He might be retired from fighting professional fighters but that doesn't mean Floyd Mayweather can't return to the ring to make some easy money.
The undefeated star retired with a 50-0 record in 2017 after handing UFC star Conor McGregor but made a return to fight Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition in 2018 and it seems the legendary boxers is sniffing out another opportunity to make millions in minutes.

Mayweather threatened to dish out "the same treatment" to YouTube boxer Logan Paul as he did to Conor McGregor, with speculation mounting the retired fighter is in talks with Paul.
"Paul can get the same treatment before I go conquer Japan again," Mayweather posted on social media last night.
The comment was in response to Paul posting a video on social media where he said: "If I caught Floyd in a real fight? I'd whup him. MMA? I'd whup him. The only place Floyd is safe is the boxing ring.
"I would fight Floyd any time, any place. If I caught Floyd with one punch, I would snap him in half.
"I'm eight inches taller, 40lbs heavier, half his age, two times as hunger, 10 times as smart."
Paul hit back with "50-1" after Mayweather's response, referring to his undefeated record.
Paul's professional boxing debut was a loss to fellow YouTuber KSI last year.
Mayweather has been hinting at returning to Japan for another exhibition fight after knocking out 20-year-old Tenshin Nasukawa inside one round.
Rumours of a bout with Paul surfaced earlier this year, when YouTuber Keemstar told his 2.8m Twitter followers that Mayweather would fight Paul.
The rumour gained more steam when KSI's trainer Viddal Riley, who is signed to Mayweather Promotions, said of Mayweather vs Paul: "Both guys are in talks. It is not confirmed yet.
"Remember, I get the inside scoop. I hang around the family. It is not confirmed yet but it is in talks."
