“Who Wants to Watch Chicken Running Around?”: Floyd Mayweather Shredded Into Pieces as ‘Worst Fight’ Clip Makes Boxing World Go Berserk

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.
