Tyson was 58 and the age showed against a 27-year-old opponent. Mayweather has criticized Paul for fighting Tyson. 'Money' also downplayed claims that he's ducking 'The Problem Child'.

Mayweather, who has previously taken on Logan Paul, is open to an exhibition fight as he thinks a professional bout won't be sanctioned due to the weight difference.

Speaking to US Weekly, Mayweather said:

We offered Jake Paul the fight probably 10 or 20 times and he turned us down. Well, we can do an exhibition. We know we can't do a real fight because it's not going to be sanctioned because of the weight difference. But we could do an exhibition. That's easy work, super easy.

Speaking about Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson, he said:

Mike Tyson was a 60-year-old man. He's an old man. Mike Tyson is enjoying his life. It is what it is.
