Floyd in talks with CBS about comeback, rules out GGG

Right now, I’m happy being on this side [of the ropes], but I’ve been talking with CBS and Showtime, and you just never know,” Mayweather told Showtime’s Jim Gray on Saturday. “But right now, I’m happy on this side.” “As of right now, some crazy numbers have been thrown my way, upwards of, of course, nine figures,” Mayweather added. “I’m truly blessed, way beyond belief. I’m taking my time, I don’t really know what we’re going to do, but right now, I’m happy being on this side, helping fighters.”

Evidence that Mayweather is tempted by just that scenario was presented Sunday by ESPN’s Darren Rovell, who reported that, in April, a company owned by the fighter filed for trademarks on “TMT 50? and “TBE 50.” Both “TMT” (“The Money Team”) and “TBE” (The Best Ever”) are phrases that Mayweather has associated with himself, and as for “50,” well, it’s not hard to connect the dots.

Reasoning that “the window is cracked here a little bit,” Gray pressed Mayweather on some hypothetical opponents. Not surprisingly, if disappointingly, the ever-cautious fighter seemed to rule out Gennady “GGG” Golovkin, the undefeated Kazakh middleweight who many view as the most exciting fighter in the game today.

Mayweather repeated his previously stated assertion that Golovkin should face Andre Ward, presumably with the latter coming down in weight, rather Mayweather himself going up to a weight (160 pounds) at which he’s never fought. However, he appeared to be more receptive to Gray’s suggestion of Danny Garcia, the 32-0 WBC welterweight champion.
