Google translate says that they apologize for misunderstanding, between Floyd and his guy (Brent Johnson?) and will keep us updated.
Hope someone that speaks Japanese can give us better version.

Well, we already know that Floyed LIED in his official statement - there is a reason he posed with Rizin gloves in the social media and promised to "give people what they want" , which means that there WAS NOT supposed to be any PRIVATE exhibition.
So, maybe we'll still get it?
 
Never gonna happen by New Year...

Floyd wins though because people are gonna be talking about him anyway.

That's for sure.

And if the fight doesn't happen, nothing positive happens with both Rizin and Tenshin..
Not every black PR is a good PR
 
Floyd embarrassed himself by announcing this weird fight so quickly then withdrawing...

He’s gonna put this nonsense behind him and hope everyone forgets...
 
Yeah okay whatever people know about Tension now.

Give it a rest.

Mayweather probably got a paid a fortune just to do that. Lol

They don't really "know" him.
After two days of fake news no one is going to remember his name, credentials or company he works for....

What does that get Floyd?
 
The "misunderstanding" was probably that he assumed it was a boxing match with mma gloves on. Rizin probably scoffed at that since he already announced it and insisted on at least kickboxing rules...to which he went full diva, gave them the finger, and backed out. Just my guess though.
 
Very low chance that it happens. Dont see it happening at all unless it is straight boxing, but then there is pretty much no point to watching it then
 
at the end of the day tenshin wins because now everyone know his name because of this charade

No one has the reason to remember his existence, let alone his name, after 2 days of fake news....
 
Floyd chickened out soon as he heard the talk of kickboxing rules, no doubt about it.

Expansion of his brand onto the asian market.

Being thrown about as "The Best Boxer In The World" over there means an uncanny amount of merchandise sales. Could have even been the plan to never fight, just for the same of the promo.

You really think Rizin is the strong side in negotiations and can force the fight rules on Floyd?

Plus, no one would considered him a coward in this case.
Imagine UFC trying to force Floyd MMA rules vs Conor....

Showtime was also in that floyd will fight on nye https://www.ringnews24.com/2018/11/...ecent-fight-announcement-vs-tenshin-nasukawa/
They where in it also in the negotiation, so maybe its the truth floyd ducks tenshin(in kickboxing).
Or he fears the fight will be a mma or kickboxing match when he shows up.
But 100% floyd didnt not write that ig post.
 
At least a bunch of people talking about Tenshin these days. His highlights been passed around, a lot of new people impressed.
 
Nobody in the western world had any idea that "Rizin" was a thing, let alone that Tenshin was someone to check out.

They made global headlines in every major media outlet. Think of the value of that type of immediate, massive exposure in parts of the world they weren't previously reaching.

Floyd got paid a handsome sum of money to do a PR stunt, and we all know he likes seeing his name in the news.

Nothing to see here.

Value of a fraud org with some irrelevant Japanese guy who will never fight Floyd....
 
Damage control. Floyd called them out on their ambush tactics, which means they lost face, and now they’re trying to make up for it. That’s huge in Asian culture.
