Okay, so I’ve been trying to figure out when Floyd Mayweather’s next fight is, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. Here’s what I went through to get to the bottom of it.
Digging for Clues
First off, I started where everyone starts these days – the internet. I hit up all the usual sports news sites, trying to find any recent info about Mayweather’s next move. You know, the man’s a legend, but he’s not getting any younger, so I figured there had to be some talk about his next exhibition match. I mean, those earnings from his career is $1.1 billion, wow!
Rumors and Speculation
Initially, I stumbled upon some rumors that got me pretty excited. There was this buzz about him potentially facing off against Victor Ortiz again. Now, if you remember their first fight, it was a wild one, full of controversy. The thought of them going at it again definitely piqued my interest. I spent a good chunk of time looking into this, checking out forums and fan pages to see what the boxing community was saying. It seemed like a real possibility, and I was already imagining the hype around that rematch. This rumor also involved a guy named George Glinski, who I think is involved in promoting or something, but I couldn’t nail down specifics.
The December 9th Lead
Then, things got a bit more concrete. I came across a report, and I think it was from a pretty reliable source, saying that Mayweather was scheduled to have his next exhibition fight on December 9, 2023. And get this – it was supposedly going to be in Las Vegas, at a Showtime PPV event. Now that sounded legit! Las Vegas is practically Mayweather’s second home when it comes to boxing, and Showtime PPV? That’s big-time. I was pretty convinced at this point that I had cracked the case.
Another Twist: John Gotti III
But, as it often happens with these things, there was another twist. I found out that Mayweather actually had an exhibition bout scheduled before December, and it was against John Gotti III. This was supposed to be a rematch of a fight they had in June 2023, which ended in a crazy brawl after the referee stopped it in the sixth round. It’s this Saturday, apparently. I’ll need to keep an eye on that! Anyway, this match is happening in Mexico City, at the Arena CDMX.
Putting It All Together
So, here’s what I’ve pieced together from my detective work:
- There’s a strong chance Mayweather will fight on December 9, 2023, in Las Vegas, though it’s still officially unconfirmed.
- The potential rematch with Victor Ortiz is a hot rumor, but it’s not set in stone.
- Mayweather is definitely fighting John Gotti III in Mexico City this Saturday, which could give us hints about his form and future plans.
In conclusion, it looks like Mayweather is keeping busy with these exhibition bouts. Whether it’s Ortiz, Gotti III, or someone else next, I’m definitely going to be watching. This whole process of trying to find out his next fight has been a bit of a wild ride, but hey, that’s part of the fun of being a boxing fan, right?
