Although retired, Floyd Mayweather has been productive inside the boxing ring over recent years.

The Hall of Famer has taken part in numerous exhibition bouts, entertaining fans while earning an obscene amount of money. His latest money-spinner should be more of the same.

Mayweather heads to the U.K. for the first time in his career on February 25. He faces MMA fighter and Geordie Shore alum Aaron Chalmers inside the O2 Arena in London. 

After retiring 50-0, Mayweather has competed in five exhibition bouts. In 2018, he beat young kickboxing star Tenshin Nasukawa via TKO. Mayweather fought Logan Paul and former training partner Don Moore in non-scored bouts. He then beat MMA fighter Mikuru Asakura via TKO in Japan and saw off YouTuber Deji in November by the same method of victory.

Chalmers started out in MMA in 2017. He is 5-2 in his career, last competing in Bellator in 2020. This will be his second boxing bout, as Chalmers beat Alexander Zeledon in June on points.

"It's like a movie," Chalmers told Sky Sports. "It's these things I can't even put into words. Imagine last year I put a bet on myself fighting Floyd Mayweather, I would've probably got 500,000/1 on that. These things never happen, so I'm just rolling with it."

How much will the two make for this exhibition bout? The Sporting News looks into where Mayweather stands among the wealthiest and most influential athletes in the world, and what he may make against Chalmers.
