FLOYD MAYWEATHER hit back at critics of his exhibition with Mike Tyson the only way he knows how – by flaunting his wealth.
The 50-0 unbeaten great announced on social media that he will take on the youngest heavyweight of all time next spring.

No exact date or location has been confirmed but the legendary pair have signed on – causing outrage amongst fans with their combined age at 107.
But Mayweather – once the richest sports star on the planet – appears unfazed as he showed off wads of cash and designer bags on his private jet.
Counting and stacking money, he said: “S***, I’m pretty sure I’d be upset too if I was somebody else. I’d be mad at Mayweather too.
“How the f*** for 29 years, 30 years you can keep getting money like this? I’d be mad too. S***, I’d be hating on Mayweather too. Continue to hate.
“You know, people only talk about winners. I’m a winner so, continue to talk. Keep the bread fresh, put it in a bag. Call me the bread man.”
Mayweather then danced with a bag of cash in his hands while showing off designer Gucci bags and multiple iPhones.
The American topped Forbes’ sporting rich list of the decade with over £700MILLION banked during his career.
He officially retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion in Conor McGregor in ten rounds – earning around £250m for doing so.

But Mayweather has continued to box in exhibitions since against stars from the boxing, MMA and social media world.
His last came in August 2024 against the grandson of notorious New York crime boss John Gotti – going the distance without a winner.
Tyson, now 59, meanwhile hung up his gloves in 2005 following two dismal defeats against Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.
But he did make a return in 2020 for an exhibition with fellow icon Roy Jones Jr – ending in a draw over eight rounds.
It was last year that Tyson made the shock announcement that he was making a comeback to fight Jake Paul in a professionally-sanctioned bout.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul won over eight shorter rounds of two minutes with over 100 MILLION watching on Netflix.
He is now due to step into the ring once more and warned: “This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen.
“However, boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable – and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets.
“I still can’t believe Floyd wants to really do this. It’s going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it’s signed and it’s happening!”
Mayweather, 48, said: “I’ve been doing this for 30 years and there hasn’t been a single fighter that can tarnish my legacy.
“You already know that if I am going to do something, it’s going to be big and it’s going to be legendary.
