Depends.
First, is it even actually possible with our current technology? Even if we are able to extract the DNA from a frozen mammoth, we'd still need an empty egg cell AND a functioning uterus from a living animal. We could use elephants (closing living relative species) but who knows whether it will really work or not?
Next, there is the question of survivability. What was their original habitat like? Where can they survive today? What will they eat? Etc. etc.
And lastly (and most importantly), will there be any economic benefits from doing such a thing?
