Did Floyd come back because of money problems or ego issues?

    Did Pacs P4P make him jealous or did the 'Money' mayweather see his bank balance dwindling?
    Question: Did the insurance pay out for the 'robbery' ?

    Wouldnt be so sure- the taxman takes most of it and his huge dependant family must be expensive. Plus the guy likes to splash out like Tyson...boxers arent known for being frugal or clever with money

    Everybody would be broke if the taxman took most of it.

    I don't think he is broke, but I do think that he cannot support the flashy lifestyle anymore. Around 2007 he said that he invested heavily in the stock market, so if that's the case he lost a lot of money between 2007 and the present.

    He ain't broke, I don't think retirement treated him they way he expected.
    Boxing moved on and replaced him w/the quickness.
    (I don't think he liked that)

    Tyson made nearly $400 million dollars in his career, the guy ended up being bankrupt (there is plethora of cases not just in boxing). When asked about his issues with IRS Floydd, as usual Floydd gave a very obscure answer "I just pay mine late." I think its probably a bit of both ego and money, but if I had to pick I'd say its a bit of both.

    It was always his intention to make The Big Comeback. I dunno how anybody can be surprised by this.

    Definately Ego.

    He was always coming back. Floyd wants to be a great and to him the greats always retire and come back.

    Too many questions and doubt was left.

    People say Floyd is scared of the other boxers. I dont believe that His ego is so big I bet he is sure in his mind he's the best. So he was always coming back to clean up.

    Now we'll just see if he can do it....

    He quit too early,there is a chance to put Manny away and go out as the P4P
    great of his generation ,even with HOF assured.
