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.
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.
Floyd is just enjoying his life with all of these part time huge pay checks that he's getting. Well, whoever are the organizers behind it, they've got budget for it and for sure it's all about bigger marketing that they've set for it.
Everybody now wants to be Floyd on how he makes money and enjoying the fame that he's got. But, I've watched a video of him on how he's serious with his business and matches like this is part of it so, he's just working hard.
Also, if they are not giving a good returns, they should have stop during the first exhibition fight of Floyd in Japan. And it's better though if we will se the number of live gates or if this is PPV televised not just in Japan or somewhere else. So that we can gauge how big the fight is and speculated on how much Rizin company is making.
Because it's seems to be bigger than a fight in the UK or US with promotions like Top Rank and Matchroom.
