LAS VEGAS — Floyd Mayweather will receive a significant payday for his boxing exhibition against content creator Deji, Global Titans CEO Uday Singh told Insider this week at the historic Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas. Mayweather returns to the ring on November 13 at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and will get paid between $25 million and $30 million, according to the event organizer.
Speaking exclusively to Insider after the event, Singh told us they’ve already sold 40% of the tickets for next month’s show and that he’s expecting a complete sell-out as the date nears. “Floyd is super approachable, and he listens to the promoters and does what’s best for business, and that’s what I like about him,” Singh said.

The event will air on DAZN pay-per-view, something that could become a trend in the future. “When we’re talking to anyone, we’re talking one-year, two, three, four, or five-year partnerships,” Singh said. ‘A real fight’ in which Mayweather puts his unbeaten record on the lineFloyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.

He’s been in the ring with YouTube legend Logan Paul, boxed twice in Japan under the Rizin banner, and moved around with his former sparring partner Don Moore in Dubai earlier this year. Global Titans envisage a future in which they take Mayweather on the road starting with Dubai next month, paying him eight figures every time he fights.
Other venues could include Lagos, Tokyo, the US, or London. One of those stops could even see Mayweather, 45, fight for real — something he’s not done since stopping Conor McGregor on his feet in the 10th round of one of the best-selling combat sports events of all time. “We do have plans to do a real fight which is not an exhibition fight with Floyd and someone else next year,” Singh told us.
‘Big names’ are interested in fighting Mayweather should he fight a 51st pro boutJose Aldo and Conor McGregor. ReutersWhen Insider asked Singh to clarify whether this meant Mayweather would have to put his undefeated pro boxing record on the line, he said, “absolutely. “—Al Dawson (@AlanDawsonSport) October 13, 2022The major difference between something like that, and exhibitions, is that these have — from 2017 onwards — all been unofficial events that do not count on anybody’s record.
“We’re looking at Vegas as a venue,” Singh said. “And that’s somewhere next year after October. We already talked and will announce names a bit later.
“According to Singh, the names will be “100%” familiar to fight fans. “These are very big names as we’ve had interest from a few people like Conor and Manny Pacquiao. “In the meantime, all exhibition fights will have some sort of entertainment aspect to a real fight,” he said.
“We do have things like Jake Paul fighting Deji on the cards, Jake Paul fighting Tommy Fury on the cards, and that’s going to be an exciting one. So it will be a mix and match” in the future, the CEO said. Read the original article on Insider.
