      Money will continue the exhibition portion of his career this weekend against YouTube sensation Deji – the brother of social media phenom KSI.
      But attention has already turned to who the boxing great will face after his Dubai dust-up with Deji.
      And SunSport is on hand with five potential opponents for Money in 2023.
      Conor McGregor
      READ MORE IN SPORT
      Mayweather closed out his Hall-of-Fame career with a tenth-round TKO victory over the UFC superstar in Las Vegas five years ago.
      But talks over a lucrative rematch between the pair have rumbled on ever since – with fresh negotiations taking place earlier this year.
      MMA legend McGregor recently shut down the prospect of sharing the ring with the former pound-for-pound king again.
      Although he’d likely jump at the opportunity to avenge the loss once his UFC contract comes to an end.

      Manny Pacquiao
      Like Mayweather, former eight-weight world champion Pacquiao is currently competing in the exhibition scene.
      The Filipino, who retired from professional boxing last September, is gearing up for a showdown with South Korean martial artist DK Yoo on December 11.
      Revenge has been on Pacman’s mind ever since he lost the 2015 ‘Fight of the Century’ with Mayweather in Las Vegas.
      And he could very well get it next year if Mayweather were to agree to what would be one of the most-viewed exhibitions of all time.

      Ricky Hatton
      British boxing legend Hatton returns to the ring this weekend to take on Mexican great Marco Antonio Barerra in an eight-rounder in Manchester.
      The Hitman knows Mayweather all too well having lost their welterweight title fight in Las Vegas 15 years ago.
      It’s unclear if Hatton will be one and done after his clash with Barerra. But he could make himself a bucketload of cash if he were to put himself forward to face Mayweather again.

      KSI
      YouTuber juggernaut KSI will likely be ringside for his little brother’s clash with the undefeated Mayweather.
      He could potentially opt to challenge the Olympic bronze medallist should his brother fall at the Michigan mauler’s hands.
      And given the massive audience KSI has amassed across multiple social media platforms, Mayweather would likely be tempted to fight the Brit.

      Jake Paul
      Mayweather has unfinished with YouTuber turned boxer Paul following their brawl last May.
      Money managed to land a few blows on Paul after having his hat stolen but was left irate by the social media star’s actions.

      Paul’s roaring start to his professional career, coupled with his built-in audience, makes him a worthy B-side in a potential fight.
      But it’s unclear whether or not Mayweather would want to give him the opportunity to earn a huge payday by sharing the ring with him. More

      And in attendance will be YouTuber-turned boxer Paul, fresh off his win over 47-year-old UFC legend Anderson Silva.
      The American, 25, took the chance to aim a dig at Fury, 23, who has TWICE pulled out against him.
      Paul said: “Dubai…It’s about to be a party. I’m ready to step in if Tommy pulls out.”
      Fury first withdrew against Paul last December after suffering a rib injury in training.

      And for their rescheduled date in August a US visa issue saw the grudge match scrapped once more.
      Fury’s travel restriction still persists leaving Paul faced with traveling abroad for the celebrity mega-fight.
      But he said on the MMA Hour: “Yeah, I love going to those crowds because they all boo me, and I shut them up.
      “I like playing the role of the heel, especially in the UK.”

      He added: “Yeah, there’s definitely interest, I think if his team is taking the financial risk and putting the event on then I’m cool.
      “I just don’t want to take that risk because I think he’s going to back out again, most likely.
      “It’s an easy fight for me, the kid’s a novice, he’s never even fought anyone good.
      “He’s never even had an eight-round fight, he doesn’t have the experience I have which is crazy to say because he’s been boxing his whole life.

      “But people call him a professional boxer and they respect him as a professional boxer, and I’d love to strip that title from him.
      “I wouldn’t even have to train for that fight, I would still train because I’m a professional, but I wouldn’t have to train to beat him.”

      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.

      KSI looks dapper in suit and hat as he and Sidemen stars Tobi Brown, Joshua Bradley and Vikram Barn watch West Ham clash

      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

      And UFC legend Bisping backed the American social media sensation to win, drawing a furious reaction.
      Dia, 37, posted a picture of Bisping getting knocked out by Dan Henderson in their 2009 fight.
      And he captioned it: “The only fight I ever saw by this goofy f*****. Don’t hate me cause you ain’t me MB.”
      Diaz was ringside to watch Paul beat UFC icon Anderson Silva, 47, to go 6-0 and secure the most credible win of his career.

      It has paved the way for the pair to potentially meet in the ring later next year.

      He said on his YouTube channel: “Listen, with boxing gloves on, I don’t think it will be a good idea for Nate Diaz.

      “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.”
