I was thinking he could easily be approached by some mega rich guy to do it just for fun. Loose his official pay, get a big fat envelope instead.

If he did ko him with a kick I'd imagine he'd make more money just from TV appearances than he's getting for show money. Hed be able to live off it for years where if he just goes in and gets shown up for a few rounds in a year or so he'll just be back to where he is now really.

Was there a massive difference in size? There normal fighting weight is obviously massively different was that pretty apparent?

Yeah mate, and Floyd wasn't even trying. He was throwing stupid shots and dropping his hands down then dropped him three times and that's all she wrote.

Embarrassing stuff for Floyd.

What the hell is he doing.

Was expecting it to be one sided but not quite that bad. $9m for 2 minutes work not too shabby!

You have to look at it from a business perspective, he got a minimum of 9m for that **** show.

cletus

The whole fight just looked weird. First knockdown looked like Floyd tripped him, third knockdown, Tenshin looked odd in the way he was scrambling to get back up.

Floyd looked much bigger all right

Making money! Don't think he cares much for his legacy as a boxer probably feels that's locked in. That much money for exhibition fight f it why not take it and go buy something nice!

mdwexford

Could he not have taken an easy boxing match in Vegas and got 100 million.

Perhaps wants to take no chance of a loss at this stage however remote the chances.

Lukker-

Only 4 kg difference for weight apparently. Floyd literally looks like he rolled off the couch.

9m is just show money, he’ll clear we’ll over 50m for that. Not bad for something he probably did no camp for.

The Nal

That was just weird

The way your man reacted to the first knock-down (trip?) looked theatrical as hell. He flailed around and rolled over onto his belly ... it just did not look natural.

Not going to over-analyse it ... it was a weird freakshow fight in Japan with odd circumstances in the build-up. You never know what's going on in Japan with gambling fixes, shoots, 'exhibitions' etc. I don't know what I was supposed to be looking at.

First one looked weird but I think it just caught him off guard. Floyd only started throwing seriously when he got tagged by a left hook. After that he just walked forward without any respect for his power.

I can't imagine Rizin would have a fix in that literally made one of their star attractions look like a little child getting slapped by a flabby 41 year old.

Multiple parties can fix a fight, it doesn't have to be the organization. Can be a gambling syndicate or other third party. One or both fighters can be in on it.

All sorts of weird stuff happens in Japan, you hear the old Pride stories about passports being confiscated.

Floyd looked mortified during the initial fight press conference, pulled out when he got back on American soil, then it's back on. Is it a fight or an exhibition? Were both guys treating it as a fight? I have no idea. Just too much weirdness surrounding this.

Zero-Cool

Full fight here, skip the first 15 minutes of bollox acting. Embarrassing to watch. Looked like Floyd was happy acting the eejit until Tenshin actually connected with him in the first exchange and Floyd decided to just wreck him. The falling, crying, dancing, awful shyte.

Mayweather caught him a few times but really think the guy was selling the punches as every time he got knocked down it was like a funeral but then he found his balance instantly once the ref asked him to continue.
These cards always come across weird and not just the theatrics. Even Horiguchi winning the guillotine was strange. It was like Caldwell put his head right into it, maybe he was tired after the opening 2 rounds but it was only a 3 round title fight.
Gabi Garcia would legit be the most intimidating woman on the planet if she could strike, even without the supplements she's physically quite imposing and I can see why the Japanese like her. How Mackenzie Dern survived grappling her several times is a mystery.
The Teepee choke was something else, still can't wrap my head around it

jimmii

Was really expecting him to put in a much better showing than that. Granted he may have never been hit like that before but it was like he had never taken a hit before at all bizarre.

Autecher

John Kavanagh is coaching 13 fighters for the Dublin Bellator show in February. They are all in camp at the same time. 4 weeks in Ireland, 2 in Iceland then back home a week before the show. He is a very hardworking man I will give him that.

Autecher

Bellator signed an 0-12 fighter to a contract to fight at Bellator 216 but the fight was pulled by the commission. Things like this is why people that say that Bellator will surpass the UFC are very wrong.
