Their fight is onlookers can be seen live.
According to Taktarov, Mayweather decided on such a duel because of his desire to enter the British market.
“At first, Mayweather had to fight with one Thai, there was even some money. Mayweather needs the English market because it’s solvent. UFC fights are held there with a full house, and boxing fights gather a record number of people. It is clear that you want to stick your nose in there. But it has to be beautiful. If it didn’t work out with the Thai, then one of his friends advised him to speak with a guy who is currently filming in a popular TV series. Prior to that, he had 8 fights in MMA, did not excel in anything special. But somehow people know and love him“, – said Taktarov.
According to him, the fighters will be able to beautifully approach this fight, as Chalmers announced that the funds raised from the fight will go to the operation that his child needs.
He noted that it would be an exhibition fight, which could be interesting at the same time.
“This is an exhibition fight. The guy has never boxed. At 45 years old. Here the guy positions himself as a recent champion, as far as I understand, he just wants to use the fan, promote the situation with the child, promote his show“, – said Taktarov.
According to him, Mayweather is not so loved in the USA, and a new audience can help him stay afloat.
“This is in English a beautiful model for entering the British Isles for Floyd Mayweather. You can go in beautifully, settle there and cut the loot. In America, Floyd is not very liked, especially in the near-boxing environment. His American manner of turning his shoulder”, – said Taktarov.
According to him, Chalmers can surprise in this fight. Everything will depend on what tasks the fighters have.
“His opponent can really have a fun. If he wants to knock out Floyd, and he wants to skip five rounds. The guy will try to knock out Floyd, and he will elude him“, – said Taktarov.
