According to retired pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) - he's being offered some "crazy numbers" to make his ring return.
Mayweather, 38-years-old, retired last September after winning a twelve round unanimous decision over Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
While the actual offers were not revealed, Mayweather says the sums were "nine figures" in size.
Despite the big offers, he has no plans to return to the ring and says a future ring return, if he decided to make one, would not be made for the money.
"As of right now, I am out completely," said Mayweather to BBC. "If I do get the itch to come back, it really won't be for the money but I have to get paid. That's why the nickname is Floyd 'Money' Mayweather."
Mayweather also ruled out the possibility of a rematch with Manny Pacquiao, who Floyd decisioned last May in what became the richest fight in boxing history.
"Everything that you guys are hearing that Michael Koncz has said and what [promoter] Bob Arum has said is totally false. Totally false. I haven't spoken to Bob Arum, I haven't spoken to Michael Koncz," Mayweather said.
"And as far as people keep talking about Mayweather Promotions, I dictate and control what goes on with it. Leonard Ellerbe is the CEO but everything has to go through me and I have to put the green light on any and everything."
"Life is great. My family has a comfortable life from me going out there and taking chances and taking risks. That was the ultimate goal. My kids will be going to college real soon. I am very happy that I was able to be a risk-taker. Roll the dice and take chances. Me being in the 12th grade, leaving school, leaving everything behind, leaving my family behind to go out there and do something that I love to do and it paid off in the long run."
