Bad news for boxing fans. Floyd Mayweather Jr.‘s long-awaited return to the ring was postponed due to news that the residents of Dubai are mourning about.
Money’s exhibition fight against American Don Moore scheduled for Saturday, May 14, was postponed due to the sensitive news of the death of United Arab Emirates President Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, according to information provided by the event’s promoter Global Titans.
“As of Saturday, work in the country will be suspended in all federal, local and private secretaries, departments and entities,” according to a statement issued by the state-controlled media outlet, WAM.
This delays the return of the 45-year-old undefeated former American champion, who for the moment has not commented on the unexpected event, which is logically a financial setback for him.
When is Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s fight going to happen?
In the coming days, event organizers are expected to announce a new date for the showcase event, which also features a fight between former UFC champion Anderson Silva and Bruno Machado. The fans will have to wait for the new Mayweather vs Moore date.
Let’s remember that Mayweather Jr. retired from professional boxing in 2017, with an undefeated record of 50 wins without defeat, including unforgettable triumphs over boxing greats such as Manny Pacquiao and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
What is Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s net worth?
The American is regarded as one of the most efficient boxers in the sport’s history, as well as a master of multi-million dollar deals that have helped him amass an enormous wealth.
Thanks to this, Mayweather Jr. currently has a net worth of $450 million, according to information provided by the Celebrity Net Worth site.
Despite the fact that The Money‘s professional sports career ended 5 years ago, he continues to make a lot of money, primarily through appearances at exhibition events. For example, he received more than $60 million for his resounding fight against youtuber Logan Paul, in an event held on June 6, 2021.
