Floyd Mayweather surprised everyone with his statement of his decision to invest in football.

The American boxer showed his interest in buying the English club of Newcastle and the news made the round of the world in all sports media.

Mayweather, who after the game with Conor McGregor entered the group of the wealthiest athletes, said business investment is something that is done with the mind and not with the heart, adding that if someone is to propose a plan that can earn income at this point, then he will take this step. “Football is probably not my sport, but I have contacts all over the world,” Mayweather added.

Mayweather’s statement came at a moment when Newcastle’s owner Mike Ashley is looking for a club buyer, which according to Transfermarkt has a value of 157 million euros or 193 million dollars. But Newcastle is not the only club that Mayweather can afford to buy. Mayweather can afford to buy such heavyweight clubs in European football such as Atletico Madrid, Schalke, Milan, Benfica or Sevilla.
