Floyd Mayweather: Flowers thrown at boxing legend’s feet before win vs Mikuru Asakura
Floyd Mayweather recorded a straightforward victory over Japanese MMA fighter and YouTuber Mikuru Asakura.
The legendary boxer said it was going to be an “easy payday, easy cheque, easy opponent” prior to the exhibition bout – and he backed up his pre-fight prediction with a convincing performance in Saitama, Japan.
Mayweather landed a big right hand on Asakura at the end of the second round to seal victory on Sunday’s Rizin Fighting Federation card.
The 45-year-old will pocket up to €20 million for the fight, per ESPN.
Not bad for a few minutes’ work.
