Mayweather, 44, was last seen in action last June at an exhibition with Logan Paul, another YouTuber.
Paul was able to beat the boxing legend in eight rounds. Money Kicks has some tips for managing money.
Money Kicks said: "Logan made history.
Their fight was the talk of the world. He gave me tips about how to fight Mayweather," said he.
He told me to flinch and move a lot because Mayweather is a quick guy with experience.
"If I knocked him out, I wouldn't sleep for a whole year!"
Money Kicks, despite not having any professional boxing experience, insists that he doesn’t fear Mayweather, former pound-for–pound king.
He stated, "I grew-up with lions. I'm not afraid of any human being."
"I will not fear any human."
Last week, Mayweather announced that he would return to the ring days before his 45th birthday.
The third exhibition of the Olympic bronze medallist will be held at Burj Al Arab Jumeirah’s HELIPAD just four days before his birthday.
On Instagram, he wrote: "February 20th. We haven't yet chosen an opponent but I look forward it and hopefully we give to you guys something to watch."
