"We talked a couple of times, so we're going to start working out real soon," Mayweather said, adding that it's going to be "a little difficult" to adjust his game and that he may require several months of training.

"Even if it takes six-to-eight months, whatever it takes, we want to make sure everything is done correctly and everything is done the right way."

Mayweather also graded his MMA skills. For his wrestling game, he said he's "probably a seven and I think we could take it up to, like, a nine," while his kicking game is a four out of 10.
