Mayweather vs. Tenshin live stream at RIZIN 14 PPV BLOCKED in North America

[Ruthless-RKO]

Want to watch Floyd Mayweather Jr. spar kickboxing phenom Tenshin Nasukawa?

Then I suggest you hop on a plane and fly someplace else. Unless, of course, you’re one of our international readers who does not reside in North America, where the (cough) “exhibition match” will be blocked.

It’s also blocked in Japan, because they expect you to buy a ticket.

That's according to pay-per-view (PPV) provider FITE TV, though stateside fans can catch the rest of the RIZIN 14 action this weekend from inside Saitama Super Arena in “The Land of the Rising Sun.”

Here’s the televised line up (subject to change):

RIZIN Bantamweight Title fight [61.0kg / 134.5lb] 3 x 5 minutes *No Elbows
Kyoji Horiguchi vs Darrion Caldwell

Pity they didn't block his last two fights as well.

[squiggy]

No, can't say that I do.

[Best Coast]

[Onetimeonly]

I wouldn't watch this in my backyard.

[tiny_acres]

I'd just as soon watch my own ass hairs grow than watch this crap

[Ruthless-RKO]

Lmfao at the Kenny Baylis. Probably paid him a few grand.

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

lol Mayweather needs Bayless even in this fight it's like Bayless + sometimes Byrd and Weeks were the third man in almost all of Mayweather's fights

[Ruthless-RKO]

lol Mayweather needs Bayless even in this fight it's like Bayless + sometimes Byrd and Weeks were the third man in almost all of Mayweather's fights

They are the main Nevada refs.

Surprised he didn’t bring Joe Cortez out of retirement.

yes + Cortez, i forgot about him

[oogiebe]

I'd just as soon watch my own ass hairs grow than watch this crap

Me too! Worse than Inoki/Ali.

Tenshin is a 125 pound fighter, Mayweather a 150 pound one, that's a 20% difference, that's Wilder fighting Adonis Stevenson lol. And then, Stevenson is actually a boxing pro, Tenshin has never boxed at all. What do you think would happen?

It's just a silly contest, sometimes I with I was Mayweather, it doesn't matter what I do, I'll make 100m against any idiot.

Well it’s certainly not a new thing, top boxers have taken daft money-making fights since boxing began.

He's in the corner holding the spit bucket

[Stuarty]

He'll be rematching the Big Show next

Well, normally such people are very unpopular and people feel ashamed of such guys, but because he's an American, they keep on acting like he's a good person, like he's the best of all time and such. Like he did something amazing, like he's some kind of top sporter or so. Americans really seem to be as hypocrite as it could be when it comes to other Americans and sport. Imagine if exactly the same person was born in Russia, nobody would have ever heard about him ever.

Always thought Floyd was universally disliked ! Anyway, off the top of my head.....Ali fought a wrestler, Patterson defended world title against a debutant, Johnson defended world title against a middleweight, one of the early (maybe Jeffries ? can’t remember) champs fought a bear, I’ve heard of fights in circular rings and of men against women (not long ago that, the woman won), hell in uk we even let a cricket player have a pro licence when he hadn’t a clue what he was doing, the point is if it makes money it’s happening.

Floyd Mayweather's fight with Tenshin Nasukawa is reportedly delayed by around two hours as the American is running late.

The unbeaten American was due to take on the Japanese fighter in an exhibition event at the Saitama Prefecture Super Arena in Tokyo around 10am GMT this morning.

However, it is claimed Mayweather has not even arrived at the venue, although there are a couple of fights on the undercard still scheduled to take place before he eventually enters the ring on Monday.

The 41-year-old claims he is getting paid a staggering $9million to come out of retirement for the three-round fight.

Now it's clear, why the hell those intermissions are stretching for so long.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Apprently he's just getting to the arena now.

Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, has confirmed the boxer is finally on his way to the arena.

"Headed to the arena, hotel lobby flooded, tv cameras everywhere, fans chanting, omg this sh*t it lit!!!!!!," he said on Twitter.

[Stuarty]

The Jap looks like a lesbian

[DrDuke]

Floyd is finally preparing in the dressing room. Probably there won't be delays between the just ended fight, the next one and the Floyd's one.

[DrDuke]

Another impudently easy money are in the bank.

Floyd is finally preparing in the dressing room. Probably there won't be delays between the just ended fight, the next one and the Floyd's one.

How close is it to the main event now?
