    Floyd will fight Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa at the NYE show. Rules are not formalized but it is likely to be heavily in Floyd's favour with kicks, knees, and elbows banned. Sounds like it will be boxing with MMA gloves and tight clinching rules. Wow.

    Given what Floyd normally makes to fight I'm guessing this is a huge paycut for him. Even at $10MM it's barely worth his time when he's been making five to ten times that.

    Dude was either held against his will by the yakuza and forced to announce the fight, or watched some tape and thought to himself "like hell this guy is gonna be allowed to kick me."

    Maybe they paid him to do this for attention?

    Mayweather has said the fight is back on. It will be a boxing/sparring exhibition apparently.

    "We're going to make it happen. It's going to be a little boxing exhibition. No kicking.

    "I'm moving around with the guy for nine minutes, and of course it's going to be the highest-paid exhibition ever."


    Wow, sounds like a can't miss. /s
