Sorry to start the 18th million thread in two days, but how many people believe he is actually retired. Promises to retire from boxers are dubious enough, but one from 'money for the third time in as many fights is laughable. Floyd seems desperate for recognition outside boxing but without boxing he won't be more than a dancing, rich member of 50 cent's entorage. Surely the "retirement" is a tactic to bring about a fight with the winner of DLH / Cotto/Margarito.
Been discussed a zillion times already. Some people think it's real. Some don't. Personally I think he's waiting to fight the winner of Cotto v Margarito (which he probably assumes will be Cotto). Frankly though, I don't really care anymore.
His Boxing career is over let it R.I.P. Dear Media: It is with a heavy heart that I write you this message today. I have decided to permanently retire from boxing. This decision was not an easy one for me to make as boxing is all I have done since I was a child. However, these past few years have been extremely difficult for me to find the desire and joy to continue in the sport. I have said numerous times and after several of my fights over the past two years that I might not fight again. At the same time, I loved competing and winning and also wanted to continue my career for the fans, knowing they were there for me and enjoyed watching me fight. However, after many sleepless nights and intense soul-searching I realized I could no longer base my decision on anything but my own personal happiness, which I no longer could find. So I have finally made up my mind, spoken to my family, particularly my mother, and made my decision. I am sorry I have to leave the sport at this time, knowing I still have my God-given abilities to succeed and future multi-million dollar paydays ahead, including the one right around the corner. But there comes a time when money doesn't matter. I just can't do it anymore. I have found a peace with my decision that I have not felt in a long time. Finally, I want to personally thank all of my fans for their loyalty and dedication as my career comes to a close. I always believed that their enthusiasm and support helped carry me to victory with every fight I ever had. It was a great joy to have fought for all of you. Now I hope you understand my decision and wish me well with the rest of my life. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Good luck Floyd.
Honestly I just ****ing hope he doesnt come back I mean damn he should hire someone to research the forums to see how fans think about him, I am sure that he is trying to muster up as much leverage as he can to maximize his next fight, which he wants Oscar that is were the money is but I think he is going to tell Oscar to give him the much bigger cut or he will fight the winner of Cotto Margarito. Oscar better in turn tell him to go fight the winner then
