The fight is scheduled for September 25 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Ahead of his fight, Mayweather stated that the exhibition matches were a "joke" for him, claiming he did not even know the name of his upcoming opponent. 'Money' said: "Actually I have never seen my opponent compete as an MMA fighter. I have never seen him compete as a boxer. I don't know his weight class. I don't even know his name. And I don't even know the rules. When I am doing these exhibitions, my opponents, they take it serious. To me, it's just a joke."

I mean wtaf3@MichaelBensonn @rizin_PR There is so much funny stuff going around this guy and his 20 Million pound exhibition fights. I mean wtaf Floyd Mayweather talks about a potential fight with Jake Paul In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, 'Money' claimed that he is willing to take on 'The Problem Child' in a "real fight" provided Paul comes down to Mayweather's weight class. 'Money' also claimed that things will start to look "bad" for Paul should face a "real actual fighter" like Floyd Mayweather. Giving his opinion on a potential boxing match against 'The Problem Child', the 45-year old said: “He [Jake Paul] said I don’t wanna do an exhibition against Floyd Mayweather. He said I am only doing real fights and of course I can’t get up high in weight but I will fight him in a real fight at the weight that I am at but Jake Paul I mean as of right now, what he is doing is good for what he is doing but once he fights a real actual real fighter, it’s going to be bad.” You can check out Floyd Mayweather's full interview with TMZ Sports below: × Rate this story!
