  • Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Being Lined Up For Exhibition Bout in China

    It looks like Floyd Mayweather is getting back in the boxing ring. But, sadly for Manny Pacquiao and his hopes for a rematch, it’s another exhibition bout, and this time in China.

    “Money” made US$9 million for 136 seconds of work knocking out Japanese kick-boxer Tenshin Nasukawa in Saitama, just outside Tokyo, on New Year’s Eve.

    Now the undefeated American (50-0) – who claims he is retired from professional fighting – seems to have lined up another big pay day in Asia.

    The Mission Hills Group has invited media to attend a press conference in Haikou, Hainan on September 18 to announce Mayweather’s “first fight in China”.

    The press conference will announce that Mayweather will hold a boxing match in China next year,” a spokesperson told the Post. “We have already got the Hainan government’s temporary approval for this event.

    “But everything needs to be confirmed with Floyd as well. The details are not 100 per cent confirmed yet. We are in the process of negotiating details with Mayweather’s management.”

    No official date has been set for the bout other than 2020. The Post was told there will be a recruitment campaign held in China to find Mayweather’s opponent.

    “This match aims to enhance the friendship between two powerful nations through boxing, gaining popularity for Hainan in the role of an international tourism island and achieving Mission Hills’ vision of bringing world-class sports events to Haikou,” the media invitation added.

    Mayweather was in Hong Kong in June to discuss a potential mega-money exhibition fight with local boxing promoters DEF Promotions. He also visited Tokyo earlier this summer, where he said he hoped to fight more bouts in Japan.

    Pacquiao called for a rematch with the American after beating Keith Thurman in July, but it appears Mayweather remains intent on staying retired from professional fighting.

              Has really conquered professional boxing as a business in a way no other boxer has come close, after 49 fights beating the best for 20 yrs why would he fight a real match when he can make so much money just keeping healthy and reasonably fit, Floyd is in cruise control and reaping the rewards.

                  Except these are exhibition bouts, they don't count toward his record.

                  Hey if people are ****** enough to pay for this more power to him, can't knock the hustle.

                    I don’t blame floyd for getting EASY money but this just makes him look so bad. You say boxing is dangerous which it is so why keep boxing if you value your health. You say you got millions and made smart investments but why fight for 9 million dollars?

                    I have floyd ranked higher than pacquiao in the all time great category but him fighting another inexperienced or novice fighter 3 fights in a row while manny just be thurman makes him look even worse.
