Floyd Mayweather Vs Mystery Boxer

[Oilacris]

Floyd had an exhibition boxing match with japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in december of 2018. You can find clips of it on youtube. I think Floyd accepts these fights due to the lower level of boxing in japan and them being relatively easy money.

There's a lot of money currently being thrown at Rizin MMA in japan. I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd's next opponent was either from Rizin or one of the asian kickboxing promotions. Floyd's a massive pay per view draw and celebrity worldwide, having him fight in japan must be huge from a promotional perspective. They could conceivably pay Floyd $10+ million per fight against subpar competition and easily make their money back from Floyd's massive draw power and brand recognition.

I can't claim to know specifics or details of their business dealings but afaik Conor McGregor is guaranteed $10 million per fight in the UFC as stated by Lorenzo Fertitta. Would tend to think Floyd is doing better than that in japan.

For sure on peoples mind do boggles about why Japan would spent out $10M per fight with Mayweather since they do know the outcome of such fight. There would always be a reason and they
wont really just waste up money if they wont get any benefits and as you mentioned this really gives some huge promotional perspective.

But I can't really understand Japanese promotions willing to get Floyd that bigger money, how can they make their money back since its based on Japan only? Yes, Floyd is a brand name itself, but its just confined in Japan to an extend to some Asian countries I don't know how can they recover it back, to be honest.

Rofl at the thread title.  

What's up with Mayweather these days and why does he keep doing all these dog and pony shows?  Is he actually broke?  I mean even after the huge event with McGregor?

He just wanted to be relevant I guess. He says he quit and retired, but it's hard to leave boxing itself because that what made him famous. And since Pacquaio has back to back wins, he still wants people to talk about him and be in the conversation. I don't think his broke, he just simply wanted to stay in the limelight so to speak. 

Or maybe this is another publicity to refreshes the name since he was almost forgotten lol

Anyway even if he made this fight or not,what he needs to answer is the invitation of Manny Pacquiao’s team to have a rematch since this is unfinished business.and if he is really capable of fighting why choose exhibition games when the real action awaits him

[coinplus]

I really do not see how this is any good for the sport or for the upcoming hopeful Pacman fight. If he is making this much from these small fights he may not even try to go for a fight with Pacman or at least will have such a huge upperhand that he will probably say he wants most of the cut from the Pacman fight which in return will make Pacman decline the fight.

I mean these fights last only couple minutes and we have seen from that kickboxer dude that Mayweather is just miles miles away from him and the talent level is just not even close. Dude straight up humiliated that fighter and if he keeps on doing that for whole year I doubt he will have any entertainment value left in him. He is probably milking his last dimes from the sport and I hope he fights with Pacman as well but after that he better have good investments because dude is getting super old super quickly and will eventually be too old to fight.

Another exhibition match is on the way this coming July for Floyd Mayweather. The opponent remains un-named as of this moment and all they know for now is he is a "former Japanese boxer", fight will be held in Japan and it will be in July this year and he will be paid $10 Million USD for this match. According to the news posted by TMZ, Floyd still have 4-5 matches this year and all matches combined can earn him $80 Million USD.

*topic will be updated once the opponent will be named and the exact date and venue has been announced.

Obviously this talking all about money Mayweather announce to the public he plan for the retirement but it is clear 4 to 5 matches for this year he surely to earn billion dollar. I bet Floyd vs Myster Boxer. And hope the one fight matches will be include the rematch with Pacman.

Yes, it's all about money and in the name of the business as well. Win or loss he can still have money on that fight and he is confident that he win that fight. He didn't feel ashamed of what they said on Manny Pacquiao team that Floyd Mayweather there's no interest of boxing career and wanted to resign but now he fights against with Myster Boxer. Ain't know if his(Floyd) opponent would win this fight but I still bet too with Floyd.

I have an idea, can you guys create a betting thread with an escrow on this fight? Just have fun

You guys didn't hear? Mike Tyson is coming out of retirement to fight Floyd Money Mayweather.  












