Floyd Mayweather Jr. has enjoyed his sports wagers, but the retired boxing champion now has his sights set on owning a piece of the action.
"You guys know I like to bet on sports, but I'm looking forward to stepping back from betting on sports now," Mayweather said at a press conference for the upcoming fight between Ashley Theophane and Adrien Broner. "I'm looking forward to probably getting into ownership of an NBA team."
He doesn't yet have a particular team in mind, though, saying: "I don't really know right now."
Mayweather has expressed interest in owning a basketball team before, claiming he was putting together a group to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014.
