Floyd Mayweather to return to the ring in July, expected to earn at least $10 million

Floyd Mayweather is coming back!

No, it is not a rematch against Manny Pacquiao -- sorry to burst your bubble --, but the former five-division world champion is getting ready for another lucrative exhibition bout in Japan.

The 42-year-old is expected to pocket at least $10 million.

Mayweather fought in Japan on New Year's Eve and scored a first-round knockout against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in a scheduled three-round contest.

Nasukawa, who normally competes at 122-pounds, was completely overmatched.

This time around, Mayweather is set to face an actual boxer. However, he has yet to say who the fighter will be.

"They called me, I got another one in Japan, in July... for like $10 million, three rounds. I got another one in July, same rules, always my rules. It's a Japanese boxer, a former boxer from what I heard, I got a call today. In exhibitions this year alone, I think I got about 4 or 5 exhibitions this year... I'll make about $80 million, this year," Mayweather told TMZ.

Last Saturday, Mayweather informed reporters that his unbeaten protégé, super featherweight world titleholder Gervonta Davis, would also travel to Japan to take on Nasukawa in an April kickboxing exhibition.

Mayweather retired from boxing in September 2015 after outpointing former world champion Andre Berto. He came back in August 2017 to take on former UFC titlist Conor McGregor. Unsurprisingly, Mayweather went on to stop McGregor inside 10 rounds.
