Mayweather retired as the undisputed box office king, selling 29million PPVs during his iconic 50-0 career.
His 2015 win over Manny Pacquiao smashed the record with 4.6m sold, with his fight against UFC star Conor McGregor two years later coming in at 4.4m.
Both made close to £700m in revenue – but Solomon Engel, Founder and CEO of Fanmio, who are bringing Mayweather out of retirement, has already told SunSport they expect to topple those numbers.
Paul, 26, made his professional debut by beating fellow social media star KSI in November 2019, while little brother Jake getting in on the act having now fought professionally three times.
Despite fighting just once – against a YouTuber no less – that has not stopped Logan from signing up to take on arguably boxing’s best ever.
He might think he stands a chance against Mayweather in their exhibition fight – consisting of eight three-minute rounds.
But former heavyweight champion Tyson, who made his own impressive comeback against Roy Jones Jr in November, has no doubt Paul will end up being badly beaten.
And the Baddest Man on the Planet did not hold back when he was asked for his prediction during an interview alongside Paul.

When the anchor asked Tyson about the Mayweather vs Paul fight, he declared: “Floyd’s gonna beat his f***ing ass.”
That was met with huge laughter from the audience, but he did add: “There’s nothing good, he’s gonna fight back though, he’ll fight back.”
Paul shared the clip on his Twitter account, jokiningly captioning the snippet: “Almost bit his ear off for this @miketyson.”

FLOYD MAYWEATHER may have finally met his match after being locked in a celebrity bidding war for a £1.9million Maybach car. The boxing legend, also known as Money, is not shy in flaunting his staggering wealth.

Mayweather, 44, usually gets what he wants particularly when it comes to vehicles, already boasting a stunning car collection worth around £20m.
But there’s one motor he might not be able to get his hands on.
Earlier this year, Mayweather was in the market for the ultra-rare 2009 Maybach 62S Landaulet.
According to TMZ, there are only eight that have been made worldwide and two belong to artists Drake and DJ Khaled.
Car dealer Obi Okeke, who is flogging the luxury motor, has put a price-tag of £1.9m – or best offer – on it.
The report adds Mayweather is in a bidding war with a high-profile rapper.
As of the latest update, the most-recent bid hit £1.4m with no news since March.
Mayweather, who retired from boxing with a 50-0 record, has earned a reported $1billion throughout his illustrious career – and is now preparing to fight YouTuber Logan Paul on Sunday.

So it would be no surprise to see the American land another knockout blow by making the highest offer.
Hans-Dieter Multhaupt, vice president of program management for Maybach, described the car as: “The Landaulet is for a superrich individual who wants something that is extremely extraordinary and enjoys being driven in a car with acres of sky above them.”
It is also described as a ‘chauffeur-driven limousine’ with a soft partial convertible top with V12 Twin Turbo Engine and 620 horsepower.

Hall has already gone through an incredible body transformation having lost a staggering five stone to get himself in shape to box his nemesis.
And the 33-year-old, fighting out of Staffordshire, has shown he looks more than prepared to KO his fellow powerlifter.
Hall uploaded a snap onto Instagram throwing a left jab with his huge arms during a training session.
Alongside it, he wrote: “Keeping my head down as training ramps up.
“Four months until we see Thor’s face down on the floor.”
It comes after Hall sent another chilling warning of his brutal power during a sparring session with unbeaten British star Lawrence Okolie.
Hall was tasked with launching shots at Okolie who was wearing a body pad.
But after being rocked on his feet by a brutal punch, Okolie was forced to switch to a thicker pad.

Commenting during the session, Okolie remarked: “Without a body bag, you’d really be feeling these shots. Those are ones you don’t take, you run.”
He then joked to Hall: “You know I’m not actually Thor.”
Hall’s feud with Thor stems from 2017 when Bjornsson missed out on the World’s Strongest Man title by a point to his rival.
Their jibes continued on social media with Hall labelling Bjornsson a ‘scum bag’ and the ‘world’s weakest liar.’
Hall would also share a video on social media ‘exposing’ Bjornsson as cheating during the 2017 Strongest Man competition.
Meanwhile, Hall earlier this month called out YouTuber Jake Paul over a potential bout, despite there being an 11 stone weight difference between the pair.
