Floyd Mayweather requested rule change in the middle of exhibition fight

Floyd Mayweather asked to extend the length of the rounds in the middle of his latest exhibition fight against Don Moore.

Mayweather was taken the distance by former sparring partner Don Moore as the pair met over eight two-minute rounds in an exhibition clash in the Middle East. The fight was supposed to take place last Saturday, but was pushed back after the passing of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

The skill-gap between the two fighters was evident as the fight got underway, with Mayweather using his speed advantage to best Moore in the early exchanges. 'Money' continued to put on a show and winked at the camera whilst calling for three-minute rounds at the halfway stage.
