    Why he fights once a year is simple,he fights for money and makes more money than anyone else in boxing.He's a profit maximiser so no need for huge volumes but huge margins

      Huge volumes + Huge margins > Low volumes + Huge margins
      $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ > $$$$$$$$

        Cause mayweather is a coward straight up. The fighting for money excuse is more bulls*it than all the bulls in Spain. The more you fight the more you make.....DUH! He just doesnt want that 1 loss on his record cuz then people will know what a fraud he truly is.

          PBF fights when he wants to fight because at the minute he is the biggest attraction along with Pac in Boxing and can pick and choose when he competes. His schedule would be different if he was looking to add more titles to his cv, but he's openly admitted he's not in it for the titles anymore, instead so he says the big pay cheque and i think the adulation of being the best fighter in the world.

            And this is why more fightes/promoters don't fight tough, because boxing fight fans think one lost is the end....
            Mayweather doesn't fight more because he doesn't like to fight..he is great at it but don't love it...if you can make the same amount for working one day instead of daily then you may do the same...

              why do you think they only release a small proportion of gold in the markets? To make it seem rare and thus the price is ridiculous. When Mayweather fights its the biggest event in boxing, he doesn't need to put his body through so much stress especially at his age now.

                I think if Mayweather kept fighting he would up his price even more than by NOT fighting.

                If he had fought and beaten Cotto and Margo in 2008, and Pac in 2010, and dropped his whole fake gangsta image, people would be naming streets after him.

                  Increase in supply lowers prices.WHat you said is true in a non differentiated product or cowboy brands.You can easily tell by the guaranteed minimum Floyd gets just to step into the ring that his strategy works.
                  This is Mayweather's deliberate strategy,he already said when he fights it's a superbowl,it has to be an event.Needless to say when Floyd fights you know where all the A-listers will be,Las Vegas spending money.It's like who is who will be in the desert,in everyone will be glued to the screens.Right now he hasnt even announced his fight yet there are more threads of Mayweather than Manny-Margarito,that shows the public's appetite for Mayweather's fights.

                    Not as hungry as he used to be so doesn't fight full time.

                      Agreed. Every single day on this forum, people are talking more about FLoyd than any other fighter or event.
