The American Floyd Mayweather the british is dominant Aaron Chalmers in the exhibition fight they played this Saturday at the O2 Arena in London (United Kingdom).
Mayweather (50-0) went eight rounds, agreeing to two minutes, with Chalmers. The American was rudely outmatched by the British, as expected, and using his excellent use of the ‘jab’, he was able to maintain his distance and control without major complications.
‘Money’, 46, was fighting in his sixth exhibition match since retiring from professional boxing and, in a circus of sorts, he did not intend to knock the Englishman out. He flashed his quality, looked nimble, put on an entertaining fight and even danced. Lacking a finish before the cutoff, no winner was declared.
Fans did not respond to the American’s debut in the United Kingdom. The match did not raise great expectations, the stands of the 02 Arena, almost empty, prove the public interest to be meaningless. The main match was delayed for up to half an hour to try to fill the venue’s 20,000 seats.
According to the local press, it is estimated that the Michigan fighter will pocket around 20 million dollars, despite the bump in attendance. The fight became the most expensive pay-per-view event ever in the UK (£30).
An anecdotal battle with a third-rank rival. Chalmers rose to fame after the reality show Geordie Shore. He then began a careful career in MMA (5-2) and last year he made his debut as a professional boxer with a points victory in a four-round duel. Despite shedding three kilos on the scale and being 11 years younger than Mayweather, he doesn’t even come close to measuring up.
