Floyd Mayweathwer cancela pelea con Tenshin Nasukawa

Floyd Mayweather anunció por medio de su cuenta de Instagram la cancelación del combate con el peleador japonés de MMA Tenshin Nasukawa.

"Ahora estoy de regreso en Estados Unidos, después de un largo y decepcionante paso por Tokio".

Floyd se encontraba en el país de sol naciente dando promoción a la pelea que sostendría con el nipon, sin embargo parece que alguien  lo cambió todo, pues menciona jamás haber acordado pelear con Nasukawa.

"Nunca estuve de acuerdo con una pelea oficial con Tenshin Nasukawa... Me consultaron para participar en una exhibición de 3 asaltos de 9 minutos con un oponente seleccionado por la Federación de Peleadores Emergentes (no con un profesional)".

También se mostró sorprendido por saber que la pelea sería transmitida a nivel mundial, pues según con lo que se le había mencionado en un principio sería un evento privado.

"Sería puesto en un pequeño grupo de expectadores adinerados... Puramente con propositos de entretenimiento, no sería una pelea oficial transmitida alrededor del mundo".

Al parecer habrían hablado en privado con el 'Money' y después en la conferencia de prensa le cambiaron el plan, o al menos eso es lo que él dice.

Now that I am back on U.S. soil after a long and disappointing trip to Tokyo, I now have the time to address you, my fans and the media in regard to the upcoming event on December 31st that was recently announced. First and foremost, I want it to be clear that I, Floyd Mayweather, never agreed to an official bout with Tenshin Nasukawa. In fact (with all due respect) I have never heard of him until this recent trip to Japan. Ultimately, I was asked to participate in a 9 minute exhibition of 3 rounds with an opponent selected by the "Rizen Fighting Federation". What I was originally informed of by Brent Johnson of "One Entertainment" was that this was to be an exhibition put on for a small group of wealthy spectators for a very large fee. This exhibition was previously arranged as a "Special Bout" purely for entertainment purposes with no intentions of being represented as an official fight card nor televised worldwide. Once I arrived to the press conference, my team and I were completely derailed by the new direction this event was going and we should have put a stop to it immediately. I want to sincerely apologize to my fans for the very misleading information that was announced during this press conference and I can assure you that I too was completely blindsided by the arrangements that were being made without my consent nor approval. For the sake of the several fans and attendees that flew in from all parts of the world to attend this past press conference, I was hesitant to create a huge disturbance by combating what was being said and for that I am truly sorry. I am a retired boxer that earns an unprecedented amount of money, globally, for appearances, speaking engagements and occasional small exhibitions.
