Floyd Mayweather has claimed he was paid $1million just to take a phone call discussing his exhibition bout with YouTube star Deji.
The legendary 50-0 boxer has been competing in exhibition matches around the world since retiring from the professional game in 2017 with a perfect record. And his next rival will be British social media influencer Deji, whom he faces in his third bout of the year at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on November 12.
And he insists that to even begin negotiations for the match-up, which surprised fans when it was leaked online, cost promoters Global Titans seven-figures. Mayweather could hardly keep a straight face in Las Vegas yesterday when he went head-to-head with the social media star for the first time, and told the story of how he ended up facing Deji.
