    Good publicity for Floyd, he can compare this to Muhammad Ali fighting pro wrestler Antonio Inoki. Anytime you can compare yourself with Muhammad Ali, its a good thing.

    The second good thing about this is even if Floyd loses, he'll remain undefeated in boxing and his legacy will be intact.

    Gokhan Saki fighting in the UFC might have showed kickboxers are a bit overrated. People give them too much credit due to their success against boxers like Ray Mercer--who probably didn't even bother training for those crossover matches.

    I've never seen Tenshin fight, Floyd isn't known for having 1 shot KO power it could be hard for him if it goes to the scorecards it can be much easier to land a kick to the legs or body than a punch to the head. The kickboxer has the range advantage and Floyd's tight defense and shoulder rolls won't necessarily be as effective against kicks bludgeoning his cranium.

    Floyd will have to bring in some kickboxers to spar with & figure out what his chances are.

    So Floyd will get a huge overseas appearance check, ppv revenue and all of the promo money for a side show boxing match? Easy money. This isn't going to be a kickboxing match but it will get the japanese kid and Rizin promotion a ton of press stateside which is what they are after.

    If Floyd is broke then jj's smile is the after shot of an invisalign commercial instead of the meth toothed slob from middle earth he truly looks like.

    Hey mumble mouth Mayweather is spending too much money and it is going to run out, he is a dumb ghetto boy like the rest of them with an 6th grade education like the rest of them so of course that is a recipe for disaster.

    I have $200 but know how to manage it

    It doesn't even have to be an old boxer. A top Muay Thai fighter destroys a top in prime boxer every single penetrating time unless the boxer is extensively trained in kickboxing. This has been proven time and time again in K-1 and other kickboxing federations. You don't even need a high kick - the Muay Thai fighter can completely destroy a boxer with leg kicks alone.

    Masato, former K-1 World Champ vs Vince Philips, former IBF and WBA World Boxing Champ:

    And this is what happened despite Masato being outweighed by about 30 lbs:

    I agree 100%..

    I'm sure Mayweather has worked on blocking kicks and what not since he's been training MMA recently but if this fight is legit and not fixed he will get murdered by leg kicks for sure just for starters.. Mayweather hasn't built up his shin bone density either, he could actually break a bone blocking or taking a low kick..

    It won't even be a contest because FM isn't a one punch KO fighter like (Poster Sanity) mentioned in an earlier post also.. This fight will be so lopsided it won't even be funny..

    You can't outbox a top notch MT fighter that's kicking the shiiiit out of you.. The range is not there for boxers.. If this fight goes down and isn't fixed Floyd won't last til the final bell even if he's on his horse running away..

    Dude is definitely broke. He keeps coming out of retirement after gambling his money away.

    Mayweather is like Brett Favre with all the retirements.


    Anyway, Floyd backed out of this one. Apparently he agreed originally and then got cold feet.

    I'm having second thoughts about whether this is a bamboo tree or palm tree.

    Is there a botanical specialist in the house that can confirm what type of tree this is?

    This was no surprise. No way Floyd was going to fight this guy in a real fight of any sort. No name value for the PPV market.

    from floyd, guy thought he was signing up for a 3 round exhibition paid by wealthy fans lol what a clown

    floydmayweather

    Now that I am back on U.S. soil after a long and disappointing trip to Tokyo, I now have the time to address you, my fans and the media in regard to the upcoming event on December 31st that was recently announced. First and foremost, I want it to be clear that I, Floyd Mayweather, never agreed to an official bout with Tenshin Nasukawa. In fact (with all due respect) I have never heard of him until this recent trip to Japan. Ultimately, I was asked to participate in a 9 minute exhibition of 3 rounds with an opponent selected by the "Rizen Fighting Federation". What I was originally informed of by Brent Johnson of "One Entertainment" was that this was to be an exhibition put on for a small group of wealthy spectators for a very large fee. This exhibition was previously arranged as a "Special Bout" purely for entertainment purposes with no intentions of being represented as an official fight card nor televised worldwide. Once I arrived to the press conference, my team and I were completely derailed by the new direction this event was going and we should have put a stop to it immediately. I want to sincerely apologize to my fans for the very misleading information that was announced during this press conference and I can assure you that I too was completely blindsided by the arrangements that were being made without my consent nor approval. For the sake of the several fans and attendees that flew in from all parts of the world to attend this past press conference, I was hesitant to create a huge disturbance by combating what was being said and for that I am truly sorry. I am a retired boxer that earns an unprecedented amount of money, globally, for appearances, speaking engagements and occasional small exhibitions.

    The Floyd Mayweather Jr. Life Cycle.

    Step #1 Floyd retires.

    Step #2 Floyd files for bankruptcy.

    Step #3 Floyd comes out of retirement to pay his bills.

    Hopefully he breaks the cycle this time around although I don't know if anyone's overly optimistic about it.

    Bomani Jones and Pablo Torre assess what seems implausible about Floyd Mayweather backing out of an $88M fight with 20-year old Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa.



    Ariel & The Bad Guy discuss Floyd Mayweather pulling out of a fight against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa just a few days after holding a press conference in Japan to announce the event. Chael Sonnen says it is bad for Floyd’s brand while Ariel Helwani calls it embarrassing for “Money” Mayweather, but is great for Rizin to raise their brand globally.
