A total show for all.

Those who are going to pay for live will surely enjoy on whatever the outcome of this match. Well, sports has been already one of the best source of entertainment nowadays especially with these fights.

If this supposed to be fight will pushed through in the octagon then it could be considered a circus but this time Floyd is on the losing end. A fight between a boxer and a MMA fighter is a circus though and it is all because of money that is why such show happens.

Fighting a 20 year old boy is already a circus act.lol

Too scared to mess up his record He knows he's getting older and slower. Conor lost to him but the fight wasn't easy. A boxing champion vs someone who didn't box professionally and there were moments when this match looked very even. I think that he'll never risk the record again. He's got enough money and knows that you can't buy reputation.

But I guess not all of us has been fooled by the supposed fight because we all know that its just another circus act pulled by Floyd here.

I have read the long post of Floyd Mayweather in his Instagram account and he is making it appear that he agreed to fight the 20 year old kick boxer in the condition to fight only in an exclusive crowd (few and wealthy ones) and the fight will not be televised in other words its suppose to be a secret fight so if anything happens, the fight will not be counted against his untarnished record.

Alright so mayweather got himself a gig with this kickboxer to prep himself for the upcoming pacman fight, I can understand the need to find something new because if he only fought with someone regular in boxing world than the world wouldn't have taken notice, he fought pacman and than conor and now if he goes back and fights a contender than nothing would come out of it, he has to fight someone different.

Pacman did the other way, he just found someone who is barely good enough for him, he won't be fighting some unknown person but also not fighting against a rising star with all knock outs neither, he is fighting a decent fighter, opposite of what mayweather is doing which again shows the brilliance of mayweather in marketing. Lets see the results and the fights to try to get an estimate of if pacman still has it and if mayweather is still good to know what could happen between a fight those guys.

Floyd is not fighting on the octagon versus anybody  . Even if he is only a 20 year old, that kid from Japan could hurt Mayweather if they fight in the MMA. But that fight would not push through for now as Floyd has backed off  .

Bet still open.  But the bout has to be MMA or the bet is cancelled.  From reading some posts itt, I think there could be some new rules applied to prevent the other guy from winning vs Mayweather.  

Anybody wanna take bets vs me that this event is not gonna happen (at the said date)?  I can take action up to 50 bucks split between different people at 10 bucks each minimum, or you can take the action entirely at 50/50 odds.

The promoters are marketing this as a mixed martial arts or a kickboxing fight debut for Floyd under Rizin. Kicks should be allowed because it would look stupid to the fans if they turn it into a real boxing match.

I really think this fight will be in favor with Mayweather were his opponent will have a handicap and cannot use any kick moves, And we are all aware of whos gonna win this fight just like what happen in the Mcgregor and Mayweather fight it is clear as day that Mayweather will be in favor with this fight, But if the officials would allow Tenshin Nasukawa would certainly be a kickboxer in the fight he would have a high probability to win.

Floyd Mayweather, the 41-year-old undefeated boxing legend, is scheduled to fight on New Year's Eve in Japan in the Rizin Fighting Federation, the MMA promotion announced at a press conference Monday in Tokyo (Sunday night in the United States).

Mayweather, who was present at the press conference, will take on 20-year-old kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa at the Saitama Super Arena.

At this point, though, it's not very clear what this fight will look like. Ariel Helwani of ESPN reported that "Everyone I’ve talked to said they’d be shocked if it’s MMA."

Mayweather himself expressed a similar sentiment.

"We'll talk about that, we'll get that situated within the next couple weeks," Mayweather said when asked at the press conference about the fight's weight class and the rules.

"We're giving the people something they've never seen before," Mayweather went on to say.

"As far as the weight class, we're not really worried about that. When it's all said and done, it's all about me going out there displaying my skills against another skillful fighter. So we both want to go out there and display our skills and give people excitement"

Nasukawa, Mayweather's opponent, is himself a perfect 27-0 in kickboxing competition.

When we last saw Mayweather in action, he was defeating UFC star Conor McGregor in "The Money Fight" to move his boxing record to 50-0.
