Real Now: Why did Floyd Mayweather retire?

[The_One77]

The man is at the pinnacle of his career not just in terms of boxing ability (give a year or 2) but financially aswell.
No boxer is more notorious then Floyd Mayweather or as well-known in the world so his marketability is through the roof.

I just dont understand why you would retire at a time when

a) you are at your best physically as a boxer

and

b) you are in a position to cherry pick any fight you want and demand the big bucks

So instead of taking these opportunities the guy retires. Not only is it a very bad move on his part but also a shame for boxing fans and the sport also.

Let the best guys fight the best, dont ****in retire.

Floyd retired cos he is a ***** who ducks the best, he heard Amir Khan was coming up to 147 and he didnt wanna know, everyone knows this.

I think it is due to the reason he explained when he retired... his heart isn't in it anymore.

Because he had plenty of money and had lost the motivation to carry on.

Without motivation boxers end up getting hurt.

Boxings a brutal sport and he's been doing it all of his life. I probably would retire too if I was him, he doesn't need the money.
