Floyd Mayweather has revealed he wants around £500 million to make a stunning return to boxing.

The 43-year-old insists he's retired but would entertain an offer in the region of £500 million.

He also says he doesn't fancy coming back to face any of the "younger fighters" with fights against Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Manny Pacquiao mooted as potential opponents.

The former pound-for-pound king retired from boxing after his lucrative Las Vegas showdown with McGregor back in August 2017.

He stopped the UFC star to record his 50th professional victory and pocketed a massive £226 million.

And the legendary American boxer wants even more than when he faced McGregor if he's to end his retirement.

"If I see an opportunity where I can entertain and have a little fun and make six hundred million, why not?" He told Fight Hype.

"If I am going to do something it's got to be worth it. But there's no number that's worth me getting back in that ring and fighting these young fighters to get any type of wear and tear on my body."

'Money' added: "Am I going to fight any fighters as of right now? No. I'm retired. I'm retired from the sport of boxing.

"I'm training, having fun, and enjoying life. I don't want for nothing. I'm not retired from business.

"When I beat McGregor, they said 'That ain't 50 fights (50-0)'. But these guys are fighting and they are making a couple of dollars, they're crazy."

Mayweather last fought in an exhibition bout against Japanese kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa in December 2018.

Will he return to action in 2020? Watch this space.
