When the sports streaming service DAZN announced it had signed Mexican boxing star Saul (Canelo) Alvarez to an 11-fight, $365-million contract, retired fight legend Floyd Mayweather reacted as we would expect. The recent announcement that Floyd Mayweather would fight a 20-year-old kickboxing star seemed legit. The boxing star now says he was taken for a ride. His tactical, defence-first style wouldn’t otherwise attract casual boxing fans, but he stoked hatred in fans who would pay to see him lose. The announcement of the Nasukawa fight came with a poster and a press conference and seemed legitimate, even if it was novelty fight.
