      Mayweather, 45, amassed a huge fortune during his iconic career and is allegedly worth £510million.
      But a story previously emerged showing the usual trash-talking fighter’s much kinder side after he secretly tipped a waitress $10,000 to undergo a procedure to help her exercise a decade ago.
      John Shahidi runs his own company which manages YouTube stars, and it was him who shared the tale on the Impaulsive podcast after meeting Mayweather in LA.
      After discussing how they can work together over a bite to eat, the former five-weight world champion asked the waitress what she would do if she had all the money in the world to improve her life.

      She declared she would get rid of her credit card but also undergo a procedure to enable her to exercise better.
      Shahidi says Mayweather asked how much it would cost, to which she said between six and seven grand, leading to “Money” placing a $10k tip at the bottom of the bill.
      The YouTube expert claims he told Mayweather to contact the media over his gesture.
      He also explained that the world should know that Mayweather often does this sort of thing.

      But the undefeated icon replied: “No! You are not to ever do that.
      “No-one can ever know that I ever do that. That’s for me, you and her to know.”
      Mayweather has recently revealed talks to fight in the UK in February after his exhibition with British YouTube boxing star Deji.
      He has already had four exhibition bout since officially retiring in 2017 which have taken him to the Far East, America and now Middle East – but the UK could be next.

      Seemingly taking a break from their own jobs as entertainers, four members of the Sidemen were in attendance at the London Stadium.
      And they came suited and booted with a dazzling array of suits and hats.
      KSI, founder of hydration drink PRIME alongside Logan Paul, rocked up in a blue suit with a pink interior paired with a bow tie and hat.
      Tobi Brown, also known as “TBJZL”, went with a more clean and less eye-catching look than his co-star, though that’s not to say it wasn’t as sharp.

      Tobi was denied the opportunity to make his pro debut in the FA Cup on Saturday after being handed a trial by Crawley.
      However, despite not featuring during the game against Accrington, Tobi and his fellow trialist brothers may still feature for the club in the future.
      Joshua Bradley, who goes by the name “Zerkaa”, countered Tobi and KSI with an appropriate claret suit.
      He was followed in this by Vikram Barn, also known as “Vikkstar”.

      But while Josh went for a suit with a similarly clean look to Tobi’s, Vik donned a fit blended with some slightly more vibrant diamond shapes.
      The quartet even had time to pose alongside West Ham icon Carlton Cole, which Ethan Payne – one of the group’s missing members – would have loved due to being a fan of the Hammers.
      The Sidemen group is made up of seven members and boasts a following of over 17 million on YouTube making them the UK’s largest YouTube collective.
      Each of them starred in the thrilling Sidemen Charity Match in September, which sold out Charlton’s ground The Valley and had a peak viewing of 2.5m on YouTube. More

      “The jiu-jitsu would be gone, the kicking game is gone, the general craftsmanship and the gameplans and the adversity of attacks, punches, kicks, knees, elbows, strangles, chokeholds, triangles, takedowns, you name it.
      “That’s what Diaz could do. Those are the advantages he’d have over a Jake Paul.”
      Bisping, 43, added: “If he was to fight Jake Paul and at that weight, 200 pounds or 196 pounds, whatever weight they want to come in at, I don’t think it would go very well for Nate Diaz.”
