Mayweather’s previous exhibition fights

Money Mayweather has drawn criticism from boxing purists for some of his recent fights. Mayweather retired from the sport after achieving 50 wins without suffering a single defeat. He then went on to make more money than he did in boxing by participating in special exhibition bouts.

The most famous of these was against UFC star Conor McGregor.

Money Mayweather also competed against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in Tokyo, a fight which earned him $9 million for just three minutes in the ring.

Last year Mayweather took on YouTuber-turned-boxer Logan Paul in a special event titled Bragging Rights. The event reportedly sold one million pay-per-view buys and earned Money Mayweather a massive $65 million cheque.
