Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather has estimated that he could make a staggering $100m (£70m) from his upcoming exhibition fight with Logan Paul.

The 44-year-old American superstar makes his sensational return to the ring on 6th June at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.

Mayweather, who retired from boxing undefeated with a 50-0 record, has had a heated build-up with Paul ahead of the forthcoming clash.

The pair engaged in a long and intense face-off at the Versace Mansion in Miami on Thursday.

The Mayweather vs Paul pay-per-view will be shown live in the UK at around 4am on Monday.

And boxing fans will have to splash out £16.95 to purchase the fight from Sky Sports Box Office in the UK.

The undefeated former boxer claims that he has already secured a hefty $30m (£21m) from the build-up to the fight.

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.

But the American YouTuber is confident about his upcoming fight with Mayweather and vowed to "decapitate him in the first round."

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."
