Now that I am back on U.S. soil after a long and disappointing trip to Tokyo, I now have the time to address you, my fans and the media in regards to the upcoming event on December 31st that was recently announced. First and foremost, I want it to be clear that I, Floyd Mayweather, never agreed to an official bout with Tenshin Nasukawa. In fact (with all due respect) I have never heard of him until this recent trip to Japan. Ultimately, I was asked to participate in a 9 minute exhibition of 3 rounds with an opponent selected by the "Rizen Fighting Federation". What I was originally informed of by Brent Johnson of "One Entertainment" was that this was to be an exhibition put on for a small group of wealthy spectators for a very large fee. This exhibition was previously arranged as a "Special Bout" purely for entertainment purposes with no intentions of being represented as an official fight card nor televised worldwide. Once I arrived to the press conference, my team and I were completely derailed by the new direction this event was going and we should have put a stop to it immediately. I want to sincerely apologize to my fans for the very misleading information that was announced during this press conference and I can assure you that I too was completely blindsided by the arrangements that were being made without my consent nor approval. For the sake of the several fans and attendees that flew in from all parts of the world to attend this past press conference, I was hesitant to create a huge disturbance by combating what was being said and for that I am truly sorry. I am a retired boxer that earns an unprecedented amount of money, globally, for appearances, speaking engagements and occasional small exhibitions.

Oscar De La Hoya loves his girlfriend sooooo much ... he rented out an entire bar and threw a kick-ass party for her birthday ... and TMZ Sports has the vid!!Sources tell us the Golden Boy booked the White Horse in Pasadena last weekend for Anna Valencia's 30th ... decking the place out in a casino theme, complete with blackjack tables and chips featuring her face!!We're told the boxing champ footed the entire bill for the night (even the open bar) -- which he can definitely afford after putting together the largest contract in the history of pro sports. Remember, it was Golden Boy that negotiated Canelo Alvarez's $365 MILLION fight contract with DAZN ... in which Canelo will take 11 fights over 5 years. Oscar's cut has gotta be pretty sweet. As for Valencia, she's a model and an actress ... and has even done work with Golden Boy Promotions as an on-camera reporter.The couple has been dating since earlier this year ... and by the looks of it, they couldn't be happier.Happy birthday!!
