Floyd Mayweather made his boxing debut in the UK last month, as he held an exhibition match in London. Even though ‘Money’ retired back in 2017, he still refuses to leave boxing. And he still follows his passion by participating in numerous exhibition fights. Now his exhibition fight with Aaron Chalmers did not turn out as was expected by the Mayweather team as not a lot of people showed up in the audience when the fight took place. This did not depict a good picture of Mayweather’s legacy.

Now, this is the worst fight of Mayweather’s career, at least when it comes to the business aspect of the fight. In the fight, ‘Money’ was facing a former MMA fighter, Aaron Chalmers, in front of the world at the O2 Arena. The fight took place on Feb 25, but the empty seats disappointed Mayweather on a whole different level. But still, after the fight, Floyd Mayweather was grateful to the UK audience.

Facebook video adds salt to Mayweather’s wounds

The embarrassing fight of Mayweather’s career was again reminded to the fans by the Facebook account ‘The Ring’. As they posted a video on their Facebook account, covering the event in bullet points, and also called it the ‘worst fight’ of ‘Money’ in the title.


The video highlighted the excuse given by Floyd Mayweather for such a bad exhibition event for the fans. They also stated that even though the concept of the fight was interesting, Mayweather fighting a rising MMA fighter, it did not work. And Mayweather was a bit mad at his team for not organizing the event properly.
