And that was after being transferred $1m just to discuss the possibility of returning for another fight.
Mayweather told FightHype: “I said, ‘I’m not getting on the phone unless we know the numbers before we can talk.’
“They said, ‘We’ll get you on the phone.’ They wired me $1million. I got on the phone ASAP. I said, ‘What’s going on?’
“They said, ‘We want you with a YouTuber.’ I said, ‘Let’s make it happen.'”
Mayweather, 45, officially retired in 2017 after beating UFC superstar Conor McGregor, 34.
But he has boxed in four exhibitions since, most recently against MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura, 30, which he won in two rounds in September.
That followed after facing featherweight kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa, 24, YouTuber Logan Paul, 27, and ex-sparring partner Don Moore.
