Floyd Mayweather Jr. knows how to make a tidy profit.

And the man with the nickname "Money" isn't about to miss the opportunity to cash in on his champion status, having announced plans for an extensive—and expensive—UK tour, starting in February.

Mayweather will appear for eight dates at locations including Cardiff, Manchester and London on the tour, with tickets to the nights costing as much as £500.
