Many ignorant 'fans' and Floyd haters seem to be spewing the same crap over and over recently that Floyd came back from 'retirement' due to:
1. he's financially in trouble, the IRS is hounding him
2. the top competition has left WW so he's back to pick on some little guys
3. he's jealous of Pacman's limelight.
ALL of these are unequivocally WRONG as can be easily proven with evidence.
FACT: Floyd Mayweather even PRIOR to his fight with Hatton 2 years ago said that he will be leaving boxing for exactly 24 months. In fact, he never truly even retired, he simply took a break of two years during which he wanted to concentrate on other ventures.
If you watch the Mayweather/Hatton telecast (downloadable here in the video trading block section of this site - so haters ya'll have no excuses in not being informed), Jim Lampley himself states BEFORE the fight even begins that Floyd had already said he will be leaving boxing for 24 months because "He doesn't love the sport" to which Lampley or Merchant reply that "You can't imagine Hatton saying the same thing."
This is 100% irrevocable, unequivocal, undeniable, irrepressible, indubitable, incontrovertible PROOF that Mayweather had PLANNED to come back 24 months from his last fight. The Hatton fight was in December of 2007, his return date of July 18, 2009 is exactly 19 months or 4 and a half months shy of his stated goal of a 24 month hiatus.
Now haters please shut the hell up and get informed.
I'm not saying that Mayweather didn't go on this hiatus because he didn't want to deal with bigger-sized welterweights, this is a possibility. But what I AM saying is that his comeback NOW is in no way shape or form some sort of arbitrary decision based on fear, money, jealousy etc, it was his STATED GOAL two years ago and he is simply carrying his goal out right now as we speak.
