I don’t think I’m buying his excuse. Maybe it’s legit, but are you telling me that not one person from his team came out before now and stopped the rumors? It seems like they would have had a talk with the people at Rizin right after the press conference if they were this misinformed and then let the public know that it was all a big misunderstanding.
So either Floyd didn’t get certain demands he wanted, or it was just another ploy to keep himself relevant.
What was the “new direction” it was going anyways? He doesn’t really say anything there... If it was a case where it wasn’t going to be purely boxing and the guy would be allowed to kick him, i dont think anyone would expect anything less than him running like the wind... 3 rounds of boxing against the guy for a decent payday in a new market sounds like exactly the kind of thing he’d want it to be though....
That doesn't sound like Floyd talking. First of all he said "unprecedented". That's a 5-syllable word.
Is it even worse that he wanted it as an exhibition and not even a legit kickboxing thingy non mma event. Sounds like Mayweather couldn't grease the wheels with all that status in Japan, got called on it and he picked up his toys and went home.
Told you suckers.
Damn I wonder if my plane ticket to Japan is refundable.
From that press statement there is only Floyd Mayweather that looks like a sucker. Sucker.Quote:

The American’s former foe laughed about the upcoming fight, but also gave respect at the same time
Conor McGregor has poked fun at his former opponent Floyd Mayweather’s next fight against a Japanese kickboxer.
The 50-0, former pound-for-pound king, announced on Monday that he will be coming out of retirement once again to face Tenshin Nasukawa on December 31 in Japan.

Upon hearing the news, McGregor reacted in a similar manner to many, with utter confusion and disbelief.
“Is that a tracksuit or a sauna suit Floyd haha?” the Irishman began in a social media post.
“Is it hot in Tokyo or what’s the story here? That climate change is no joke, f*** me.
“What in the f*** is going on here? Who’s this little p**** next to you?
“That’s mad s***. Like something out of Rush Hour 5 or something.
“Chris Tucker and Jackie f***ing Chan back in this b****.”
After having his fun, the 30-year-old finished his speech by paying respect to his former foe’s ingenuity as he has once again made the ridiculous a money-spinning reality.
He concluded: “F***ing brilliant. Mad little b****** you are Floyd. Fair f***s to you mate. No lie. F*** it.”

Master can't start out of this thread.
Was Floyd to p*ssy to speak up at the press conference?
I could at least understand not wanting to make a scene at the press conference, but a statement immediately after would seem logical.Quote:

Floyd Mayweather has said he will face kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a "boxing exhibition" in Japan on New Year's Eve - just over a week after claiming the fight would not take place.
It was announced on 5 November that the former five-weight boxing world champion had agreed to the fight.
But two days later he denied that, and said he had not heard of Nasukawa until that week.
Promoters now say the "misunderstanding" has been solved.
Mayweather told American broadcaster TMZ: "We're going to make it happen. It's going to be a little boxing exhibition. No kicking.

"I'm moving around with the guy for nine minutes, and of course it's going to be the highest-paid exhibition ever."
In August 2017, the unbeaten American extended his record to 50 wins with victory over UFC star Conor McGregor in a bout which earned him a reported $300m (£228m).
In July, he was named by Forbes as the world's highest-paid celebrity, beating actor George Clooney into second place.

To be fair I don't think anyone can really knock him for this if it is what he says it is.
If someone wants to give him a shit load of money for a non televised 3 round exhibition that won't go towards his professional record then fair play to him.
