Celebrities Tim Curry, the Walking Dead’s Khary Payton and even Santa Clause join Mayweather on the online experience.

Mayweather officially retired in 2017 after beating UFC star Conor McGregor in a crossover bout said to have earned the American £300m.

But he returned a year later to beat featherweight Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in an exhibition bout in Tokyo which banked Mayweather £7m for his two-minute performance.

And there was then a money-spinning eight rounder against Logan Paul which Money claimed bagged him a cool $100m.

Former friend and online rival 50 Cent claimed in 2020 the 45-year-old’s “money’s gone” due to his excessive spending.

The rapper – real name Curtis Jackson – said Mayweather will “be at your local nightclub because he needs that action right now” as he insisted the retired boxer is looking for ways to make money.

50 Cent made these claims a month before Mayweather went on a UK tour charging fans for a meet-and-greet before the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown struck.

Mayweather was set to fight Don Moore on May 14 in Dubai, but the bout was cancelled at the last minute due to the passing of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed.
