As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Floyd Mayweather he will come out of retirement to fight a Japanese kickboxer half his age, Tenshin Nasukawa, on New Year's Eve in Saitama. The 41-year-old unbeaten boxer, who won world titles in five different weight divisions and was considered the best pound-for-pound boxer in the sport, scored a TKO win over UFC superstar Conor McGregor in his last fight in August 2017.

My guess, No leg kicks, no head kicks. Elbows and kicks to the body along with punches. No take downs.
if i was floyd I would try and allow head kicks..... elbows vs shins.... elbows usually wins :D
Did any of you actually watch Tenshin fight prior to crying about this match?
Are any of you aware of the history of boxing champions fighting outside of boxing?
No, you're just a bunch of ****in Sallys. *****ing, whining, and crying about anything you can find that makes logical sense if you don't know your ass and only look at the surface of things.
Who is Theagenese? How about Klietomachos? Demokrates? James Figg? Tom Hyer?
Are these the men who fought outside of boxing and participants from outside of boxing or are they the men who spread boxing across the ****in' planet?
The answer is both.
When you are the most popular figure in combat sports and you've already beaten your sport the next step is to grow your sport by taking on others. China encountered boxing in the first century because Demokrates was more famous than the Emperor and Christianity combined. Theagenes introduced boxing to the Germans by the 400s BC. The English revival in the 18th century came from a pair of swordsman. The reason the entire world abstains from sex prior to a fight is because Kieto went unpointed against in boxing, pankration, and wrestling at one event and claimed it was because he saves that energy by abstaining from sex. Originally boxing was wrapped up in America's immigration obsession and was a political suicide to associated with them, until Tom Hyer the Rough and Tumble champion showed America how great boxing can be by whooping the evil Irish boxer who had pretended to be American to avoid British and Aussie law Yankee Sullivan.
The JBC didn't join the NBA until twenty years prior to Ali vs Inoki and didn't have a HW champion position until 09 because of a lack of interest in big Japanese. Boxing is growing in the east and Floyd is a natural element of that.
The honor is his. He earned it. Now stfu and praise your ambassador for carrying on the long standing tradition of the GOAT going into foreign territory to fight a foreign fight and smacking up punk fools for the glory of boxing.
I don't give a **** what the rules are, Floyd's going to Japan to show them Apollo's mettle.
great post.....
LOL there still retÜrded people allow to post in this site. SMH
so this is what you write as a reply instead of countering his points?
you musta voted for hillary
Bob Sapp made millions by throwing fights in Japan , Floyd can make crazy money taking dives in Japan
bob sapp is a fuggin embarrasment to martial arts
Anyone who doesn't realize this is going to be a pure boxing match is a RETARD.
The Attention Whore needs the circus to continue because he can't stand going a few years without Media Attention.
Yet you're giving it to him too so his plan is working lol. Your statement makes you look stupid.
the only thing I find funny.....
Mayweather is already obscenely rich, and getting richer by the day
he is literally on a different financial level than " rich " people
don't listen to the morons who are running around saying that he is broke..... the dude has well over half-a-billion dollars CASH, just from 2 fights..... you simply cannot spend that much money
he could literally blow $20mil every year on strippers, without even denting his capital..... so the "he broke doe" fools are dreaming
fun fact: he bought his contract from Arum for 900k loooool :lol1:
i hope that fun fact gives that old man hemorrhoids just thinking about it
Big fan of Floyd the professional boxer best of his era but this circus ***** makes me laugh
You should praise it because it's elevating Boxing to a untouchably supreme status. I think it's cool.
He who controls the spice controls the Universe!

Figg was also a master swordsman who competed in all sorts of tournaments and exhibitions
I don't want Floyd hurt in mmma rules as he's got rematch with pac
yea, wouldn't it be terrible if he suffered a shoulder injury
and didn't tell anyone
and then lied on the medical :lol1:
boxing in a octagon with 4oz gloves, will be enough to fool the casuals
That was my initial thought but don't they fight in a ring, not octagon in this organisation?
I've been lurking in Japanese MMA forums since this fight got made & the consensus is Floyd is getting a piece of Rizin, the promotion putting on this fight, to make this event happen. This fight isn't about 51-0 or about stealing anyone's thunder in December or trying to be relevant or other sh^t people are saying. This fight is about owning a piece of a Japanese MMA promotion thats been struggling & could run the Asian MMA marketplace.
Randomly the consensus with those Asian MMA fans is they are excited about this turn of events.
A little backstory, Rizin is owned by a cat who ran the UFC's main competitor back in the day, Pride FC. UFC eventually bought out Pride FC. Most fans still miss Pride & all the sh^t they did to entertain fans which most feel is superior to how the UFC does sh^t. But anyway the owner had to sign a non-compete clause & was out of the game for years. Upon his non-compete expiring he created Rizin. Rizin hasn't made as much impact as most initially thought they would. One Championships, a Asian MMA competitor of Rizin, has been making some big moves signing a notable UFC guys, past Conor McGregor opponent Eddie Alvarez, & recently traded for a guy most said was the best P4P guy in MMA, Demetrius Johnson, til recently when he lost a close split decision fight. Rizin needs to make some sh^t happen or they are gonna get buried in the Asian MMA market. A alliance with the biggest name in all combat sports makes a ton of sense for Rizin. And I'm sure Floyd ain't mad at a company he owns a piece of that could be huge in Japan with the right push & hype.
So TLDR this fight is about owning a piece of a MMA promotion more than its about this specific fight.
Lurking in Japanese forums😂😂😂😂😂😂 makes a lot of sense and I heard about both Alvarez and Johnson but didn’t take much notice until now. This might be Floyd’s best move yet. His Mama didn’t raise no fool
This is garbage. Mayweather use to be one of my favorite fighters but now I just wanted him to go away! He's becoming like a bad memory.
Stop lying, you never like T.B.E. He has surpassed the sport of boxing so get over it & stick to the losers you are always picking now....LMMFAO!

Floyd is playing a dangerous game this kid will be small OK but he can fight and won't gas like McGregor and probably throws harder punches with boxing gloves on
