And while inevitably there would be millions on offer to the pair, the prospect of seeing one of boxing's best ever fight a social media star has been blasted by many.

This includes Arum, who is Tyson Fury's US promoter.

Speaking to , the 88-year-old was scathing about the prospect of the two lacing up gloves to fight.

Arum said: "Anybody who would pay five cents to watch that fight has to have his head examined.

"Floyd Mayweather, probably if he was 100 years old, it would still be a fairly confident fight."

Another big name to have recently slammed the fight happening is fellow YouTuber KSI.

And that's because the Brit thinks Mayweather should fight him instead.

KSI has twice fought Paul, drawing in their first meeting, before beating him last year when the pair turned professional.
