Floyd Mayweather announces exhibition event to take place at the helipad in Dubai
“We will be doing a special limited edition boxing showcase. Right here on the helipad February 20th, four days before my birthday. It’s always been a goal of mine to come to the UAE and put on a show and display my talent for the people in the Middle East. I just want to entertain the people and give the people something to see.”
“We haven’t chosen an opponent yet but we will let the people know who the opponent will be. It will be more than one fight”
Keane Anis, the CEO of Frontrow TMT, the organizers of the event said:
“In sports entertainment, there are few names that match Mayweather’s icon status. Floyd has been working with Frontrow TMT and our partner ONE Entertainment for a decade, we know what makes for a great Floyd Mayweather event. Frontrow has been responsible for major events like the Legendary Icon Tour and The Undisputed Tour both in the UK and Europe. We feel that this helipad exhibition in Dubai adds another pioneering moment for sports entertainment as a whole”
Commenting on the Frontrow TMT announcement, Floyd Mayweather said: “Dubai is one of my favorite cities and Burj Al Arab is famous like the Statue of Liberty is for New York and you know me, I’m gonna put on a show anywhere. Money May all day now streaming from the helipad. They can’t be me, they just imitate me.”
Floyd Mayweather has enjoyed successful exhibitions against Japanese multiple kickboxing champion Tenshin Nasukawa and YouTuber Logan Paul.
