The problem is that it’s going to be PPV. I would probably tune in if it were free, but I’m not even going to waste my time finding a stream. If it’s full on MMA then I might, but it won’t be.
Maybe it’s true, but how likely is it that Floyd agreed to a fight before the rules of the fight had been decided? He’s all about location, catch weight, gloves, A-side vs B-side...
My god . Now that's just kind of embarrassing. Poor guy is one severe IRS tax audit away from fighting professional sports mascots.
Not even for FREE.
Now.... if paid to watch, I might consider it.
Floyd is not broke.
Imagine..just imagine how much he is getting paid for this.
It’s a circus..a joke and Floyd doesn’t care..why should he?
He retired beating all the best and this is another 9 figure payday.
9 figure payday..what real estate or business he owns can pull in 9 figures in less than 36 minutes?
This is really weird

TOKYO: Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, who aims to make history by defeating boxing superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr, claims his left hook is like a "bolt of lightning" that will "change the world".
The baby-faced southpaw with a blond quiff, who is only a few months out of his teens, was barely known outside his home country before the shock announcement of his New Year's Eve fight with the unbeaten Mayweather.
But the 20-year-old from Chiba near Tokyo is considered something of a prodigy in Japanese fighting circles and began learning karate at the tender age of five.

No way can Floyd beat a ninja

Which would make sense, if only ESPN didn't see fit to put it on their sports news coverage.
Was watching First Take and sure enough... they covered it on their show. Granted, it was only the last 2 minutes of the show but really?
Again. If I was paid to watch, I might consider it.

Manny Pacquiao v Floyd Mayweather: Rematch a 'big possibility' says Filipino
Manny Pacquiao says a rematch with Floyd Mayweather is a "big possibility" as he "cannot retire with peace of mind" following his 2015 defeat.
The Philippine great lost to American Mayweather in Las Vegas by unanimous points decision, although he has since regained a version of the world title.
The two met in Japan at a concert, where they talked about a rematch.
"I told him 'I've got the belt and I am a champion' and he said he would get my belt," Pacquiao said.
The 2015 fight between the two multi-weight world champions was billed as the 'Fight of the Century,' but following a tame defeat, which saw Mayweather add the WBO welterweight title to his WBC and WBA titles, Pacquiao said he had been suffering with a shoulder injury.
"It's different - this time there are no excuses," Pacquiao, 39, told BBC Radio 5 live boxing correspondent Mike Costello.
"I cannot retire with peace of mind with that defeat."
In January, Pacquiao will defend his WBA world welterweight title against American Adrien Broner, himself a four-weight world champion. The belt is a secondary title, as the holder of the 'super' title, Keith Thurman, is recognised as the champion of the division by the WBA.
Pacquiao, who also said he would be "happy" to take on British fighter Amir Khan, added: "We met in Japan - we met accidentally. He said he wants to have a rematch and we agreed, but not this time, maybe after the January fight."
Mayweather, 41, has not fought since he beat Irish mixed martial artist Conor McGregor in 2017, but will make a return to the sport on New Year's Eve against Japanese kick boxer Tenshin Nasukawa.
Mayweather posted about the encounter with Pacquiao on Instagram. "Another nine-figure pay day on the way," was the American's assessment.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Floyd will never lack for money nor attention.
He's got plenty to do. Fight some Japanese kickboxer in Japan.... give Pacquiao a rematch.... maybe MMA's Khabib will want a shot to do what McGregor couldn't.... the possibilities are endless.
And with ESPN happily covering his every venture, the casuals will flock to whatever event in which Mayweather decides to perform.
Actually, the conversation between him and Pac probably didn't include anything about belts..... just money.
You think he's going to just allow himself to get James Toney'ed? You think he'd just let that happen? It would destroy his ego.
He's not fighting MMA, he's not going to fight anyone he could possibly lose to although it would be REAL HA-HA funny if he got sparked out by an MMA fighter which is exactly why it's NOT going to happen.
MMA guys with boxing rules. The kickboxer will have to learn how to box really really really fast.
