Mayweather recently made easy work of Japanese mixed martial artist Mikuru Asakura in their exhibition match on Sunday in Saitama, Japan. Days after his victory, it was announced that the boxing Hall of Famer will take on British YouTuber Oladeji Daniel ‘Deji’ Olatunji next month in another exhibition.
As far as Paul is concerned, Mayweather is slowly tarnishing his legacy by continuously participating in such events. Although Sonnen admittedly agreed with the YouTuber’s sentiments at first, he now says that he no longer shares Paul’s opinion.
According to Sonnen, it’s totally normal for all-time greats to participate in “silly” activities after they retire. The former UFC title challenger even compared Mayweather’s exhibition tour to Mike Tyson’s movie cameo and Muhammad Ali’s pro-wrestling stint.

Jake Paul challenges Floyd Mayweather
When Jake Paul slammed Floyd Mayweather for his recent choice of opponents, he also took the opportunity to issue his own challenge.
According to ‘The Problem Child’, Mayweather should fight him instead of “wasting his fans’ money” on fighting relative unknowns. In a video he uploaded to Twitter, Paul said:
Mayweather is no stranger to doing business with the Paul brothers. Last year, the boxing icon faced Logan Paul in an exhibition that reportedly sold roughly 1 million pay-per-view buys, for an estimated profit of $50 million.
