Can the floor hold the weight of a claw foot tub?

We have been rummaging through this great little warehouse we discovered thats filled with tons of items salvaged from old houses. So many treasures! On our last hunt through the warehouse we found an old claw foot tub that we are looking to purchase. The only concern is whether our bathroom floor can hold the weight of this heavy tub. Do we need to do anything special before installing it? We plan to gut the bathroom anyway but need to know if the type of flooring matters.
