Floyd Mayweather’s ‘The Money Team Racing’ has announced that it will be competing in the NASCAR Cup Series in 2022. Following that, the boxing phenom took to Twitter and shared news regarding their new driver, Conor Daly.
Mayweather wrote, “I’d like to welcome @ConorDaly22 to the TMT Racing Family. Looking forward to a great finish this week at the NASCAR Roval in Charlotte. Special thanks to our new partner @ToddAultIII for his support. Let’s get it!”
However, fans’ reactions to Mayweather’s post about his NASCAR team are not as he must have expected. Here are some of the comments made by fans.
Didn’t know that you still invested. I thought you bounced with the way the team doesn’t show up for half the races as planned let alone is a next to last car. 🤔

New developments arise for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor rematch
Mayweather and Conor McGregor first faced each other in 2017, which also marked the former’s retirement from professional boxing. The American boxer extended his record to a perfect 50-0 by defeating the Irishman via a 10th-round knockout. Fans have been anticipating a rematch since then. It seems that the rematch is a step closer to its fruition, but there is some change of plans.

The five-division boxing champ announced some time back that he will go up against ‘The Notorious One’ in 2023. However, reports reveal that the sequel will have two fights. The first clash will be in a boxing ring, while the second fight would be inside the Octagon.
Apparently, the two fights are rumored to be worth a staggering $1.5 billion. Also, Mayweather might have to put his undefeated record at risk for this magnanimous showdown. The two clashes could take place in Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia in 2023.

Some fans are speculating that the ‘pretty boy’ of boxing will withdraw from the second fight, which would take place inside the Octagon. Getting inside the cage against McGregor with his professional record on the line might become a problem for Mayweather. But only time will tell how this situation plays out.
