FLOYD MAYWEATHER returns to Japan this weekend for the latest of his money-spinning exhibition bouts.
This time Mayweather takes on MMA star Mikuru Asakura, who is as handy on YouTube as he is with his limbs with 2 MILLION subscribers.
Mayweather last fought in Japan in December 2018, when he pummelled kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa inside a round.
The 45-year-old says he is getting $20m for this exhibition fight, though rival Conor McGregor has doubted this claim.
In a now-deleted tweet, he wrote: “He also said he made 100m to spar the Logan guy yet never made the Forbes list top 100.
“He hasn’t cleared 20 million in 1 full year since 2017. When we fought the last time. Otherwise he’d have been on the list.”
