Tszyu: The idea of Nurmagomedov vs Mayweather is only a part of the show

The idea of the fight between the UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather is nothing more than part of the show. Such an opinion was shared by the former undisputed world boxing champion Kostya Tszyu.

On Sunday, a video appeared in Instagram of the head of boxing promotional company Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe, in which a 30-year-old Russian fighter suggested the fight with Mayweather without specifying what sport it should be. On Monday, Mayweather posted a response, calling on American TV channels to "prepare checkbooks."

"This is a show, but show must go on. If this fight takes place, then we need to understand the rules. Twelve rounds according to the rules of boxing, and Khabib, no matter how much I support him, has no chances. In UFC there’s no chance for Mayweather. Money talks, as they say," said Tszyu.
