WrestleMania alumnus Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather has said that he will make his debut for the RIZIN MMA promotion in Japan after all. Mayweather was originally skeptical agreeing but since told TMZ Sports that he will, in fact, go ahead with the scheduled bout against but had said that there will be no kicking in the bout it will just be a boxing exhibition, and a great payday at that:
“Rules? It’s gonna be a little boxing exhibition. No kicking,” Floyd told us … “I’m moving around with the guy for 9 minutes, and of course it’s gonna be the highest paid exhibition ever.”
Bottom line … the money’s just too good to pass up, as long as the fight goes down on Floyd’s terms.
“It’s a no-brainer. Just because I’m retired from boxing,” Mayweather says, “I still make appearances worldwide and make a ton of money.”
