After beating Conor McGregor in a boxing ring last August, Floyd Mayweather has continued to tease a move to the Octagon after posting a series of videos on his Instagram account.
The 50-0 star posted a video of him entering the Octagon on his social media page before adding another wearing Paddy Power sponsored shorts and stating: “2018, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, MMA – what are the odds Paddy [Power]?”

In the build-up to Mayweather vs McGregor, ‘Money’ did not rule out a rematch in the future in MMA and UFC president, Dana White, confirmed the UFC was in negotiations earlier in the year regarding a multi-fight deal.
Despite losing in the boxing ring, McGregor believes the boxing rules saved his opponent from ‘the funeral home’ in a photoshopped image posted on his Instagram and that Mayweather would have no chance in MMA.
Shin bone to the cheek bone. The rule set kept you out the funeral home.

McGregor admitted he would love a chance to avenge his loss while speaking at a charity event in New York regarding his future in the UFC.
He said: “I’m currently in the negotiation stage. There are multiple opponents on the platform. Of course, I would love to get that one [against Floyd Mayweather] back.
“I felt I went into his realm and I felt handy early on, he had to wait for me to get tired.”
