Floyd isn’t just doing it for the money.

The 40-year-old is coming out of retirement for a fight that will net huge paydays for both himself and Conor McGregor, the pair having spent the best part of a year fanning the flames to ensure maximum moola.

Now the publicity machines really go into overdrive, and to set the ball rolling here’s footage of Floyd sparring via MMA Mania:

Mixed martial arts (MMA) fans expecting Conor McGregor to have a puncher’s chance against Floyd Mayweather Jr…are probably going to cry themselves to sleep after watching this video.

Watch it in slow motion so you don’t miss any of those lightning-fast punches.

Mayweather may be 40 years old, but he’s still a SAVAGE in the gym, making mince meat of the heavy bag. Then watch him spar with an opponent who is probably three times his size and roast those ribs like it was a Fourth of July barbecue.

I think I gained five testosterone points just by reading that.

The footage:

That’s nice, but if you really want to get excited for the fight this is the video you need to watch.

It’s a fan-made promo video, and it’s very well put together:

You’re going to be seeing plenty about this fight so you may as well get used to it.
