Mayweather Names Four Possible Opponents for a 2027 'Big Fight'

Floyd Mayweather has named four possible opponents for what he calls a "big fight" in 2027. None of them is a signed booking.

Speaking on a Wynn Records stream, Mayweather said, according to BoxingScene, Boxing News and talkSPORT:

"In 2027, I want a big fight. It could be Ryan Garcia, or it could be Oscar De La Hoya, or it could be Pacquiao, or it could be Conor McGregor."

Boxing News notes that three of those names are former opponents. Mayweather beat De La Hoya by split decision in 2007, Pacquiao by unanimous decision in 2015 and McGregor by 10th-round TKO in 2017, his last sanctioned pro fight. Garcia is the new name on the list. No fight with any of the four has been signed or scheduled.

The CSI Sports lawsuit remains part of the picture. BoxingScene reports Mayweather was hit this year with a multimillion-dollar lawsuit by CSI Sports. Boxing News frames his 2027 plans as still awaiting a green light after that case, and talkSPORT says he is believed to remain under contract with CSI and is unlikely to be allowed to fight until the dispute is resolved. Those are the outlets' characterizations of an ongoing legal matter, not a court ruling obtained by Boxbid.

Mayweather has also announced a Dec. 19 exhibition against Australia's Matt Floyd in Bangkok, which he has described as a tune-up. We covered that announcement on Nov. 1. talkSPORT cautions that the Bangkok date could itself be up in the air. The Ringside Whisperer had already flagged the 2027 name-drop as unsigned talk in a recent wire.

Kimster's take: four names and a year is a wish list, not a contract. Until someone files a bout, treat it as conversation. The one date he has actually put on a poster is still Dec. 19, and even that comes with an asterisk.

If any of these ever gets a date, make your call on Fight Picker.
