RIZIN ‘gave him a script’ - Sonnen says Mayweather will only make $8M for exhibition bout

At this point in his career, Floyd Mayweather Jr. can choose to do whatever he wants. And that’s what the 45-year-old undefeated boxing star has done so far by signing up for a boxing exhibition match against former title challenger Mikuru Asakura this weekend under Rizin.

And true to his nickname, Floyd Jr. announced an easy huge payday for himself.

‘From this exhibition alone I will be making somewhere upwards of $15-20million. That’s just from this exhibition. So, it’s cool. Nine minutes, 20 million, not bad,” he said in a recent interview.

But someone else who usually has some inside information begs to differ.
