Floyd Mayweather said he's going to take part in three exhibitions this year, and even wants to box rapper 50 Cent.

The fighter and the rapper used to be inseparable, but a beef developed between them when 50 Cent amplified a rumor that Mayweather can't read.

He famously used the ALS ice bucket challenge to issue a challenge of his own to the American boxer, saying that if Mayweather could "read one full page of a Harry Potter book" then he'd donate $750,000 to charity.

Now, they might settle their rivalry in the ring, but not until after Mayweather has boxed the Paul brothers first.

"This year I will focus on several exhibitions," the 43-year-old said on Instagram. "I will have an exhibition in Tokyo, Japan again.

"Of course the one with Logan Paul and I; and if Jake Paul can get past his next opponent Ben Askren, I will have an exhibition with him as well.

"I also heard that 50 Cent would fight me, but claims I'm too small. If he wants to lace up at the end of the year, we can do an exhibition then."

He stressed that they would all be open-weight contests, meaning either person can weigh whatever they want to, rather than be constricted to welterweight - one of Mayweather's old divisions - or cruiserweight, which is where Jake Paul fights.

However, he finished by remarking that the 50 Cent bout would have to be: "Winner take all."

Mayweather announced a "super exhibition" two months ago, one that would involve Logan Paul and take place in Japan.

However, that event has been postponed because of as yet unexplained "business complications," as reported by Sky Sports.
