Would the Boxing World be better off it Mayweather retired for good??

[extracurRICular]

yes it would, but let's hope Floyd don't retire just yet
he needs to man up and fight just one more time
after Pac kicks his ass, then he needs to GTFO and never come back
he won't be missed

Wow wow wow.........this isn't a Hate on ***weather and celebrate Roidpack thread either......Your boi had his share of blame in all this **** going down.....im an impartial boxing fan merely making an observation....there was a big deal made of May's retirement.....he came back....but didn't give us much.....so I got to wondering.....WTF maybe it would have been better off if he stayed retired....but your boi could made that fight happen too.....so lets not let him off the hook that easily.....

answer is yes, boxing would be better off if Floyd left for good
but one stipulation to that: he need his ass kicked first
after Pac beats him, he can fuck off and go back to WWF
but if he still not interested in fighting Pac, then fine, let him leave now

If he left what would you and the other haters have to post about? Like I said you want to see him lose more than you want to see your favorite fighter, whom ever that is, win! That's why floyd can't retire for good right now. You'd have no one to hate on!

And, please bet the farm on pac when they fight.

know it's not a hate thread, just voicing honest opinion
boxing as business benefits because Floyd draws
we don't care about that though, boxing fans want guys who will fight
for us fans, the sport is better off without him
not Pac's fault the fight didn't happen, but that's another thread

same old Floyd*** drivel
give it a rest
he wants the hate, so stop bitching when he gets it

This is simply not economically feasible at this point. No disrespect to Natas206 who is a cool dude, but there is no way floyd can fight 2-3 times per year at the money he makes.

Slick Ric those type of guys never existed. fighters fight because it is their job. They take the fights that make the most money not for the fans. Even the greats. Sugar ray Leonard fought Duran not becaue it was a great challenge, but because it made more money then an aaron pryor fight would. Its always been this way. We just didn't have as much access and information prior to sites like these.

explain that....how is it not economically feasible?

whats good dude. Floyd makes about $25 mil per fight. So, off top thats $50-$75 mil from the door. The 24/7's (HBO gets HUGE ratings when floyd is on) take big money to produce plus the expenses it takes to get Liev Schrieber to and from to do voice overs. Then the marketingand promotion. You are talking $100 mil plus to do 3 fights per year before we talk opponents, undercard, and any other expenses.

floyd is the biggeest draw and cash cow of the sport.../thread
