周三凌晨，UFC主席达纳·怀特在社交媒体上发布了一张自己、弗洛伊德·梅威瑟以及第三位重要人物的照片，引发了粉丝们的猜测。

加入梅威瑟和怀特在图像是Rizin的首席执行官Nobuyuki Sakakibara。2018年，里津帮助上演了50比0的拳击手和自由搏击选手天shin Nasukawa之间臭名昭著的表演，这位美国人轻松获胜。

《华盛顿邮报》引发了许多人的猜测，是否会有一个涉及这三个人的重大宣布即将到来，这反过来又让一些人怀疑，梅威瑟和YouTube名人洛根·保罗的对决——原本定于今年早些时候进行，但被推迟了——现在是否会发生。

一些人怀疑，44岁的梅威瑟是否会再次复出，参加一场正式的拳击赛。

梅威瑟和怀特在2019年底举行了会晤，讨论了合作的可能性，即只让COVID-19大流行搁置任何计划。

怀特去年告诉ESPN:“在我们讨论一起做一些事情之后，(由于COVID-19)世界崩溃了。”

然而，随着人们逐渐开始回归拳击和综合格斗赛事，这些讨论似乎又重新活跃起来。

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)]Joining Mayweather and White in the image is Rizin CEO Nobuyuki Sakakibara. Rizin helped stage the infamous exhibition between the 50-0 boxer and kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in 2018, which the American won with ease.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)]Mayweather and White met in late 2019 to discuss the possibility of working together only for the COVID-19 pandemic to shelve any plans.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.72)]“The world imploded [as a result of COVID-19] after we were talking about doing some things together,” White told ESPN last year.
