\nFloyd Mayweather Jr. is becoming a worldwide carnival act. In the latest attempt at \u201ccome beat the champion,\u201d Mayweather took his talents over to Japan, where he beat the brakes off of some guy named Tenshin Nasukawa.
In what was billed as an exhibition fight, Nasukawa and Mayweather… hell, I don\u2019t even know what to call it as they didn\u2019t really fight. I mean the other guy was fighting but Mayweather was over in the ring in full black and face paint because even he knew this was a robbery.
This foolishness didn\u2019t even last a round. In fact, if you didn\u2019t know it was happening, you wouldn\u2019t be alone as Mayweather, who will usually talk about anything, barely mentioned it was happening.
Mayweather basically went to Japan for what was supposed to be a three-round nine-minute boxing show and walked away with a cool $9 million dollars for less than a round of work.
First, I\u2019m unsure why fighters who aren\u2019t boxers keep thinking they can beat arguably the best living boxer. Nasukawa is a kickboxer according to his Wikipedia page, and I guess he\u2019d thought it\u2019d be fun to get beat up in front of a crowd by the best boxer walking while limiting himself to only using two of his weapons and half of his arsenal.
Secondly, Mayweather didn\u2019t even attempt to make this fight as entertaining as the Connor McGregor fight. Maybe he did and just didn\u2019t expect Nasukawa to fall so quickly, but Mayweather just got paid a cool $9 million for 139 seconds of work with a kickboxer who couldn\u2019t hang with some of the fighters that train at Mayweather\u2019s gym.
Sounds like someone got robbed.
You can watch the entire fight here. Don\u2019t worry, the introductions of the fighters lasted way longer than the actual fight.<\/p>\n
