Mayweather floors Japan’s Nasukawa in just two minutes
TOKYO -- (UPDATED) Floyd "Money" Mayweather beat Japanese kickboxing phenomenon Tenshin Nasukawa by a technical knockout Monday after just two minutes of a New Year's Eve "exhibition" bout that brought the US boxing superstar out of retirement for a big pay day. In a mismatched contest, Mayweather floored Nasukawa, a kickboxer less than half his age, three times in the first round of the three-round contest before the Japanese fighter's trainer rushed in to stop the fight. "Money" Mayweather has hinted on social media he was pocketing $9 million for the fight, meaning he earned around $4.5 million per minute for the spectacle. The American boxer at first appeared not to be taking the fight seriously, grinning at his opponent and aiming only soft punches at him.

Sensing his opponent was struggling, … [Read more...] about Mayweather floors Japan’s Nasukawa in just two minutes
