Undefeated ring legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather and UK-based YouTuber Deji Olantunji went face to face for the first time this past Thursday at a press conference in Las Vegas before they headline the latest installment of the Global Titans Fight Series on November 13 from the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai and live on a $34.95 pay-per-view.

Floyd Mayweather: “Deji has a huge following, I have a huge following and it’s all about excitement. We’re both going to bring it and I think it’s going to be really cool for the UAE…I like his confidence and I like that after his first fight, he didn’t give up. He kept working hard to get better and improve.”

Deji Olatunji: “We’ll see what happens in the ring on November 13…I want to show Floyd that I’m really bringing something to the table with this fight.”

  • Well, we know how that will turn out. Hugs before and after…good for Floyd, hate him or like him, he did it….and keeps doing it….

  • Floyd’s fights are about as exciting as watching grass grow, yet the noobs continue to shell out big bucks on the 1% chance that he’ll be kayoed. He became a billionaire off these hopium addicts.

    • He makes his “because a billionaire off” of folks like you who complain and yet can’t seem to stay away from Floyd’s content. They say haters are often the biggest fans. Floyd is obviously marketable which is why he can command the money that he does.

  • I don’t understand why haters complain. Nobody is forcing them to click on a page about Mayweather in the same way no one is forcing them to watch the fight. I think Floyd is brilliant in what he is doing. Love him or hate him he’s getting a larger social medial following by fighting Top Youtubers which equates to more money. BRILLIANT!! He makes more money from exhibitions than 95% of these active fighters. Haters are literally asking Floyd to stop making money. How dumb is that? Would you turn down millions to fight an exhibition? I don’t think so. They say haters are often the biggest fans. I’m not the biggest fan of all that Floyd does but how do you knock a man’s hustle?

    • Even better is that they are probably carefully scripted so that nobody gets hurt-if people pay to watch pro wrestling this is the same kind of entertainment.

    • He wouldn’t make a single penny if people didn’t pay to watch his fights. Clicking on an article solely to make a snide comment hardly pays his bills. But I see he definitely has a (likely paying-out-the-nose) fan in you.

  • Absolutely nothing about this brings “excitement” and this is not “really cool” in any manner or by any definition. This is a joke and a massive fraud being called a boxing match. No part of this will be competitive and no part of this will be worth paying the fee for. Floyd can’t stand not being relevant and is obsessed to a rather pathetic degree with money. This 100% nonsense, and would be more fitting in a circus tent.

  • Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. Sport entertainment shows are just that. I’m surprised that he’s not trying to age these YouTubers before exhibitions. Floyd might charge 50 bucks per head in open workout sessions in the near future.
