Floyd Mayweather vs. Aaron Chalmers: LIVE updates, results, full coverage
Floyd Mayweather used Aaron Chalmers to give fans in London glimpses of what made him great in an eight-round exhibition.
The Hall of Famer, who turned 46 a few days ago, had his way with the British reality TV star and former MMA fighter. He landed almost at will and took almost no punches, which was a familiar sight for those who have followed his career.
There was no scoring as it wasn’t a sanctioned bout but Mayweather would’ve won by shutout.
The event was about fun, for the crowd, for Chalmers and for Mayweather. And everyone seemed to have a good time.
That can only mean one thing: This certainly isn’t the last we’ve seen of “Money” in the ring. There is more money to be made and more fans to please.
