We are both entitled to our opinions. And while your scenario makes sense, the rumors flying around are that either Floyd got a piece of RIZIN out of the deal, which would certainly be good for RIZIN longterm, since Floyd turns anything he touches into money, or that he didn't make much on the deal bc his manager is in debt to the Yakuza and did this as a favor. With the bizarre way this came out of nowhere, both scenarios are plausible. It's hard to believe that RIZIN would simply have the money lying around to pay him, but offering a stake would make sense, since it is a way for Floyd to use his name and continue generating money in the future without even having to fight. The latter rumor is something I know less about, as I wouldn't claim to be the biggest boxing fan out there and am not completely familiar with Al Haymon, but a common thread that has been brought up is that he deals with mafioso types. It could be that with Floyd planning to rematch Pacquiao in Tokyo that the Yakuza didn't want to allow that to happen without Floyd doing something to help Japan. Floyd stands to make an enormous amount off of the Japanese people, and one thing that is certainly true is that no large sum of money goes through a sporting event in Japan without the Yakuza being involved, probably especially with a sport like boxing.
Either way, all just speculation. Could be truth to any of that, could be simply trying to reason what happened. What we know to be fact though is that anything Floyd touches prospers. It always generates eyes and money. I can't see this as being anything but good for RIZIN, whatever the case may be.
