Ring legend Floyd “Money” Mayweather and RIZIN held a press conference in Las Vegas on Monday night to officially announce the 45-year-old newly inducted Hall of Famer’s next exhibition, which will take place in September against Japanese MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura on RIZIN in Japan.

Floyd Mayweather: “I know that he believes in his skill, but no fighter that he’s ever been in the ring with is Floyd Mayweather. These other guys are just fighters, but I’m Floyd Mayweather. I’m on a different level. I’m special. Not just special, very special. I don’t have to watch tape on my opponents, he needs to watch me. I’m the one to watch. Everybody I face is just an opponent. It’s no different from facing Manny Pacquiao or Canelo Alvarez.”

Mikuru Asakura: “I’m an MMA fighter, but I’m going to use this opportunity and use Mayweather to raise my name and value internationally. I will win this fight.”

  • Haaa hahah, of course you won’t Mikuru – you won’t be allowed to even think about winning or Floyd “mega clauses’ Mayweather and his lawyers will have your butt in a sling. You get to go out there, make some money, get beaten up and feed floyd’s massive ego.

    • Dosen’t have to worry about getting beaten up in a scripted sparring session. People pay to see pro wrestling too which is pretty much the same thing.

  • I just can’t wait to see Floyd’s skill on display..He is so special. Like a Picasso. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am for this master to apply his craft!! Lmfao… Oh wait. I must be a hater. If you leave a thumbs down, please email me you pronouns. Ladies..
    Best Regards

  • Love it JT!! If Floyd is so special, why not fight a MMA fighter with MMA rules? Cuz he’s a biaaaatchhh. And he knows it. I see Floyd around and the guy is such a clown. Go visit a childrens hospital or something. Use your profile to do more then buy a damn Watch. Poor thing

  • I mean I guess he’s smart? Fighters before him tried to make actual comebacks against actual competitors at the cost of their health.

    So if you really miss Floyd, I guess this is a treat for you?

    I won’t pay for this but I’ll enjoy reading the results on this site lol.

  • It is an exhibition fight. No one is suppose to win. Unless one of them do sneaky tactic like the one Floyd did to against Victor Ortiz
