Retired pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. is not even thinking about the possibility of returning and he's not even scoping the current landscape of potential opponents.
Last September, Mayweather retired from the sport following a twelve round decision over Andre Berto at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It raised Mayweather's undefeated record to 49-0 with 26 by knockout.
He walked away capturing world titles at super featherweight, lightweight, junior welterweight, welterweight and junior middleweight.
At the time of his retirement, Mayweather was the WBC/WBA world champion at 147 and 154-pounds. Those world titles have since been stripped away as the sanctioning bodies are now looking to place new world champions in those positions.
Mayweather is still focused on boxing, but his drive is now firmly placed on his promotional company, Mayweather Promotions. The boxer has already had three worlds champions under his promotional banner, including the current WBC super middleweight champion Badou Jack. Mayweather is also working hard at expanding his popular TMT clothing line.
“As of right now I’m not focused on me, I’m focused on the young fighters under the Mayweather Promotions banner, and trying to help. I’m not thinking about who I could fight or who I could come out of retirement for, I just want to get back into the sport in a different way," Mayweather told TalkSport.
“I’ve been fighting my whole life and as a professional I competed at the highest level for 20 years, so it’s time for me to let the young guys take over. I will make seven figures a month for the rest of my life. I’ve made some very smart investments and I’m living very comfortably, my children are going to school and will be going to college soon, and that’s what is most important to me right now. I’m just blessed way beyond belief.”
