In the meantime the boxing legend threw himself a 44th birthday party in Florida, and discussed his postponed exhibition upon his arrival.
Mayweather said: “Well, I’m not in training but I always try and maintain my weight and keep my body in some type of good condition.
“I’m not in the best shape of my life but I’m in good shape. I can take my shirt off at the beach.”
Mayweather recently revealed his bout with Paul was cancelled as they want a live crowd to be in attendance.
The American icon named the Las Vegas Raiders’ new NFL stadium as a potential host, as it can hold up to 80,000 fight fans.
Mayweather was quick to assure the exhibition will go ahead despite having no renewed time frame.
He said: “I know it’s going to happen. We’re just going to make sure everything’s right, everything’s where it should be.”
Mayweather officially retired in 2017, after sealing a perfect 50-0 record having beaten UFC star Conor McGregor in ten rounds.

He did return a year later, wiping out featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in round one of an exhibition.
It was the only time the unbeaten all-time great ever boxed outside of the US and his first away from Vegas since 2005.
But he will make a comeback for a similar spectacle against internet sensation Paul.
American vlogger Paul, 25, has boxed only twice before both against online rival KSI.
The first time they drew in a white collar bout in England before turning pro for their rematch in November 2019.
KSI ended up winning by split-decision after a two point deduction cost Paul the result.
