Mayweather: Signing Zion Williamson to The Money Team 'would be great'
It sounds like Floyd Mayweather Jr. could be among those vying to represent Duke star Zion Williamson.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, Mayweather said he's been working with an NBA agent and is looking to expand Mayweather Promotions, also known as The Money Team, beyond boxing. He was then asked about the possibility of signing Williamson.
"We look forward to signing different athletes. Zion would be great," Mayweather said. "The only thing I want to do is give these young athletes advice. Then I'll give them some game. If they're signed to me, I give you game, so you can still live the same life once you're retired - once you're off the court or off the field.
"... If Zion signs with me, you got my word that he will have a comfortable life when he's on the court and off the court."
Rapper and Roc Nation Sports founder Jay-Z has also shown interest in Williamson recently, sitting courtside at Duke's Jan. 22 win over Pittsburgh.
