Floyd Mayweather's eight-city U.K. tour begins February 1 in Cardiff, Wales, and concludes Feb. 14 in Bedford, England. From what I can glean, these are dinner shows with supporting acts on the bill, but Mayweather is the star. He will talk about his career and his charitable endeavors.
The Glasgow, London, and Manchester shows are priced, respectively, at 200, 300, and 500. Add a photograph with the guest of honor and the prices jump to 450, 600, and 1000.
That's pound sterling, which is why I'm not using the dollar sign. The exchange rate, at this moment, is roughly 1.4/1. That means that a person attending the Glasgow event, the cheapest of the three that I just referenced, would need to pony up about $280 in American money, $560 if he brings a date. And Mayweather won't be throwing any punches, at least that's not in the plan.
Mayweather had planned a tour of the U.K. in June of 2014, but encountered visa problems that prevented him from leaving the U.S. The second stop on the upcoming tour will be Bristol where a woman's group is circulating a petition to have the event cancelled on the grounds that Mayweather is a convicted woman beater who has shown no remorse for his actions. Undoubtedly, those promoting the tour will encounter resistance in other cities.
