In Dubai for the showdown with British YouTuber Deji Olatunji, The Money is painting the town red. Cameras are following his every move. Not one to disappoint, Floyd is likewise playing to the gallery.

A video clip of Mayweather dancing to some Arabic music shows the champion getting annoyed when his trainer Gerald Tucker starts filming his moves. Telling him to go away, the champion utters, “Get that camera off my face. Stop Playing. GT, Get that camera off……”.

When Floyd Mayweather Got Eliminated

Dancing with the Stars is a mega reality show pairing celebrities with professional dancers. Beginning in 2005, the program has covered 31 seasons so far. In the 5th season, Floyd participated, pairing up with Ukrainian- American Karina Smirnoff. They were eliminated on 16th October and placed 9th in the overall ranking.

The forty-five-year-old boxer is enjoying his retired life to the fullest. Barely perturbed by the outcome of the exhibition match, the new place and people seem to have had an agreeable effect on him. So much so that even when Anthony Taylor, fighting on the undercard of the Floyd – Deji match, interrupted the press conference, Floyd was entirely in control and responded very composedly.

This is the fifth exhibition match Floyd is participating in. Out of the four, two – against Logan Paul and Don Moore, were non-scoring bouts. In the remaining two, against Tenshin Nasukawa and Mikuru Asakura, he won through technical knockouts.

Everyone already seems inexpugnable on the outcome. Critics think the tub-thumping may be futile, as all we may end up with is an unobtrusive Floyd Mayweather toying with an inexperienced YouTuber. After all, Logan Paul still considers himself lucky to have survived against the Money. Nevertheless, the undercard still has some exciting options available to watch.
