‘The Best Ever’ said, “We don’t like to say it’s a fight. We don’t like to say it’s exhibition. We like to say it’s a limited edition boxing showcase because this is for a very unique crowd, a very limited crowd and it’s about entertaining people some very high-end people, so that’s why I don’t really wanna. We don’t call it an exhibition or a fight because it’s not that. For very private high-end, it’s a very limited crowd.”

However, prior to this much-awaited showdown, ‘Money’ has taken to several exhibition matches. The last he took to ring against UFC star Conor McGregor in the competitive epic blockbuster was in 2017.
