The reason, plain and simple, HIS EGO.
Right now, he honestly plans on being retired for good. I don't doubt it. He has recently done well in the mainstream, with a dancing with the stars appearance and wrestlemania. Him and his camp think there is going to be a continuous revenue stream and they will be able to keep building on his name outside of boxing.
WRONG. IT WON'T HAPPEN. With 2 years away from the sport Mayweather won't be any kind of celebrity. America does not like him. It is plain and simple. People tuned in to see him get beat in his fights, and he played a bad guy at Wrestlemania. You could do that to make money for a few events, but you can't build yourself up as a brand by having an image as a jerk.
In 2 years time he will be getting no attention whatsoever, but he will still be in his physical prime, one fight away from jumping back into the limelight. He won't be able to resist the temptation to come back. He just thinks he is still gonna be the man when he is retired, but he won't be, so he'll be back. Plus there are always going to be people around him set to make money if he comes back and they're going to be hollering for him to come back.
He will be out of the sport 2 years max.
