WATCH: Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. Lands Barrage of Punches and a Choke on Floyd Mayweather

Just a couple of days ago, there was a piece of news surrounding over Floyd Mayweather and Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.’s exhibition boxing bout. However, hardly anyone believed it to be true because there’s an immense age gap between both the legends. As a result, this matchup already seemed unlikely and later, Mayweather himself shut down the talks regarding this fight swiftly.

But this didn’t stop the duo from going after each other. Recently, Chavez Sr. and Mayweather met each other at an event, wherein the Mexican boxing legend went after ‘TBE’. He tried to choke Mayweather and even landed his punches lightly to make the atmosphere chilled out.

Mayweather, on the other hand, just laughed, and his respect for Chavez Sr. was evident.

‘Pretty Boy’, a few months back, locked horns with YouTuber turned boxer, Logan Paul. Here, the 44-year-old looked extremely fresh, and it didn’t look like he ever left boxing. Mayweather dictated the pace of the fight with his brilliant fight IQ, and not even a single time did he let ‘The Maverick’ take control of the ring.

There were a few moments in the initial rounds when Paul stunned Mayweather with his unusual yet wild punches. But, being the best boxer, Mayweather knew what he had to do. For this fight, ‘Pretty Boy’ banked around $100 million, thus making it a profitable night for him.
