However, Mayweather added that he could make an astonishing $100m [£70m] on top of the $30m he has already pocketed.
"For the build-up so far, I've made something upwards of 30million," Money told TMZ.
"[I'll make] Between 50 and 100 [million]. Not bad for the Mayweather zone."
Paul, 26, has only fought in one professional boxing bout against YouTube rival KSI, which ended in a split-decision defeat at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Mayweather, on the other hand, has claimed that he is in a tricky position when it comes to approaching the fight.

"To me, it's a win-win but I'm in a no-win because if I knock him out fast in the first round, they're gonna be like, 'Aw, man, this wasn't worth it,'" he said.
"If I let it go a few rounds and drag it out, they're gonna be like, 'Aw, man, he let a YouTuber hang in it for a few rounds.'
"But it is what it is. We're gonna have some fun [on] Sunday."
