At the post-fight press conference, Mayweather said he would retire after his next fight. He arrived at the press conference dressed in a dark suit and flashing his broad smile. However, moments after taking the podium, Mayweather's mood suddenly changed as he was overcome with emotion. Searching for words, Mayweather choked up before turning to weep on HBO executive Kery Davis' shoulder. After Mayweather regained his composure a couple of minutes later and wiped his face with a white towel, he found the words that took everyone by surprise. "I love the sport," Mayweather said in a soft voice as he continued to wipe away tears. "One more fight and I'm through. I don't need boxing. I'm not in it for the money. It's about legacy. I'm rich and I've accomplished what I want."
- After Baldomir fight.
Haha..
He came back because he had to. The IRS garnished his purse for his first couple fights back.
Then the Manny thing happened and he milked the suspense and the money got really huge.
If he comes back again it will be at 45+ when he's in tax trouble again... Lets cross our fingers.
Spending like he does I wouldn't be suprised if he recanted that statement.

Then he left Top Rank.
Started making $25+ million a fight and now will make over $100 million for 1 fight.
His 50th fight, he's going for the bankroll. :boxing:
