    Wouldn't Surprise REED @ All if Floyd Did That...

    The guy may or may not need the money, but I'd certainly rather slap around some blonde Japanese adolescent for millions than be fighting scott sigmon for peanuts

    I think the funniest thing about all this is Floyd fighting an exhibition for 9 million while the UFC's second biggest star after McGregor makes off with 500k.

    Probably a good idea actually. People get bored quickly when buying material things and want something bigger and better after a few months. Just like people upgrade their phones after a year or so to the next superior model. Nobody is ever really happy with what they've got. It's about having more and more.

    Yeah and doesn’t he own like 2 or 3 private jets?

    The guy has a garage full of lamborghinis and ferraris. And his house has like 50 bedrooms, movie theater, bowling alley, swimming pool...and I think he's got the actual original painting of Da Vinci's Mona Lisa hanging in his bathroom.

    is there much money to be made for such exhibitions?
    these promoters should just go on and set up freakshow fights, pay each guy 500k and stream it online...Roy Jones vs Mike Tyson etc

    I remember Floyd vs Big Show at Wrestlemania. That match was the most hyped on the card, especially after Floyd legitimately broke Big Show's nose.
    Another match that was slated to happen at Wrestlemania but never did was Shaq vs Big Show. People tend to love these circus fights.

    I guess the idea was that lil Tink Tink would be able to hop around for the full 3 rounds with the great celebrity boxer. They’d probably have it called a draw and they’d make a highlight reel of his best moments.

    Can't really blame them as after all that's usually what these exhibitions are designed to do.

    Yeah, I wonder what Floyd’s intentions were. Did he pull a dick move and fuck the guy up when they were just supposed to move around? Was he just sparring and the guy was just too fragile to hang? Did the little guy throw too hard a shot and make Floyd think he was trying to sucker him?

    Seems like Tenshin threw the first "bad intentions" punch at Floyd's head and that's where Floyd began to put the pressure on.

    $9 million is a ton of money to do this.

    Floyd’s gonna run out of exhibition circuses soon enough if he doesn’t get his spending habits under control. He apparently NEEDED this 9 million.

    I’m sure the IRS will keep knocking at his door.

    He either needs the $9m or he just treats it as a way of making a few quid while maintaining a necessity to stay in shape.

    I think it's the latter.

    I think Inoue would’ve done the same in a fairer matchup. I wonder how big a fight that would’ve been in Japan. Two fierce ladyboys, going at it hardcore.

    The complete exhibition is now available on YouTube..

    Yeah you can see the little fella tried to put some heat on those punches, so Mayweather just laid him out easy and got the rest of the night off.
