FLOYD MAYWEATHER knocked Tenshin Nasukawa out in the opening round as their big-money fight turned into farce.

Kickboxing star Nasukawa was left crying in his own corner after being sent tumbling to the canvas three times in the first two minutes of the fight in Saitama, Japan.

Mayweather, 41, boasted about earning $9million dollars to take on Japan's golden boy - and he collected his money with minimum fuss after making his opponent look foolish.

When the first bell sounded the unbeaten five-weight world boxing champion strolled out with a grin on his face as his 20-year-old took to the centre of the ring.

The American, who in the hours before the contest posted a video on Instagram advertising his strip club, then showed his disdain as he pawed out his hand and failed to throw a single punch for the opening 30 seconds.

Nasukawa looked completely out of his depth in his first boxing fight, swinging wildly in an attempt to land a blow on his opponent.

One landed on the glove of Mayweather, and that appeared to sting him into action as he returned with a sharp flurry to deck the home favourite with a short left to the body.

The fight descended into farce when another dig from Mayweather left Nasuwaka staggering back like a drunk before falling down for a second time.

And another half-hearted punch to the side of the head did for the kickboxer a third time - and his corner threw in the towel after 136 seconds of the fight.
