ProboxTV\u2019s championship series is now on the ProBoxTV YouTube channel for $5\/month.<\/p>\n

Ryan Garcia has responded to reports that he is in talks for a fight with 49-year-old Floyd Mayweather by insisting it would have to be a licensed bout for it to go ahead.<\/p>\n

Mayweather, 50-0 (27 KOs), retired following a somewhat farcical victory over the 0-1 Conor McGregor in 2017 but has competed in several exhibitions since.<\/p>\n

The proposed matchup, yet another example of boxing being too reliant on yesterday\u2019s heroes to generate crossover interest, was first reported by Fight Hype.<\/p>\n

Garcia is one of a handful of active fighters capable of drawing serious audiences to the sport. Even so, he is nowhere near as \u2018big\u2019 as Mayweather once was.<\/p>\n

Those heady days for \u201cMoney\u201d were a long time ago, however.<\/p>\n

One of the highest-paid athletes in history, and the highest-paid boxer of all time, Mayweather amassed an estimated fortune of $1.16 billion during his glittering career.<\/p>\n

Recent reports, however, have suggested it has all but run dry.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether Mayweather would risk his precious unbeaten record against a 28-year-old who is seemingly at the peak of his powers. Furthermore, it has been 11 years since he last fought at welterweight, where Garcia holds the WBC belt.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay Floyd let\u2019s see how much you love that zero,\u201d Garcia posted on X in reference to Mayweather\u2019s unbeaten record.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd no I wouldn\u2019t do an exhibition, I want his record on the fucking line.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow much does he actually think he has got left? I\u2019m ready Floyd, remember you made this call.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just returning the favor. Offer is on the table. Accept or not, if not I move forward as I have been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayweather\u2019s alleged financial troubles resulted in a lawsuit being filed against him by CSI Sports Events after he attempted to move forward with fights against Manny Pacquiao and Mike Tyson.<\/p>\n

The dispute also led to a proposed exhibition with kickboxer Mike Zambidis being cancelled just days before it was due to take place in Greece.<\/p>\n

David Benavidez has no shortage of HUGE fights on his radar.

But there\u2019s another name that could make things very interesting: Andy Ruiz Jr. Jose discusses the possibility of an all-Mexican showdown between Benavidez and the former heavyweight champion, along with David\u2019s plans across multiple divisions. And with a potential Jai Opetaia showdown also building after the pair came face-to-face following Opetaia\u2019s latest victory, Benavidez has some massive options ahead.<\/p>\n
