Floyd Mayweather retired from Boxing three years ago, Floyd who had announced that he was set to “come out of retirement in 2020”, is yet to be seen in any active ring action be it for exhibition nor for a title challenge.

The middleweight boxing legend who retired from the sport with an unbeaten record of 50-0, is no stranger to fighting in Japan, in 2018 he fought the MMA Japanese star Tenshin Nasukawa. Mayweather made a fortune from the fight taking home roughly $9million in a fight that only lasted 2-minutes. Mayweather had Nasukawa on his backside twice within the first 2-minutes of the fight.

Floyd Mayweather is believed to have earned an estimated $300 million from the points victory over Pacquiao, which remains the most lucrative fight in history and generated more than $600 million in revenue.
