Floyd Mayweather is nothing if not a showman who knows how to rile up an audience. And Thursday’s announcement on Instagram that he’s coming out of retirement in 2020 was yet another example of how the legendary boxer—who last fought professionally in 2017 against former MMA champion Conor McGregor—captures the attention and imagination of the sports world no matter how ridiculous (or troll-y) the proclamations sound.

Frankly, I’ll believe it when I see Mayweather actually step into the ring (and not The Octagon) against a legit opponent that he’s indeed coming out of retirement. Technically, Mayweather had a “fight” against a 20-year old Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa making his boxing debut last year, but that was an exhibition match that earned Floyd millions. Mayweather has gone on the record as saying he would be interested in potentially taking on more of those kinds of fights rather than putting his unblemished 50-0 mark on the line. He’s told numerous outlets and reporters over the past few years that he’s done with boxing, that he’s not coming back. But a second IG post Thursday alluded to a mysterious “spectacular event” Mayweather’s working on with UFC president Dana White. Whatever that means.

Since Floyd’s antics forever get people in their feelings, and we have a healthy dose of skepticism he would ever compete in anything other than a sanctioned boxing match, here are a few potential fights for the 42-year-old and their chances of actually happening. That’s if—and it’s a huge, huge if since it’s Floyd we’re talking about—he is serious about boxing for another massive payday on pay-per-view.

When Mayweather-Pacquiao finally happened in 2015, it occurred five years too late. It was a boring fight, Pacquiao had an injured shoulder, and plenty of boxing fans will tell you that it didn’t really solve the question of who the greater welterweight was since years of their primes were wasted trying to make the match. It did, however, make them an absurd amount of money. Reportedly, the PPV earned Mayweather upwards of $180 million while Pacquiao took home around $120 million and there’s enough of an appetite—especially from Pacquiao who told us this past summer that he’s down for a rematch—to see these two future Hall of Famers square up one more time. There is skepticism in boxing circles that Mayweather would be interested considering how awesome the 40-year-old Pacquiao looked in his summer showdown with Keith Thurman. If the money’s right, we know Pacquiao is down. Chances are, if Floyd is actually serious about boxing again, Pacquiao, the current WBA super welterweight champion, would be too.

GTFOH. Not going to happen for too many reasons to outline here, even though, hypothetically, this would make a gargantuan amount of money for both. Alvarez is arguably the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, has jumped up too many weight-classes since he suffered his only professional loss to Floyd in 2013, and is in the middle of his prime right now. Canelo, now the face of boxing, has a massive deal with streaming service DAZN so money isn’t an issue for him and he appears to be more interested in chasing greatness than a publicity stunt at age 29.

The welterweight division is boxing’s best and deepest. But the idea that Mayweather would take on Errol Spence or Terence Crawford (two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world) or Keith Thurman or Danny Garcia or Shawn Porter or Mikey Garcia (also a pound-for-pound elite) or any other high-level 147-pound fighter is preposterous. Floyd don’t want that smoke.

While I can easily make the argument that the spectacle that was Mayweather-McGregor turned out to be a better fight than expected, it easily could’ve ended earlier than the 10th round. Again, Mayweather is a showman and if he wanted to drop McGregor early on he absolutely could have. But it made for a better product letting the fight slide into the championship rounds and giving people more for their money since the PPV cost $100. McGregor, at the time of the fight the biggest draw in MMA, only seriously trained as a boxer for roughly six months so it was lightwork for Floyd in the ring that evening despite an 11-year age difference. McGregor has previously told us he would “never say never” to boxing again. But he also said he was focused on MMA training and his whiskey business. A rematch with Floyd could be tough to turn down since it made him reportedly around $100 million and he launched his promotions business around the fight. Mayweather, of course, reportedly earned well over $200 million for the fight so you know if the right broadcaster threw enough dollars at these two there’s a good chance they’d throw down one more time.

Arguably the baddest man in UFC, Khabib Nurmagomedov, has been tossed around as a potential opponent for Mayweather since the lightweight champion once upon a time called out Floyd. But there have been zero indications that Khabib would want to take away from his MMA training to focus on boxing.
