"We sat at the Clippers game, started talking and we got a deal done right there on the court.
"I'll probably sit down with Al Haymon in March and get a deal on paper.
"Floyd and I would be doing something in Oct/Nov."
It's unknown who the 42-year-old will be facing but it'll likely be against a UFC fighter in a cross-promotional event.

Mayweather faced off with Conor McGregor in a boxing match in August 2017 so it'll likely be a similar deal.
Mayweather and White had the world speculating if they'd collaborate in the future, after the undefeated boxer posted a picture of the pair together on Instagram.
It's likely to be the second of his two fights slated to take place next year.

The first fight is likely to be against a boxer which has got many fans speculating over who it could be.
One mooted name is Manny Pacquiao who Mayweather defeated in 2015.
The duo have teased a rematch over the years and there's no doubt it'd garner huge interest.
White has recently been critical of crossovers between boxing and MMA and called out Tyson Fury's attempt to start an MMA career.
'The Baldfather' told a media scrum last month;

"Fury's worked hard his whole life to become one of the top four [heavyweights] in the world in boxing.
"Why would you wanna even come over and attempt this? I don't think it ends well for him. It doesn't make sense for his career."
It seems that he's changed his mind when it comes to Mayweather getting involved.
