Floyd Mayweather has stepped away from discussions about owning an NBA team in Las Vegas, Hoops Wire reported on Tuesday.
The undefeated boxing great had been linked to the idea of joining an ownership group if the league eventually placed a franchise in the city. Hoops Wire now indicates that Mayweather is no longer actively pursuing that possibility. No additional details were provided about why the 46-year-old reversed course or whether other investors remain involved.
The NBA has not announced plans to expand to Las Vegas, and the league has consistently stated that any formal expansion talks would take place only after its next media-rights agreement is finalized.
