Floyd Mayweather ha cambiado de parecer y a través de su cuenta oficial de Instagram ha ofrecido declaraciones en donde deja ver que jamás había aceptado un enfrentamiento con el japonés y estrella del kick boxing, Tenshin Nasukawa, y que jamás había oído hablar del mismo hasta apenas esta semana.

Mayweather declaró que solo se le había pedido que compitiera en un evento no televisado para «espectadores dignos» «Esto iba a ser una exhibición para un pequeño grupo de espectadores adinerados por una tarifa muy grande», dijo Mayweather.


“Una vez que llegué a la conferencia de prensa, mi equipo y yo estábamos completamente descarrilados por la nueva dirección en la que iba este evento y deberíamos haberlo detenido de inmediato.»

“Les puedo asegurar que yo también fui completamente engañado por los arreglos que se hicieron sin mi consentimiento ni aprobación. Dudé en crear una gran perturbación al combatir lo que se decía y por eso lo siento mucho «.

Mayweather continuó: “En primer lugar, quiero que quede claro que yo, Floyd Mayweather, nunca acepté un combate oficial con Tenshin Nasukawa.»

«De hecho (con el debido respeto) nunca he oído hablar de él hasta este reciente viaje a Japón.»

«Me pidieron que participara en una exhibición de nueve minutos de tres asaltos con un oponente seleccionado por la Federación de Combates de Rizen».

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.
