Floyd Mayweather may be gearing up for a potential rematch with Manny Pacquiao, but he still had time to check out the sights on another whistle-stop tour of Hong Kong.

“Money” went to see the Big Buddha on Lantau Island on Friday and gave his 21 million followers a glimpse of the famed tourism spot.

“Back in one of my favourite places, Hong Kong. Had to go check out the 112 foot Big Buddha,” Mayweather wrote in a post on Instagram, alongside a picture of him posing in front of the bronze statue of Buddha Shakyamuni at Ngong Ping.

It was a change of scene in Hong Kong for the 41-year-old, who last December visited Victoria Peak during a week-long Asian jaunt with his 23-person entourage.

The undefeated American has been jet-setting across Asia again, posting snaps of himself in Tokyo, as well as a video of an encounter with Pacquiao in the Japanese capital, claiming “another 9 figure payday is on the way”.
