Floyd Mayweather, one of the biggest boxing stars of the last decade, failed to sell out his most recent exhibition bout. Mayweather fought Aaron Chalmers at the O2 Arena in London on February 25. However, the fight failed to attract audiences because the 20,000-person Arena was mostly empty.
Mayweather has a perfect professional boxing record of 50-0 and is considered one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time. Since his retirement in 2017, Mayweather has participated in various exhibition bouts against the likes of Logan Paul, Deji Olatunji, Mikuru Asakura, etc. In these fights, Mayweather continued to make millions by selling big crowds and sponsorships.
After his successful exhibition bout, Mayweather went public to say that he was working fast and making money. He also criticized fans who mocked him for holding exhibition bouts.
He said: “Who really is the smartest one in the sport of boxing?” If you guys don’t want to see me do any exhibitions, don’t come and don’t watch. “When it comes to legalised bank robbery, I’m the best.”
However, it seems the boxer is currently failing to do so, as the fans are not prying watching his exhibition bouts. It would be interesting to see if the boxer could find another way to bring back his hype among boxing fans.
