Retired professional boxing superstar "Money" Floyd Mayweather Jr. It was announced on Saturday that it plans to return to the ring in an exhibition match in Dubai on Feb. 20.
Mayweather, now 44, continues his exhibition game, where he makes a lot of money through pay-per-view. It's unclear who Mayweather is against in this comeback? But it's safe to say that it's likely to be a wildly popular opponent, and in doing so he can sell the game to the public to make money. It is worth mentioning that if Mayweather continues to pull non-boxers into the ring, his boxing fans will not buy Mayweather's exhibition matches, because they have lost interest.
At this point, Mayweather could only rely on his old boxing fans to buy his matches, as younger people had never seen him play professional boxing.
"Big business, big business, big business," Floyd Mayweather said. On Saturday, he announced to the media that he plans to host a major boxing exhibition in Dubai in 2022.
"2022 in Dubai, right here. Exhibition Competition, Event for 2022. See you later," said Mayweather, a 44-year-old bearded man.
Last June, Mayweather had a successful PPV match with Yutur Logan Paul. Mayweather didn't look very good and the game wasn't as fun as he didn't have KO amateur Paul.
If Mayweather continues to do exhibition matches and peddle games to the public, he is better off playing with a boxer than a celebrity who will ruin his reputation. If boxing fans can't provide the entertainment they want, fans will stop buying Mayweather's boxing show shows.
It will be interesting to see Mayweather and these boxers playing a few games against their established opponents: Oscar de la Hoa Felix Trinidad Shaun Mosli Fernando Vargas Bernard Hopkins Julian Jackson Winch Wrightjoi Karzag Carl Froch Mayweather has made it clear that he does not want to fight boxers, so he may rule out fighting any retired boxer. Unless Mayweather starts playing against the former boxer, he will be getting less and less rewarded because he hasn't played a fun match in years.
Mayweather had one last fun match against Marcos Maidana in May 2014. It was a match in which Midana appeared to beat Mayweather, but the judges ruled over 12 rounds that Mayweather had won.
