Since beating Andre Berto in 2015, and relinquishing his claim to the WBA, WBC, and Ring welterweight titles Floyd Mayweather’s career in combat sports has only seemed to become more amplified in his desire to minimize potential risk and maximize profit. Always a defensively minded, calculating fighter, Mayweather returned after two years on the sidelines to fight MMA superstar and total boxing neophyte Conor McGregor, in what became one of the highest grossing PPV events of all time.
Then 40-years-old and his record officially at 50-0, he hung up his gloves from regulated competition. And while he has yet to take another pro bout, he returned on NYE of 2018, for a 3-round exhibition fight against world class 125 lb kickboxing talent Tenshin Nasukawa at RIZIN 14.
