Mayweather is a Michigan native but his home for the last several years has been Las Vegas.
It very much makes sense that he wants to own a team in Las Vegas.
Earlier this week, LeBron James said he wants to pursue ownership of an eventual NBA team in Las Vegas.
âJames is part of Fenway Sports Group, which owns the Boston Red Sox among other properties, and reportedly has interest in a Vegas NBA team. An NBA spokesperson denied the report at the time, but the mayor of Las Vegas confirmed the cityâs interest in an NBA team and having been in communication with commissioner Adam Silver.â
This should be fun to follow.
