It's the last line of the mini-story. It better be just a vacation and not a retirement. I hope he fights Cotto in June in the Garden. Ill even just settle for a Cotto fight 
"The Pretty Boy" wants to go by "Money Mayweather" and on this day he was making a whole lot of sense. The loquacious welterweight wasn't at a loss for words when he addressed the mostly-British media from the MGM Grand Arena.
Here are some of the gems he dropped:
On why he was so laid back: "I already know how he's going to come out. He's going to come out ready to kill me. Relaxation's a great sensation."
On whether his opponent, Ricky Hatton, is fun to watch: "If you call hitting and holding, hitting and wrestling exciting, then I guess he's an exciting fighter."
On who's the bigger fighter: "I don't know no other fighter that's done eight-figure gates back-to-back. I don't know other fighters selling out in thirty minutes to two hours. How many fights has he sold out in the U.S.? None."
On who has the better fans: "I love U.K. fight fans. You guys are die-hard fans. Even when Hatton gets his a-- beat, you're still going to love him. I wish we had fans like that."
On why he reneged on retirement: "I always wanted to fight over in the U.K. and I never did. So if I figured if I can't go to the U.K., I'll bring the U.K. over here. And we'll do it one more time."
When asked what his plans are after the Hatton fight: "The future holds a long vacation."
