PBF takes a year and a half vacation to rest and relax at the height of popularity. As a result, other fighters being to capitalize on the opportunity to become even prominent attractions, e.g., Pacquiao and Mosley.
Now Mayweather returns to the ring to fight the lightweight champion JMM at a catchweight of 144. This move results in an explosion of media coverage from several sports networks including ESPN. But not only does the media respond to his comeback, but now those prominent attractions are extremely vocal in demanding a fight with PBF. Look no further than the Mosley interview today on ESPN close to prime time. We didn't see this sort of fire in Mosley pre-PBF's retirement.
So as Mayweather is currently scheduled to face off against JMM, his next fights are already being hyped and promoted, whether it be Pacquiao, Mosley, or Cotto.
Mayweather may or may not have intentionally orchestrated the unfolding of these series of events, but he will definitely reap the benefits.
