        Ofcourse he did....HE BECAME ****** rich after the Oscar fight. yET fought Hatton...

        The REAL welters would cause him problems.. and try and tell me he wouldnt make money fighting Cotto or Margarito....

          after floyd hit the dlh and hatton lottery, i don't think he'll ever fight for under 10 million.

          besides, after all the hate he got I think he's had enough of it.

              Honestly i think Mayweather retired cus of his injuries. His Hands, his back all that stuff.

              I think Mayweather got into the sport of boxing primarily for the money. Now he has money and the fame and glory what more does he want?

              Yeah sure, there some fighters out there who thrive off competing and the thrill of the fight. And there are other fighters that fight because they need the money.

              But i think that Mayweather will actually stay retired. I think that he's thinking about his future in boxing without having to fight.

              Either way it's cool with me. If he decides to come back cool. If he decides to stay retired, that's cool too.

              One memorable fight was Gatti vs. Mayweather. Mayweather really wanted that fight. He was so confident and ready and focused for that fight.

                  dude this is pathetic. You must not know much about floyd or fighters in particular. If you think floyd was scared of someone in the ww division then it's not even worth arguing with you

                    You really believe PBF would have made the same amount of money fighting Cotto pre-Margarito as he did fighting Ricky Hatton?
