Mayweather Says Another Exhibition Being Lined Up For July
Former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather is gearing up for another trip to Japan in the summer.
According to Mayweather, he plans to take part in another exhibition bout.
This time around, Mayweather says he will face a ex-boxer - but he's unsure of the name or weight class.
MMA company RIZIN had promoted the initial exhibition and is likely handling the next one.
Last Saturday night, Mayweather told reporters that he brokered a deal where his undefeated pupil, WBA super featherweight champion Gervonta Davis, would travel over to Japan in April for an exhibition with Nasukawa.
Mayweather expects to take part in several exhibitions before the year is over.
"They called me, I got another one in Japan, in July... for like $10 million, three rounds. I got another one in July, same rules, always my rules. It's a Japanese boxer, a former boxer from what I heard, I got a call today. In exhibitions this year alone, I think I got about 4 or 5 exhibitions this year... I'll make about $80 million, this year," Mayweather told TMZ.

10 million per exhibition he's be an idiot to pass it up.
Damn I don't understand the hate. If any fighter turned down 10 million for 3 rounds I'd question their sanity
Re: Mayweather Says Another Exhibition Being Lined Up For July
Floyd said he had $80m worth of these sort of exhibitions lined-up. Most elite level fighters won't earn anywhere near that amount during the course of their entire career, but this is just loose change for him.
Re: Mayweather Says Another Exhibition Being Lined Up For July
Let him have a shoot match with Brock Lesner. I'd pay to watch that.

I suspect the hate is really envy.
But Mayweather earned these easy riches by being a boxing force for 2 decades.
Until that money dries up, why shouldn't he continue to do it? Apparently the public fascination with Mayweather never ends.

Not me. Mayweather Jr is practically a franchise here in Las Vegas. He;s done a great deal for our community.
Re: Mayweather Says Another Exhibition Being Lined Up For July
the hate?
lol every time a retired boxer entertains fighting again ppl say he needs the money, look at the maidana threads too and ppl love chino, its no floyd specific hate i see here in this thread, some people, and some ppl specifically, just love to cry 'hater!' 'omg stop hating' 'jealous! waah waah!'....to the point where they fabricate 'hate' themselves

It's goes with the territory of being a boxing fan.
But Mayweather is the target of such a ridiculous amount of animosity that it becomes clear that plenty fans are envious.
Mayweather brags and he backs it up. He flaunts his wealth constantly. It reminds too many fans that they have nothing by way of comparison.
Envy.
Mayweather has been very very good for the sport of boxing. He brought it plenty attention.
And now in retirement, interest in him remains strong. And because of that, the sport prospers.
True boxing fans should salute Mayweather rather than criticize.
Re: Mayweather Says Another Exhibition Being Lined Up For July
lol ya how many posts in this thread are about hate and where is the actual hate here
ffs every time a fighter comes back ppl go on that he must need money, as i said look at maidana threads, ppl saying he must need money too. omg jealous haterz!! everyone hates chino!
ppl done the same with rumored comebacks for kessler, wlad, etc....its like every fighter that gets rumored to fight again after retiring....ppl think they must be fighting for money again because they need more money, its a totally normal response.

Re: Mayweather Says Another Exhibition Being Lined Up For July
Exhibition with an Ex-Boxer huh? I certainly hope it's somebody that can provide some sort of resistance rather than a severely outgunned youngster who is giving up at least 20 pounds.
Re: Mayweather Says Another Exhibition Being Lined Up For July
It's more that he has bought his way out of 5 (five) counts of domestic battery that makes me hate the guy. Nothing to do with boxing, money, his lifestyle (although he could have given a bit back to the sport) or his mouth.SenorPipino wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 12:56I don't really care if fans hate or are jealous.jamamb wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 12:42 the hate?

Just the fact he can beat up women and then pay to make it go away, instead of going to jail like any normal Wifebeater.

I have no problems him making money mate, (aren't we all doing that haha) - just feel like the lifestyle he portrays on social media is not sustainable whilst being retired !tiny_acres wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 09:13kbackup408 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2019, 08:36 Yup, it was obvious to sustain that lifestyle he needs money flowing in by the millions - don't be fooled by this lads!What's to be fooled by?

It will probably be Homer Simpson.
Simpson once took a prime Drederick Tatum's best shots without even going down.
