Long-time rival Manny Pacquiao is keen on locking horns with Mayweather again
Mayweather shared the court with Jena Frumes and NBA star Andre Drummond
Floyd Mayweather is rumored to be considering a return to the boxing ring but he continues to be invested in his other sporting passion... basketball.
With the NBA in the off-season, basketball superfan Mayweather decided to get himself onto the court by playing in the inaugural $50K charity challenge celebrity game.
Mayweather took to the court at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion to show off his basketball skills and help raise money for multiple charities including Teen Cancer America.

The retired boxer was joined by a host of actors and celebrities – including Jesse Lingard's former girlfriend Jena Frumes.
Mayweather was part of Los Angeles Lakers star Kyle Kuzma's side while his opponents were coached by Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond.
The 41-year-old, whose last fight came against Conor McGregor on August 26, 2017, attends NBA games on a regular basis due to his love for the sport.
He has previously stated his interest in buying an NBA team but he is yet to acquire one of the 30 franchises.
Mayweather could be tempted into a 51st fight as Manny Pacquiao is keen on facing his long-time rival again.
Pacquiao lost to the undefeated Mayweather in May 2015 but the Filipino wants a rematch.
He recently said: 'Mayweather? If he decides to go back to boxing then that is the time we are going to call the shots. I have the belt, so it's up to him. If he wants to come back in boxing, let's do a second one.'
Jena Frumes, the former girlfriend of Jesse Lingard, also took part in the charity game
