweather makes the announcement, to know about the fight. According to the information currently available in the media, Mayweather may start this exhibition match in Mexico, and the opponent of the match is currently widely believed to be Ortiz, but this news is currently only rumored and has not been confirmed by anything.
Judging by the timing of Mayweather's comeback, the 50-fight winning streak is still very discerning and very good at seizing the moment. Because from a strategic point of view, now is the perfect time for Mayweather to make a comeback. Because the overall environment of boxing is getting better now, Saudi tycoons have mobilized the enthusiasm of fans through this series of matches, such as Joshua VS Nagano, such as Wilder VS Zhang Zhilei, such as Tyson Fury VS Usyk.
In fact, not only in Saudi Arabia, but also in Las Vegas, Alvarez vs. Monguia, also had good results. With more than 500,000 PPV sold in this match, and Mike Tyson will face influencer Jake Paul on July 20, it means that fan enthusiasm for boxing is at an all-time high. So Mayweather chose to make a comeback at this time, which was a very wise choice.
However, judging from Mayweather's recent developments, he has been immersed in leisure time interacting with his grandson some time ago. And Mayweather just celebrated his 47th birthday, and I wonder if he will be able to maintain a high level of competition when he walks into the ring again, which is very much worth looking forward to. It is worth mentioning that in addition to Mayweather, many superstars who have faded out of boxing have begun to seek to return, such as Manny Pacquiao, such as Wilder, and it seems that this year's boxing circle will be a very lively place.
