Why in Japan of all places?
Why a 125lb kickboxer?
Why "TMT" and not Mayweather Promotions?
Where is Showtime?
Where is Ellerbe?
Where is Al Haymon?
Why does Floyd look so nervous throughout the entire conference?
Why no information on the bout less than 8 weeks away?
I don't like any of this, it's all wrong for what we've seen for Mayweather's fights for the last ten years. Did he get in some **** with the Yakuza? Is that why he's surrendered so much control here?
Cuz Floyd hijacked Mexican fight holidays & now he wants to hijack Japanese fight holidays.
Cuz this isn't gonna be a typical boxing match. There is gonna be some sorta hybrid rules to this fight & a 20lb weight advantage is gonna handicap this enough so Floyd wins or is competitive if he were to lose. Although I do concede Rizin could have entered a deal where they get outplayed & either the fight won't happen at all cuz Floyd won't agree to non-100% boxing rules or Rizin have to begrudgingly accept what Floyd gives them which could be some sh^tty 3 round pure boxing exhibition with a 20lb lighter cat who's never boxed professionally or amateur (as far as I know).
Interesting question that I'm not really sure of the answer to. I don't know if there are some weird rules that could prevent MP from being involved in this fight in Japan.
Its possible Showtime could buy the US rights to this event so they could end up being involved, but I don't think they'll have "favored nation" type status with Floyd for this one since its outside of boxing or potentially outside of boxing depending on what these rules are.
If MP isn't involved its not surprising Ellerbe isn't involved super directly.
Hiding out as always. I'm sure he's been working the behind the scenes sh^t on this deal since it was just being speculated on so he's involved 100%.
Its kinda a weird situation. Dude is in Japan where potentially no one is really on his side. That whole presser was weird as f#ck in general so it all felt a lil surreal & mighta felt surreal for Floyd. Plus there isn't even rules for this fight yet so I can understand some discomfort with this whole situation cuz everyone could look like an ass clown if this fight gets canceled cuz they didn't agree to something. I'm legit curious why they did a presser w/o rules or rounds or anything to begin with. So its possible this whole thing is some weird ass ploy.
Randomly what people don't even know is the B side gots a fight in a week & a half lol. That don't make no f#cking sense to me at all so don't be surprised if some weird sh^t goes down with this whole situation.
My assumption is they were close enough to a deal that they wanted max time to hype this up.
I've been doubling down on some MMA podcasts I listen to & supposedly the Yakuza aren't even as into combat sports they used to be cuz thats a legit thing people are talking about. Randomly apparently Yakuza's are all above board in Japan. Like they got a HQ's & everything. Don't say Yakuza HQ on the building, but everyone knows that these various buildings are where Yakuza meet up & where Yakuza decisions goes down apparently.
I feel like its happening cuz of money more or less. Apparently one of Floyd's kids is big into MMA & some have suggested this could be about that in some way to. I was listening to some Ray Mercer sh^t talking about his 4 or 5 fights outside of boxing & he said his two reasons for going into MMA & kickboxing matches was because of money & cuz his kid loved MMA.
Good call.
Floyd looked happy & when he was quiet its cuz they were speaking Japanese which he doesn't understand. Well if he isn't going to fight then good for him, he is too old to be getting in fights now.
Nah, Floyd shyt his pants. Floyd no balls to fight midget in Japan :)
He was on point with the thread though and called it. Maybe nervous isn't the right word, but he could tell Floyd was trying to keep his cool even though the press conference and its details were unfolding in a way he wasn't expecting.
Floyd said he was blindsided during the press conference.

I lost it when mcgregor appeared :lol1:
GTFOH with your Canelo curse that does not exist you ignorant superstitious fool. What's with this our TBE BS. Mayweather is a great fighter but not TBE. It takes more than a TBE hat and shirt to really be TBE. It's OK to be a big Mayweather fan but you take Mayweather ass kissing to the extreme. If this little Japanese bad ass beats Mayweather it will be because he is better today and not because of your stupid Canelo curse that only exists in your pea brain.
WTF are YOU talking about?!?! N O B O D Y has done it better than T.B.E. That's why he IS The Best Ever.
You was right.
I'll give him credit too.
I only thought it was strange that he wasn't talking ***** as he usually does, but didn't think anything was fishy.
You were on point and your senses were going off. Good work.

roflmao thats somne funny ****, the japanese old guy i've seen before in some japanese movies
Google Mayweather's net worth and you'll see he is worth 560 million bucks. He doesn't owe the Japanese mob money. He is fighting a guy 21 pounds lighter than himself so why are you worried? Why does Mayweather deserve all the worry? What about this little Japanese fighter? Who worries about him? He is a great fighter himself. If he can beat the much older but much larger great Mayweather he deserves full credit for an historic win. Mayweather will still be great even if he loses. Most great fighters eventually lose when they continue to fight many years past their prime.just googled it and according to Forbes he is worth 285 million as of 7/16/18
The japanese MOB is nothing to play with. Add that with the ongoing Canelo Curse, the future is looking bleak for our TBE
