Mayweather-DLH II will now do more PPV's than Expected!

[Parody]

How many times has Floyd retired? Seriously how can you guys believe this when it has been done before, He is just seeking attention, in a way he is trying to promote the fight so more fans buy his fight thinking it might be his last fight, or that if he announces retirement and comes back more fans might buy it.

If you dont believe me at all then just wait 1 month from now.

Seriously, do you think the guy who almost fired his long time trainer for DLH-May II to happen will retire?

[Kball15]

I DOUBT he fights DLH. Maybe he'll fight again, but it would look HORRENDOUS for Mayweathers credibility if he signed to fight DLH again, after pulling this same stunt for their last fight.

Mayweather will probably come back in '09 is my guess. but i highly doubt DLH_Mayweather 2 comes through after this

[2501]

so this is what it takes to get people interested in a boxing fight? no wonder MMA is taking over.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Pound-for-pound king and welterweight world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. announced his retirement from boxing Friday.

Floyd Mayweather Jr., who defeated Oscar De La Hoya in early May, finishes his career 39-0.
"It is with a heavy heart that I write you this message today," Mayweather, 32, said in a statement. "I have decided to permanently retire from boxing. This decision was not an easy one for me to make as boxing is all I have done since I was a child. However, these past few years have been extremely difficult for me to find the desire and joy to continue in the sport."

The retirement means that his scheduled Sept. 20 rematch with Oscar De La Hoya is off.

"I have been informed of Floyd's decision and I wish him good luck," Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer told ESPN.com. "I wish him good luck in his retirement. We will move on. Sometime next week I will announce a big fight for Oscar. There are different names out there and I will be working diligently to announce in the coming days Oscar's next fight."
Bob Arum, here promoting Kelly Pavlik's middleweight defense against Gary Lockett on Saturday night, promoted Mayweather for most of his career until an acrimonious split.

Still, Arum also wished him well in retirement.

"I commend Floyd Mayweather for being so forthright," Arum said. "He's had a wonderful career He's decided to retire and to announce publicly his intention. I think we should all applaud him for his candor and his forthrightness. Boxing is a very dangerous sport and it involves serious risk of injury every time a person steps into the ring. Floyd has a accumulated a large nest egg through his fighting and promotional abilities the past couple of years and I, for one, see no reason why he should subject himself to additional risk when he appears to be set financially."

Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) won a bronze medal in the 1996 Olympics and went on to win world championships at junior lightweight, lightweight, junior welterweight, welterweight and junior middleweight.


Oh ****...the bolded part.

I hope this isn't true at all, about him retiring...He has done everything in his HOF career but honestly he is 32 right now and the most talented fighter.

[THE REED]

The oscar fight is off... oscar is already looking for another opponent
