Floyd won another exhibition match in Japan,
I have forgotten about that fight, thanks for reminding. Another easy money for Floyd. Google says that Floyd would get 20 millions if he competes and 30 if he wins that fight, and most funny, 1.5 million if he appears on a press conference. Surprisingly, this exhibition fight last more than 1 round.
Damn, 20 - 30 million is a dream money fight for some of the elite boxers that we have right now, Canelo is still the cash cow, but GGG get around that money fighting him. So just imagine those lower weight class champion, I doubt that they can get around how much Floyd is making in exhibition fight in like 6 minutes.
That is the power of being a legendary businessman, err, a legendary and a hall of fame boxer. It isn't easy for Floyd Maywether Jr. to get where he is right now. He invested almost his lifetime in building his reputation and fame. So he is just reaping what he has sawn in his early years.
The problem is those lower class champion doesn't know how to do business. they just put their fate on their promoters and manager who in turn actually reaping huge reward from them.
Sometimes I ask myself, could this be possible if Japan mafia uses such fight for money laundering. I mean it is obvious that Floyd would win and his opponent is a complete mismatch. Paying such huge rewards for few minutes sparring? I bet Floyd did not even train for that fight.
Or why it is that Japan or Rizin si really fond of Floyd and giving him such huge money? Are they getting their money in return from sponsoring Floyd's fight?
It is either of the two, anything is possible but we can't say that they are true because we are just speculating at this point. Probably they are earning somehow because they won't do this kind of sponsoring again and again if they are on the losing end.
Why not get ex-boxers to come out and have some exhibition fights as well?
Simple reason, they are not as controversial and as popular as Floyd Mayweather Jr. Not saying Floyd has a perfect record, something that is worth bragging and worth breaking.
