Floyd Mayweather issues ultimatum over rescheduled exhibition fight

Floyd Mayweather has confirmed he wants to push ahead with plans to stage his exhibition fight this Saturday - or he will not fight at all.

The boxing legend was set to face Don Moore last weekend at the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, but the event was cancelled after the death of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed. Mayweather initially claimed the fight had been rescheduled for this coming Saturday, but organisers released a conflicting statement claiming that the event could be delayed until October.

Mayweather has now reportedly issued an ultimatum to the event's organisers by stating: "Either I box Saturday or I don't come." The Coca Cola Arena, which had been due to host a boxing event this weekend regardless, is expected to stage the bout.