Just kidding.

Too bad we don't have the name of this mystery boxer because until we get the details of this former boxer, we can't tell if he can stand a chance against Floyd. Who knows if the stipulation of the contract is Floyd also has no idea until the day of the fight happens, this will be exciting because there is a surprise factor on who will be the opponent that even Floyd or the referee has no idea.

I think they have fighters already that is ready to fight to Mayweather but they can't decide who would it be, that's they have to hide his name yet. If my hunch was right, I think the Japanese people are now choosing who's the tough fighter that could stand to Mayweather and not like on his previous fight with Tenshin that is totally unmatched.

It means that Floyd isn't really a "retired" boxer anymore because he keeps on accepting exhibition match and the rumor about his fight with Pacquiao is still on negotiations.

Looks like Floyd becoming a brand for the Japanese people and he's been the number one choice of these boxers. It's just nothing to him as long as the offer is going to be that big.

Maybe he is retired in professional boxing because exhibition games are just purely for entertainment.
I don't understand this guy, he is very unpredictable, he can change things anytime as long as there is money involved, the name says it all though.
Don't be surprise if one day he will be back on the wrestling match again.

Take this one as an example (Raw: Floyd Mayweather knocks out Big Show at WrestleMania)

I'm really surprised that he had a fight with a wrestler and it's Big Show. I don't know that it happened and I was entertained by the fact that he is against a WWE Superstar, I don't know. It's just entertainment like you said. Maybe he would still do it or maybe he won't. Maybe how much ridiculous it is, the more people are going to talk about it. I think that's the purpose of his matches.

There is no retirement for Mayweather if its about money talk,we know how this man praises Money and whenever theres an offering to give him good income for sure he will break that word of retirement

And he was always been a man without word of honor so what are we expecting from this person?

[bbc.reporter]

Floyd should begin calling himself Easy Money Mayweather hehehe.

However, if Floyd wants the easiest money with the biggest return then he should fight Khabib in boxing. Khabib has also expressed his desire for that fight because he also wants Conor level money for retirement hehehehe.

Hahaha Floyd's really an unpredictable guy, showmatch or exbihition match he's up for there. But if the talks is about the rematch between him and Manny Pacquiao, we can't say if he's going to be serious about it.

Maybe that's his life now and he's into this kind of matches, nothing serious about it but the money he'll receive is totally serious about his talent fee/professional fee. Although he's "retired", he is still getting the buzz that he wants.

There's no belt that will be stake and he will keep his records since every fight that he will accept is just for entertaining the fans, maybe Japanese
people are buying this dramas giving Mayweather lots of money, there's still no information and until the final date arrive it will be revealed and
be known by the community.

[harizen]

Mayweather surely making even more money coming from retirement.

With his busy and hectic schedule all throughout the year, looks like MP vs MW fans will have to wait for 10 more years until the latter finalized his decision of having a rematch with Pacquiao.

He is interested, Im sure of that, but there's a lot of easy money on the way that will not harm his clean boxing record. No way he will skip on that.

[kenzawak]

I think he's far from broke (unless he bought BTC at 20k and sold it all recently), he just wants more and more.
A former Japanese boxer ? 
The guy should show a bit more respect for his sport and for the fans and stop taking stupid fights. Not sure about how he wants be remembered in the history of boxing but that doesn't do much good to his reputation.

I think Mayweather is immune to any criticism that we throw to him and instead, he just keeps going and going to make a lot of money in an easy way. He's been eaten by the greed of making a lot of money, well if anyone of you guys put on to his shoe what would you be doing? An easy money offer is a good way to make a lot of money. And I think it is not his choice that's why he accepts the offer, I think it is the Japanese people who want to make a scene with him.

Lol. But yeah another game for money. I don’t know if there’s still someone who are betting on the other side, if you want sure profit go for Mayweather. This is pretty obvious and don’t just waste your money to watch the game, I’m telling you this is boring.
