Floyd Mayweather risked his boxing legacy and went straight for a multi-million payday when he fought the YouTuber, Logan Paul, in an exhibition last year. Despite failing to score a KO, and departing the arena with a draw, Mayweather may still have the itch to trade punches against celebrity opponents.

The 44-year-old has clarified of being done facing professional punchers. It apparently imposed his position in the exhibition sphere, where he can continue spinning millions with his pugilistic appearances. That said, Floyd Mayweather and social media star ‘Money Kicks,’ are reportedly aligned to lock horns in February.

The reports became viable after Money Kicks sat down with Sky Sports and detailed his mindset, preparations, and plans on squaring off against the undefeated five-division world champion. Rashed Bel Hasa, aka ‘Money Kicks’, is dubbed as ‘the richest kid in Dubai’, and boats millions of followers on social media. This showcases his ability to amass legitimate pay-per-view success if put inside the ring with Floyd Mayweather.

Nevertheless, several factors cite the matchup to be dead in the water. With no official declaration onboard yet, here’s a look at the reasons that curb the possibilities of seeing Floyd Mayweather vs Money Kicks.

Floyd Mayweather vs Money Kicks- No Promotion Yet

A Floyd Mayweather showdown calls for extreme advertisement and promotions that go on the line for months before we see the fight happen. Well, this time, Mayweather hasn’t promoted any of his moves towards facing Belhasa (Money Kicks).

This is the reason enough to believe the fight isn’t taking place anytime soon. Even the exhibition against Logan Paul saw Floyd Mayweather promote it all over the Internet. He isn’t doing the same while being reportedly aligned with ‘Money Kicks’. But there are more reasons to add on, that complicate the future of the fight.
