Floyd Mayweather doesn’t want to be a 1-and-done in 2020 — our sources tell us he’s targeting TWO fights next year … one against a pro-boxer and another against a UFC star.
Nothing is set in stone yet … it’s all being worked out and the situation is very fluid. But, for now, we’re being told one name that’s being seriously considered is Manny Pacquiao.
Floyd has been interested in a rematch for years and he feels the time is right — especially with Manny being healthy and coming off a great victory over Keith Thurman.
It’s also worth noting that Manny is no longer repped by Bob Arum and is now a part of Al Haymon‘s promotion. Hayman famously works closely with Mayweather.
As for the UFC component, we’re told Floyd wants another boxing match with a UFC star, preferably someone who has impressed with stand-up striking skills.
Floyd has already teased a UFC crossover after hanging with Dana White at the Clippers game on Nov. 20 … unclear if they spoke about potential opponents.

Conor McGregor has expressed interest in a rematch and has spelled out why he thinks he will be successful a second time around.
Floyd also called out Khabib in 2018 — but he’s notorious for his ground game … so based on what we’re being told, he’s not the priority.
As for dates, we’re told Floyd wants to fight in May and again in Sept. — and he’s even thrown out the possibility of fighting at the new Raiders stadium in Las Vegas.
Again, it’s all very fluid and could change with the wind … but for now, we’re told this is the starting point.
