It depends on the rules. In boxing Floyd wins but pretty much anythiing beyond that he's in big trouble.

Ariel Helwani said he was told by insiders that its very doubtful that this will be an mma fight.

I won't be anything close to MMA but it could have elements of kickboxing sprinkled in.

Did you guys watch the first video?

 

My guess is that it'll be boxing with small gloves & a bit of dirty boxing allowed to even things up since Floyd is much bigger & a more skilled boxer. Floyd won't sign up for elbows, knees, kicks or grappling tho.

 

Here's a highlight reel of Tenshin from 5:00

3 x 3 minute rounds in an exhibition fight with a much smaller guy with undeclared rules....for 100 million bucks. Could be simply a money grab. Floyd likely has another angle going on though. If it's just money he wants he could fight Paceao or Khabib & make 300-400 million.

This has been cancelled as per post on Floyd's IG:

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.
