There is no question that Floyd Mayweather is among boxing’s GOAT conversation. He’s never lost before, which is impressive in itself, but it’s even more impressive when you consider he’s fought over 50 times.
Saying that, people are starting to question the boxer a little bit as he reaches the twilight of his career. After first taking a fight against MMA specialist Conor McGregor, many accused Mayweather of hunting for easy wins and earning big payouts as a result. Sure, McGregor is a trained fighter, but he’s never boxed a pure boxer like Mayweather in a boxing match.
If they were unhappy with that, they’ll be livid with Mayweather’s latest fight.
Floyd traveled to Tokyo to take on kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa. As you may expect from this fight, it didn’t go well for the Japanese combatant. In fact, he hardly lasted a minute.
Okay, then! That was an odd one.
Mayweather hasn’t tried to hide his motivations. The boxing legend nicknamed “Money” is in it for just that, and he made a lot of cheddar for a couple minutes of work. In fact, someone broke it down into seconds to give a better perspective.
That’s more than what lots of people make in a year, and he made it for every second of his dance around the ring without any threat of danger whatsoever.
When the people want you, they’ll pay a lot of money to have you. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how unbalanced the results will be.
Some are calling it a fixed fight, but Helwani explains that this theory doesn't make any sense.
