What happens if Mayweather vs Nasukawa goes the distance?
In a nutshell, absolutely nothing.
The fight will last just three rounds and in the reasonably likely event that it goes all the way, there will be no winner or loser, nor will it be called a draw.
This would also be the case in the event of a knockout as no result is being recorded for the fight, with both men technically remaining unbeaten regardless of what happens in Saitama.
But even though their record will technically remain unblemished, neither fighter will want to be haunted by the spectre of defeat in the exhibition match.
