Floyd Mayweather Charges Whopping Fees for Press Conference Appearances

The living legend in the name of Floyd Mayweather needs no introduction in the world of boxing. But the latest update around his press conference for the third exhibition fight of the year has certainly thrown light on why the former champ is often labeled as ‘Money’?

After taking retirement from the sport in 2017 with a perfect 50-0, ‘The Pretty Boy‘ engaged in landing the exhibition showdowns around the world. These showdowns are like title contests in many ways, but they are meant especially to entertain combat sport fans and earn money, which Mayweather is doing well.

Last week, Mayweather’s team made it official that the five weight division former champ is again taking himself to the ring for the third time. After this announcement, a press conference was held to promote the event.

There is no doubt. Mayweather can make such a sum as he is a genius when it comes to selling a fight. There is no one who could deny that Mayweather is the most intelligent boxers of all times, when it comes to making money. Surprisingly, his exhibitions made more money than the title clashes of modern day boxing.

Who is the opponent of Floyd Mayweather?

Mayweather’s choice of opponent, and the venue for the exhibitions, goes through an extensive process. Earlier he fought his former sparring partner Don Moore in Saudi Arabia and now he is all set to battle with the Japanese MMA artist, Mikuru Asakura.

The fight will take place on September 25 inside the Saitama Super Arena in Japan. The 30-year-old Asakura has never shared the ring with a man, who is so great as Mayweather, so it could be tough for him to handle the pressure.
