Just days before his 49th birthday, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has announced that he will end his retirement and resume his professional boxing career after his spring 2026 boxing exhibition with Mike Tyson
Mayweather has signed an exclusive agreement with CSI Sports/Fight Sports as his promoter for the next stage of his career.

"I still have what it takes to set more records in the sport of boxing," Mayweather said in a written statement to ESPN. "From my upcoming Mike Tyson event to my next professional fight afterwards -- no one will generate a bigger gate, have a larger global broadcast audience and generate more money with each event -- then my events. And I plan to keep doing it with my global media partner, CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS."
Mayweather retired from boxing at the age of 40 after his August 2017 knockout win over MMA star Conor McGregor, running his record to a perfect 50-0 with 27 wins by stoppage. He has since competed in several exhibition boxing matches with the likes of Logan Paul, Mikuru Asakura and John Gotti III.
It was announced last September that Mayweather and Tyson would meet in an exhibition match in spring 2026. There have been reports that the fight will take place on April 25 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, but ESPN could not confirm the fight would take place on that date, and no network has been established to carry the fight.
Mayweather has been in the news over the past few weeks as he filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Showtime earlier this month. Mayweather claims that he is owed "at least" $340 million from his reported $1.2 billion in career fight purses.

Mayweather would be returning to a sport with a completely new set of competitors that are nearly half his age. However, the recent return of Manny Pacquiao to the pro ranks would suggest that a much-talked-about rematch between the two fighters after their 2015 meeting could take place as a professional boxing match.
"Signing Floyd Mayweather to un-retire after he captures another world-wide audience with his Mike Tyson match-up, highlights our commitment to providing our global audience with the most high-profile fighters in the sport," Richard and Craig Miele, co-founders of CSI Sports/Fight Sports, said in a written statement. "Floyd will once again continue to dominate boxing with the biggest audience and highest gross events of all time, and we are proud and privileged to be able to do with our global team at CSI Sports/FIGHT SPORTS. We look forward to even more announcements that will excite fans and continue to build the sport in 2026!

He definitely is having some sort of money issues!!

THAT is shocking and very very sad.
I guess it was a lie about him having other businesses and investments or they probably failed to the point his money dried up.Mayweather Jr. to unretire, resume boxing after Tyson exhibition

Besides nobody wants to see him fight being past his prime.
I guess he'll be doing a lot of exhibition boxing matches.
Jake Paul probably already giving him a call about a fight on netflix.

Right, blaming and suing someone else for his money issues when he was saying for years how built his own brand being his own boss.
SO, he's trying to looks for a fall guy to sue to try to get some money not having smart people around him to make sure his money was straight and his contracts were good.
SO, how does Al haymon have something to do with a brand that he wasn't around when mayeather would always walking around yelling "TBE"

Yup, we saw what happened to Muhammad Ali after years of abuse in the ring taking so many punches to the head that he suffered from parkinson's disease.At some point he gon get fucked up.
The thing is he isn't suing Al Haymon which is odd since he's the one that Floyd alleges robbed him.
Only Showtime and Espinosa are named on the lawsuit.
He's not winning that case against showtime & Epinosa. But either way, good luck.
my bad I misunderstood if he aint suing Hyman?
I'm good.
Nope, at least not yet.
But I can't see a court allowing a lawsuit to proceed without Haymon being added since Floyd is only accusing Showtime and Espinosa by misdirecting his money to Haymon.
Unless something has changed -Al Haymon is not named as a defendant, despite being accused in the filing of perpetrating the fraud with the network's assistance. The suit targets Showtime and executive Stephen Espinoza, rather than Haymon directly.
But, but he bought 62 building in Harlem
Black face some Jew ownership more than likely
Black face some Jew ownership more than likely
apples and oranges.... getting ripped off or over extending yourself doesn't negate a real estate purchase
besides if done right those properties should be servicing their own debt taxes and maintance
might as well fight the white boy Jake and see if he can get like 20-40 million; but the issue isnt him having his faculties and shit; the issue is he blows money; so if he makes 100 mill, he probably gonna blow that too...
But the good thing here is he kept himself disciplined physically, stays in shape and has his faculties so he can make a few money grabs and retire again without damaging his legacy too much.
Hes saying he was ripped off but that doesnt mean he was...
imo - its really a shakedown to get $$ out of paramount
what I was told 10 years ago - was that Floyd was spending excessivly but worse he was gambling excessivly tooI guess it was a lie about him having other businesses and investments or they probably failed to the point his money dried up.
Besides nobody wants to see him fight being past his prime.
I guess he'll be doing a lot of exhibition boxing matches.
so around when TMT was formed Haymon along with a few others started managing Floyd's finances as trustees
Yeah, Floyd was always a crazy spender thinking the money was gonna outlast him the way he was spending it. Dude owe so much money that he gotta come out of retirement. He should've had discipline people around him to tell him no instead of having yes men with the way he was spending money.

So do you really think he purchased all those buildings , some?, fronting, or quietly partnering up with someone? Reason I ask is cause it seems some have seem to say he was doing some fronting when it came to certain things
this is always going on behind the scenes in that world
even in a straight legit deal one or both parties will be cleaning for themselves or others
I dont think he can sue Haymon based off the way their contracts were written
I doubt that's possible, you can sue anyone.
Especially if he really believes Haymon robbed him.
Unless the contracts state they have agreed to arbitration if their is a dispute instead of going to court.
I remembered that thread, I was trying to give him props but I was fooled being wrong thinking he was doing something until all this came out and now he's suing people because he lost a lot of money.
Looks like 50 was right and Floyd is hurting for money if he's coming out of retirement.
It's hard to sustain such an extravagant lifestyle once the money stops coming in. He needs to simplify things.

This explains it a bit more but of course there are other layers that will be exposed as time goes by
50 is always right when it involves these finance situations, where the fuck you been?
