I wanna challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom if you dont take this fight your scared and you will never live it down. Who is willing to put on the fight? @danawhite ?

Having fought a fellow celebrity, Logan Paul, Floyd Mayweather stated that he had no interest in fighting either of them. However, he didn’t mention that he would be willing to act as a promoter to make the fight a reality.
He said, “Well, I don’t really wanna get in any business, but if they bring me in as a promoter then I could talk about it. But until then I gotta stay in my lane, gotta stay in my business.”
Additionally, when questioned about who he believes would emerge victorious, Mayweather stayed diplomatic and said, “No, once again I gotta stay in my lane, gotta stay in my business.”
