By Shivam Khatwani Modified 01 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Floyd Mayweather (left) and Mikuru Asakura (right) Floyd Mayweather has justified not fighting Mikuru Asakura in MMA. 'Money' will lace up his boxing gloves once again later this month as he takes on Japanese MMA star Mikuru Asakura in an exhibition bout on September 25. Ahead of the highly anticipated bout, Mayweather revealed the reason for not having an MMA fight against the Japanese star and suggested that he's being paid for boxing and not MMA. 'Money' also spoke about how he calls all the shots being the A-side, something he worked really hard for. While comparing himself to his former opponent Conor McGregor, Mayweather said: "If RIZIN wanted me to do MMA, they would've paid for MMA, they paid for boxing and remember, I'm the A-side. So when you're the A-side you call all the shots. You know, I've busted my a** and worked extremely hard to be the boss, no different from Conor McGregor. Floyd Mayweather is always the boss, always in control." Watch the Mayweather vs. Asakura press-conference below:

What's the use of making a lot of money when you can't stay in shape to be here long enough to enjoy with your family and loved ones.
