FLOYD MAYWEATHER has urged fans to head to his own, personal strip club after delaying his fight with Tenshin Nasukawa for hours.

Money, 41, arrived at the arena in Japan late due to issues at his hotel, but still found time to tell his loyal, local followers where to watch his eagerly-anticipated fight.

Mayweather is set to fight Tenshin Nasukawa imminently following the delay, in a three-round exhibition boxing match.

And he hopes his supporters will flock to Girl Collection to watch the fight - despite it being 4.45am local time in Nevada.

Mayweather posted a message on Instagram, reading: "Go to @girlcollection now!!! To watch the exhibition live from Tokyo, Japan! 4:45am".

Money's club is situated away from the iconic hotels like the MGM, Luxor and Mandalay Bay - but still draws a crowd.

Mayweather claims he got into lap-dancing the business because “breasts, vaginas, alcohol and music will never go out of fashion.”

But Money ensured he kept his fans in Tokyo waiting, as officials were forced into an hour-long intermission after the American failed to arrive at the venue on time.

Eventually, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, Leonard Ellerbe, tweeted the reason for the delay.

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

Mayweather and Japanese kickboxer Nasukawa will fight in a three-round boxing match in Japan today.

The rounds of three minutes apiece will be formed of boxing rules only - no kicking or MMA moves allowed.

Earlier today, on the undercard for the main event, MMA fighter Yusuke Yachi suffered a disgusting eye injury.

The Japanese fighter, 28, was left bloodied and with a horrifically swollen eye, as doctors called an end to his fight with Johnny "Hollywood" Case.
