Floyd Mayweather is fighting in the Global Titans Fight Series, a new exclusive series of boxing and MMA fights featuring semi-retired iconic athletes. It claims to be the world’s first non-fungible token (NFT) pay-per-view (PPV) sports live stream.

The project was founded by media and entertainment companies ROQUMedia and Yakamoz Events. The expertise for NFTs is coming from a third partner, MintGate, which specializes in building digital communities through membership-like NFT projects. Among others, MintGate works with one of the most successful NFT collections ever, the Bored Ape Yacht Club.
