Floyd Mayweather looks set to make another lucrative trip to Japan. The undefeated boxer tells U.S. media he has another exhibition match lined up there in July.
Yesterday TMZ featured a video in which the multiple time boxing world champion claimed to have been offered $10 million USD to fight a retired Japanese boxer in a three round exhibition match,
“I got one in Japan in July for like $10 million, three rounds. It’s a Japanese boxer, a former boxer,” he told TMZ.
Mayweather claims he will be making $80mn USD in 2018 from participating in these matchups. The 41 year old also claimed he could make significantly more by fighting for the UFC, but says he is firmly focused on exhibition boxing matches.
On New Year’s Eve Mayweather faced Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition match at Rizin 14. It was a very easy night’s work for him as he stopped the Japanese kickboxer in under a round.
