However, many netizens voiced their opinions, with some expressing criticism about the matchup. In response, @HappyPunch on X shared a video of Mayweather, where the 48-year-old clapped back at the critics, saying:

"Sh*t. I'm pretty sure I'd be upset too. If I was somebody else, I'd be mad at Mayweather, too. How the f**k for 29 years-30 years you keep getting money like this? I'd be mad too. I'd be hating on Mayweather, too. Continue to hate. People only talk about winners. I'm a winner, so continue to talk."

Mike Tyson talks about fighting Floyd Mayweather

Mike Tyson retired from professional boxing in 2005. However, he made a comeback last year to face Jake Paul, where he experienced a defeat via unanimous decision. Now months later, Tyson has signed up to enter the ring again.

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, 'Iron Mike' shared his thoughts on the upcoming bout against Floyd Mayweather, saying:

"This fight is something neither the world nor I ever thought would or could happen. However, boxing has entered a new era of the unpredictable, and this fight is as unpredictable as it gets. I still can't believe Floyd wants to really do this. It's going to be detrimental to his health, but he wants to do it, so it's signed and it's happening!"
