The Official Promo For Mayweather Vs. Nasukawa Has Dropped And It's Bizarre

The official promotional video for Floyd Mayweather vs. Tenshin Nasukawa has dropped, and it's bizarre.

Mayweather's on-off-then-on-again exhibition bout against Japanese kickboxing sensation is happening on New Years Eve in Tokyo, Japan, under strict rules.

It's three, three minute rounds with both fighters set to wear MMA gloves.

Oh, and there's no judges to score the contest.

"It's all about entertainment," well, that's according to the man himself who'll pocket a cool nine-figure purse.

And the promo for the bout is pretty entertaining, too. In a weird way.

Bizarre.

Needless to say, it got plenty of people talking. Here's some reaction from Twitter:

Brilliant.

The match-up, meanwhile, continues to attract interest (mostly bad) with people in the boxing world slating the bout.

But Mayweather could care less and has insisted he's in the 'entertainment business'.

"Nine minutes of entertainment... I'm in the entertainment business," he said.

"This will be full contact competition but the bout is not going on boxing or MMA records," a Mayweather's spokesperson said.

Nasukawa is hoping to a make a big impression against one of the greatest boxers in recent time.

"There has never been a Japanese fighter to face Floyd Mayweather in the ring," he said.

"I would like to make a big impression. I want to get the whole fight community, the whole country of Japan and the entire world involved in this fight."
