The 'money-man' as he is fondly referred to made $9m in just over two minutes on that occasion and is set to rake in even more over the next 12 months.
Daily Mail however reports that the boxer-turned promoter has avoided every talk of a re-fight against Manny Pacquiao, but admitted to TMZ, "The fans want to know what's going on."
He said: "I'm not here to talk about boxing right now. I'm living life, I'm eating so good, so many smart investments, dam'n they can't stop me.

"I got exhibitions, I got another one in Japan in July. In exhibitions alone I'll make about $80m this year.
"I don't have to do the real thing, I am the real thing. I've proved myself. It's all about being smart. My faculties are very important."
Mayweather negotiated himself a $100m (£78m) pay-day against Conor McGregor in August 2017 before earning $9m (£7m) in a farcical exhibition bout against Nasukawa in Japan.
