money. Oscar was use to pimpin people while Floyd felt that he won, he created 24/7, and that he would be a big star after that so he wanted more then he got in the 1st fight and Oscar wasnt willing to pay
Oscar offered floyd a 60million dollar guarantee. More than double what he made the 1st time around plus backend. Floyd was scared ****less of the close call and retired instead o of making up to 80mil.
I went back and watched that fight about a month ago. It is boring, but it was not as one sided as people like to remember. Granted, De La Hoya had everything that was negotiable in his favor - lucky for Floyd, age and hand speed aren't negotiable items.

There was not much public demand for a rematch, and Oscar still wanted the lions share of the revenue.
Also the fight was being talked about @ 147 so it would have been pretty pointless, as Oscar would have been dead come fight night.
