When boxing legend Floyd Mayweather waged a war of words with UFC star Conor McGregor, few expected the trash talk to materialize into an actual fight. But it did, and Mayweather remained undefeated and cashed in on a nine-figure pay day.

Well, Mayweather's interest in shameless money grabs hasn't subsided since the McGregor fight. He's eyeing a deal with UFC now. Seriously.

On Tuesday, UFC commentator Joe Rogan revealed discussions he had with UFC president Dana White about Mayweather's interest in UFC. Rogan said that White called the boxing legend "crazy," but that didn't cool Mayweather's desire to fight in the Octagon. Rogan said on his podcast via Bleacher Report:

"Floyd talked about it, apparently. This is one thing I can tell you, Dana told me that Floyd wants to make a deal in the UFC. Like legitimately. So I texted him 'is Floyd really talking about fighting in MMA?' And he goes 'yeah, he's f-king crazy, I told him he'd get killed but he's still talking about doing it.'"

This was just Rogan passing on a conversation, but on Wednesday, White didn't exactly shut down those rumors. Quite the opposite.

The UFC head told ESPN that Mayweather is indeed working on making a jump to UFC happen.

"We're talking to Floyd about doing a UFC deal. It's real. He was talking about [boxing] Conor McGregor. Was that real? Have you heard Floyd talk about many things that aren't real? He usually tips his hand when he's in the media, and then that s- ends up happening.

"We're interested in doing something with Floyd. Everything is a realistic possibility. Mayweather vs. McGregor f-ing happened. Anything is possible."

There are plenty of reasons why this shouldn't happen. Mayweather turns 41 in February and has never fought MMA professionally. If a Mayweather move to UFC happened, there would be almost no chance that it would be against McGregor - UFC's lightweight champion. And I say "almost" only because the McGregor-Mayweather boxing fight actually happened.

The reason for it? Money. Mayweather did say that he thinks he could make a billion dollars in UFC.
