Floyd Mayweather and Tenshin Nasukawa made a lot of money this past weekend for their boxing exhibition held in Tokyo, Japan.
It was never meant to be a legitimate fight nor was promoted as one but Tenshin did train for the fight it is understood as if it were a real fight and he certainly got that for his troubles via a first round beating and stoppage defeat.

Zero risk for maximum reward. Fair play to him really.
As for Tenshin, he’s now posted the following lengthy statement in English on social media following the fight:
As for what’s next for Floyd talks of a possible Manny Pacquiao rematch continue to do the rounds.
