After the declaration, his sworn foes, 50 Cent, Conor McGregor and numerous others shot him for consenting to battle a more youthful kickboxer.

He composed:
Since I am back on U.S. soil after a long and disillusioning trek to Tokyo, I presently have room schedule-wise to address you, my fans and the media with respect to the up and coming occasion on December 31st that was as of late reported.
As a matter of first importance, I need it to be evident that I, Floyd Mayweather, never consented to an official session with Tenshin Nasukawa. Truth be told (with all due regard) I have never known about him until this ongoing excursion to Japan.
At last, I was requested to partake in a 9 minute presentation of 3 rounds with a rival chosen by the "Rizen Fighting Federation".
What I was initially educated of by Brent Johnson of "One Entertainment" was this was to be a presentation put on for a little gathering of rich observers for a vast expense.
This display was beforehand masterminded as an "Exceptional Bout" only for amusement purposes without any aims of being spoken to as an official battle card nor broadcast around the world.
When I landed to the public interview, my group and I were totally crashed by the new heading this occasion was going and we ought to have put a stop to it quickly.
I need to truly apologize to my fans for the extremely deceptive data that was declared amid this public interview and I can guarantee you that I too was totally caught off-guard by the game plans that were being made without my assent nor endorsement.
For the few fans and participants that flew in from all parts of the world to go to this past question and answer session, I was reluctant to make a gigantic aggravation by fighting what was being said and for that I am genuinely sad.
I am a resigned boxer that gains an exceptional measure of cash, universally, for appearances, talking commitment and periodic little shows.
