Recently, "Money Boxer" Mayweather announced his comeback and will hold a boxing exhibition match in Dubai on May 14. In 2021, Mayweather was tied with his opponent in an exhibition match with internet celebrity Logan Paul, who said after the game that he began to consider not playing boxing exhibition matches anymore. However, in January this year, it was reported that Mayweather was back out of the jianghu to play an exhibition match with Fu Er Dai, but in the end, the match did not take shape.
In the past, the opponents selected by Mayweather were celebrities with popularity flow, or the UFC's signature superstar Mouth Cannon at that time, or the Japanese fighting star Nasugawa Tenshin, or the tens of millions of fans of Internet celebrity Paul, but this time Mayweather's opponent is unknown, this person is named Don Moore, a boxer from the United States. Moore's career was 19-18 wins, 1 draw and 12 KO, but he did not win the title of boxing champion. Moore hasn't played in any boxing since 2016. According to foreign media reports, Moore was often recruited by Mayweather as a sparring partner.

Therefore, it can be said that Mayweather's choice of Moore surprised everyone. Many foreign media have revealed that Mayweather's move may be related to his beloved apprentice Davis, as we all know, Davis is a disciple of Mayweather's favorite, known as "Mayweather's dry son". Davis is also very competitive, with a current professional record of 26 wins against 24 KO, and won the WBA (Super), IBF Super Featherweight (59 kg) World Gold Belt, WBA Lightweight (61 kg), WBA Ultra Lightweight (63.5 kg) World Champion Gold Belt.
However, recently, it has also been reported on the Internet that Davis is not satisfied with the career arrangement given to him by Mayweather, and the relationship between the two has cracked. On April 7, US time, Mayweather held a press conference to announce the same time as playing the exhibition game again, and it was also a press conference for Davis to announce his WBA lightweight gold belt defense battle. Mayweather's move undoubtedly stole a lot of Davis' attention from this game. Mayweather explained that UFC legend "Spider" Silva, who was also playing together on the day of his own exhibition match, had time, so this day was the only day where he could hold a press conference.

However, many media outlets were not convinced by Mayweather's remarks, as he set the game on May 14, and two weeks later, May 28 was Davis' gold belt defense. From all indications, there is indeed a gap between Mayweather and Davis, and I wonder whether Mayweather's sudden exhibition match will encounter Waterloo at the box office, and whether he and Davis will lose both?
