Floyd Mayweather will once again return to the ring in yet another exhibition bout, in a clash with former professional boxer Don Moore.
The fight will go for eight-rounds and will take place on May 14 on a helipad on top of Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab hotel.
The fight will be part of a new series of bouts titled “Global Titans Fight Series.” It’s unclear whether the fight will be judged.

It’s also unknown how much interest the fight will generate, especially since Moore, 42, hasn’t fought since 2013.
In that bout he defeated Reymundo Hernandes, which brought his record to 18-0-1.

“I am always trying to push the envelope and if something is brought to my attention that has a unique aspect to it, I am always interested,” said Mayweather.
“Having a fight on the helipad of the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai and the opportunity to be the star of the show is going to be something I will remember always. People all over the world can buy the PPV and watch us fight high above, almost in the sky.”
The last time Mayweather stepped into the ring, it was against YouTuber Logan Paul in an exhibition last June. That fight went the distance, with no winner called.
Mayweather’s last official bout came in 2017 against Conor McGregor when the fight was stopped in the 10th round, giving him a perfect 50-0 record, with the event one of the highest grossing boxing events in history.
His exhibition against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in December 2018 reportedly earnt him $9 million for barely raising a sweat, after knocking down the Japan fighter three times.
It’s unknown how much Mayweather will take home for his latest foray into exhibition fighting.
His bout with Paul sold one million pay-per-view buys, which earned Mayweather over $46 million in revenue from that fight.
It’s understood Mayweather’s fights have generated over $3.2 billion in revenue total with the star reportedly worth $600 million as of 2022.
