Former five-division world champion Floyd Mayweather was present at the Las Vegas Grand Prix on Saturday as Max Verstappen clinched his fourth Formula 1 world championship with a relaxed fifth-place finish. It was a stellar showdown where Mercedes delivered an impressive performance as George Russell and the relentless Lewis Hamilton got the one-two finish. Meanwhile, Verstappen was only focused on keeping Lando Norris at bay to secure his title.

It looks like, Floyd Mayweather, a well-known motorsport enthusiast, loved his time at the track. He shared a series of videos from the event on his Instagram story. However, on Thursday, ‘Money’ made several heads turn when he posted a story teasing his F1 debut soon.

Floyd Mayweather in Abu Dhabi?

The 47-year-old uploaded a story on his Instagram expressing how much he enjoyed his time at the Las Vegas Grand Prix. The picture showcased the 50-0 legend on the podium. He was rocking his all-black tracksuit while also sporting one of his lavish chains.

However, the caption on the picture caught the fans’ attention: “F1 in Las Vegas. I’m thinking about racing in Abu Dhabi,” teasing a new sports venture for the legendary boxer. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will occur on Sunday, 8 December, at the Yas Marina Circuit. If Floyd Mayweather also decides to debut at the Yas Marina Circuit, it will mark one of the most historic races considering everything that is on stake.

It is a crucial and significant race considering this will be the last time Lewis Hamilton will race for Mercedes before switching to Ferrari for 2025. It will be the end of a 12-year partnership that saw him earn six drivers’ titles and eight constructors’ championships. On the other hand, Ferrari and McLaren will be fighting each other to end their championship drought. The inclusion of Mayweather will surely increase the stake and legacy of this upcoming race.

Furthermore, this move by the 50-0 boxer was rather expected and not surprising. Being the richest boxer in the world with a net worth of approximately $450 million, Mayweather has been making strides in several sports since his retirement. The Michigan native has been a long-time motorsport fan and even has his own team in NASCAR, and has mapped out its future.

Future of TMT Racing

Floyd Mayweather launched his official NASCAR team, ‘The Money Team Racing (TMT Racing) back in 2022. It officially made its debut in the 2022 Daytona 500, with driver Kaz Grala, piloting the No.50 Chevrolet. The number is iconic and symbolic and represents Mayweather’s undefeated boxing streak of 50-0.

Since then, the team has raced in selective races and is trying to establish itself as a competitive team in the circuit. With the team being led by Tony Eury Jr., a veteran crew chief, and Co-owner William Auchmoody, who serves as the team’s general manager, TMT Racing has been trying to establish its place in the highly competitive world of NASCAR.

While there are no solid reports, there is a high chance that if Floyd Mayweather decided to debut in F1, it might be with TMT Racing. With just a few days left for the final race of 2024, we will get the answers soon from Floyd Myaweather’s team.
