    The thing that makes me believe it was legit is Floyd grinning like an idiot from the get go. He can't be THAT stupid if it were staged.

    Agreed. Even in the post fight interview it looked like Floyd was holding back his smile while paying his respects and telling the crowd Tenshin was still a great fighter.

    The only thing that made me question anything is the Japanese kid's facial reactions and the flopping around. Then again that could be real but looked weird is all.

    The Karate Kid spends more time on his haircut than his fighting. Was hilarious seeing his ass get KO'ed then bursting into tears like an idiot.

    Oh well now he might start training harder and putting less work into his hairstyle.

    Floyd should have been arrested for child abuse.

    Answers the age old question. What depraved thing would you do for $9 million dollars. Turns out Floyd would abuse a middle school anime child for 9 million bucks.

    I keep on seeing this video referred to as the weigh-in, but I don't see any damn weigh-in going on.

    To be fair, he's a kickboxer. His kicks are his main weapons.

    He's grinning from the get go cause he's getting paid 9 mil to beat up an undersized novice.

    Fuckin Zelenoff coulda probably beaten that kid.

    This had Muhammad Ali-Lyle Alzado sparring session vibes all over it until Tenshin landed a legit straight left. Then Floyd, thinking this was a work, turned it into a shoot.

    Stinger would have out-boxed Tenshin

    Didn't Ali also fight some Japanese dude? But actually allow him to kick?

    Against Antonio Inoki? That was supposed to be a scripted match until Inoki psyched him out or something then it became an actual shoot fight on the day of

    Inoki was sitting down on his ass and kicking at Ali's legs for 15 rounds.

    Tenshin is all show, no go. Put him in a Muay Thai fight against a Lumpinee champion and exactly the same thing happens....knocked out in 1 round, crying in despair perhaps, but more likely unconscious and bleeding.

    I have no idea about the sport or about Tenshin and Japanese kickboxers or who's legit and who's not.

    One look at that Tenshin luxurious haircut would have Stinger swooning towards the out of town cheap motel VHS club, where all the martial arts action takes place, after dark, clothes optional.

    Most Japanese promotions have some form of metrosexual Japanese hero fighter. Some of these are very good like Masato. Others are weak fast guys with tremendous hairstyles, like Tenshin.

    The first and third knockdown looked suspect as fuck.

    All Japanesers are suspect: boxing / kick-boxing / anything

    9 mill for a fake fight. That's genius.

    So, what exactly was the business plan for all of this?
    Promoting RIZIN?
    Promoting Tenshin?
    Promoting Mayweather?
    Where do all parties go from here?

    i'm not sure 9million is usually worth the hassle for someone who has over 500million and says he will earn 7 figures each month for the rest of his life

    REED Sees it just the Opposite...

    Dude Showed Up HOURS Late, Body Never Looking Softer, w/His Own Handpicked Referee...

    Floyd was Grinning @ the EASE of his Task...Tenshin's Smaller than Floyd's CHILDREN!...Floyd Landed a Nice Double Right Hook to the Body/Head, but That was Only After Tenshin Snuck In a Cross and Some Body Shots...The Rest of the "Knockdown" Punches Landed w/Very Little Force...

    The WAY Tenshin Flopped Around on the Canvas Sealed it for REED...Looking Like Trevor Berbick vs. Tyson or Some Shit...

    Floyd's about the PERCEPTION of Having Money, Even More than Actually Possessing It...

    Initially, he had RIZN SAY he was Making "88mil" for this Fight...Turned Out to Be 9mil...Years Ago, Floyd had WWE SAY They were Paying him 20-25mil to Face Big Show @ WrestleMania, when in Actuality it was Around 2mil...

    even with his actual career earnings, and 'business ventures'....9million should not be worth the effort if he actually had things going on
    i guess things arent so rosey

    When the Fight was 1st Announced There was a Rumor of a HEFTY Gambling Debt to a Japanese Casino...Then, of Course, Every 3-5-7 Years or So, the IRS Knocks on the Money Door...

    And That Says NATHAN For How Much Floyd SPENDS...Literally, he's Wagered a Mil or MORE @ 1 Time on a Fucking Sporting Event...

    Khabib Nurmagomedov's Already Come Out Saying Floyd's Reached Out to Him Again for a Boxing Match...REED Wouldn't Even Rule Out a Return to WWE...Ronda Rousey's There Now and Her and Floyd had a Public Spat a Few Years Ago...They Could Easily Revisit that Storyline...

    But Yeah, All Signs are Pointing to Things NOT Being as Rosey as He Wants Them to Be Perceived....He's Not Engaging in These Circus Fights Just for the Fuck of It...He NEEDED that 9mil, Evidently...

    His whole image is about having money. I wouldn't be surprised if after buying 10 mill in jewelry and posting it on Instagram he has jeff return it the next day.
