    It’ll be straight up boxing.

    No way Mayweather agrees to anything else.

    Very sceptical that will go ahead, it just doesn’t add up at all. If he wants money then go fight one of Pacquiao, Conor or Khabib for close to 9 figures and no risk.

    If it takes place I can only see it being straight boxing or boxing with MMA gloves, but then you have to ask.....what the * is the point in him beating some unknown (even to the majority of boxing/MMA fans) Japanese kickboxer?

    Even the mention of Floyd fighting has given Rizin huge press they could only dream of. The young Japanese lad will become a household name, so it works for him and Rizin. Floyd will be getting paid good money as well, and Floyd will do anything for money even appearing on adverts selling windows in UK. I'm also skeptical if the fight will happen, but Pacquiao is going to be busy fighting Broner and Dana has said he won't allow Khabib to box Floyd so that won't happen yet.

    I'd be utterly shocked if this is a kickboxing fight, I think it will only be Boxing with maybe elbows as kicks would me madness and even knees would be a risk as this kid is beast with his flying knees, the kid looks dangerous everywhere.

    He'd be crazy to allow elbows too; elbows finish fights.

    It'll be boxing rules. Mayweather would never take this fight it it was anything other.
