However, he didn’t snub the contest entirely and several fans, including Logan Paul, are optimistic about the exhibition clash taking place. That said, Mayweather might have joined hands with UFC chief Dana White and RIZIN chief Nobu Sakakibara to launch a blockbuster fighting event.

Floyd Mayweather is well-known for staging blockbuster crossover fights, which we saw in 2017. Meanwhile, looking at the current scenario, we can envision him repeating the stance once again.

Floyd Mayweather, RIZIN, and the UFC

Undefeated five-division champion Floyd Mayweather has collaborated with both the fighting promotions, after putting a quell on his glittery boxing career. In 2017, Mayweather faced UFC star Conor McGregor in one of the biggest showdowns of all time in the sporting history.

It paved the path for several crossovers, and Mayweather registered the 50 win of his pro career via a fashionable TKO stoppage. He bagged lucrative checks and global attention from the fight community and retained his aura as the biggest superstar of boxing.

While many believed it would be Mayweather’s last fight, he shocked the world by reappearing in 2018. Floyd Mayweather flew down to Japan and faced Kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a boxing bout at RIZIN.

It was a lopsided performance, as Nasukawa couldn’t pose any threat to Mayweather. Instead, he remained on the wrong end of the beat down. Adding to that, Mayweather looked extremely relaxed. He smiled his way whilst landing vicious shots and won the fight.

Bagging another lucrative pay-check, Mayweather stayed away from the spotlight. However, almost three years later, he seems to have regained his itch to fight and this collaboration can be a sign of big things on the horizon.
