BOXING fans have been left in hysterics after Tenshin Nasukawa was left flailing around the ring after during his bizarre exhibition fight with Floyd Mayweather.

Nasukawa, 20, hit the deck three times, all in very dramatic fashion, as he was embarrassed by Money in Japan - and ended up in tears.

The three-round exhibition match was over in the first as the 50-0 legend - who arrived very late in the day - took the young kickboxer to school.

Money initially arrived hours after his scheduled time due to a flood in his hotel, according to the CEO of Mayweather Promotions.

Leonard Ellerbe tweeted: "Headed to the arena, hotel lobby flooded, tv cameras everywhere, fans chanting, omg this s*** is lit!!!!!!"

While many fans claimed the comical match-up was a fix, others simply couldn't believe the difference in class on show.

Mayweather, 41 - whose son rapped his entrance song - toyed with his Japanese opponent to leave him writhing around like a fish out of water at one stage.

With Nasukawa flailing around on the ropes, fans took to social media to share their jokes - and opinions - on the simply dreadful affair, where Mayweather earned around £67million.

One social media user called the fight, "a mockery to boxing".

Meanwhile, another wrote: "Mayweather KO’s Nasukawa in the first round of an exhibition, what a farce."
