Mayweather doesnt want to jeopardize the fight through the media.

I also think the Floyd is smart enough not to pass on fighting PAC, wherein Manny's next fight in November maybe his last ...

[Tamis!]

Floyd's not getting any younger too.

did floyd didnt thought of this will make himself look bad? knowing he is very egoistic.. we dont know if he i serious or not but.. to think he knows this will raise alot of issues and people might think he is really avoiding pac.. lie or truth floyd knows he will be questioned... and thats the reason why us fans are wondering....

[-EX-]

Floyd's retiring then he's coming back in 2012 to fight Amir Khan.............

I hope your right otherwise floyd's reputation will be damaged beyond repair...he would never be forgiven for this, not by boxing fans, fighters, or anyone connected with the sport. Everyone and their mother knows about this fight and its been a long time since even casual fans are constantly talking about a boxing match.

[SOY-COMO-SOY]

Imho he is saying it for 1 of 4 reasons


1. maybe he is serious.

2. To get more $ from team pac for a fight.

3. He doesn't have any other excuses to duck pac

4. Just like the TS stated

Die hard Floyd fans now say he's not to be taken seriously.

I can't believe a fanbase such as the Floyd stans with this type of fanaticism. Must be hard being one, wherein your OWN FIGHTER discredits you as a fan while defending him day and night.

LOL!

[PensionKiller]

Jesus Christ people he isnt going anywhere. He doesnt want to comment on current talks between Martinez and Pac. He doesnt want to jeopardize the fights through the media. Which is something that even Arum and Roach dont want to do. So if he says hes leaving for 2 years it gives off the impression that nothing is going on. Stop being naive.

Is that what he did for the Cotto and Marg fights? Or the Oscar rematch?

[johncods]

The thing is Floyd has done this before. He retired when cotto was undefeated and margarito was on a rampage. There was a lot of interest in those fights(not on this level ofcourse with pac and mayweather) but those fights would have been huge. Lets face it floyd doesn't want to fight cats that he knows he has a chance of losing. He knows pac will give him hell even his daddy knows it.

[KnockoutKings]

LMAO. He could brush it off without sayin hes retiring. All he could have said was "Right now, I'm focused on my foundation. Whoever I fight next has to take a back seat right now. What is important most at the moment is doing whats right for the kids." And it all would have been good.

But he mentioned leaving boxing, multiple times.
