FLOYD MAYWEATHER boasted about spending $80,000 in just “a few hours” after touching down in Dubai ahead of his next fight.
The boxing legend returns on Sunday night at the Coca-Cola Arena in an exhibition bout against YouTuber Deji.
Mayweather arrived on Tuesday, dressed in a gold chain and sporting a luxury wristwatch, and was already splashing the cash.
He said: “Listen, I just touched down in Dubai, I’ve been here a few hours and I’ve already spent $80,000!”
Mayweather, 45, faces Deji, 25, over eight rounds in what will be his latest money-spinning exhibition.
And according to Uday Singh, the CEO of Global Titans who are promoting the event, he could be in line for a handsome payday.
Singh told Insider that Mayweather can expect up to $30MILLION for the bout.
Mayweather, 45, retired in 2017 after beating ex-UFC champion Conor McGregor, 34, but has had four exhibition bouts since.
He most recently knocked out Japanese MMA contender Miruku Asakura, 30, on a RIZIN bill.
That came after facing kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.

Mayweather and Moore were set to extraordinarily box on top of a hotel HELIPAD 700ft above sea level in May.
But the death of UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed al-Nahyan at 73 saw it scrapped and head to Abu Dhabi a week later.
Global Titans were not involved following the president’s death and were still contracted to a fight with Mayweather.
Now six months later, he will debut for the promotion against Deji, 25, at the Coca-Cola Arena.
