Comments Thread For: SHO's VP: Mayweather Stands Firm That Next Fight is Last

[Barcham]

Please retire mr gayweather, this sport isn't for runners and wife beaters

I do not have any love for Floyd but...

In Tyson's own words:

Excerpts of the book provided by its publisher, Warner Books Inc., included Tyson's recollection of the best punch he ever threw.

"It was when I fought Robin in Steve Lott's apartment. She really offended me and I went BAM. She flew backwards, hitting every wall in the apartment," Tyson recalled. "That was the best punch I've ever thrown in my entire life."

They can't force him to sign an extension (that would be slavery), but I'm sure the contract preserves their right to veto any potential opponent they're dissatisfied with.

arum does that all the time

[LostOne]

Because as of right now there is no one on Mayweather's level, there probably never will be but if Mayweather waits a year after retiring and lets the public clamour for a 50th fight, maybe in that time, one of the young pretenders (Brook/Thurman/Khan/Porter/Bradley) will step up and make some waves in the WW division which none of them are doing right now. Neither of them pulling in big PPV numbers, neither of them are making any big statement wins so Mayweather is essentially in a lose lose situation if he fights any of these guys right now.

So he fights Berto then????

Retirement means career break for Floyd. So yes, have a career break and rest I will say you deserve it for now, as you've fought every six months for six fights so good boy.

When you are ready come back in your own time and rematch Pac. And then after Pac whoever you want. Whatever you have to do to get you to be TBE.

Of course he is. He has a 'final' fight to promote before his extension is announced.

Never known a slave to have a multi million dollar contract but if you say so.

To be honest, who can Mayweather fight, that will not attract some form of criticism?

Its like I said before, im not a Mayweather fan but people's criticism of his choice of opponent is a bit overboard imo.

Basically people want to see him lose. This is the be all and end all of it. So for that to happen they want to see him against bigger, heavier, ko artists and if it means pitting him against guys in the divisions above then so be it.

Once Mayweather gets KO'd or knocked down several times or beaten up real badly, only then will boxing fans wil truly be happy that Mayweather picked a right opponent.

They cant stand seeing him in fights where he coasts to victory and I can understand it but im just past the point of caring now. His style is pretty hard to beat so why pray and hope for someone to beat it. There is no one out there unless you start moving up the weight divisions and is that really fair on Mayweather?

Sorry for the length

Espinosa is lying through his teeth. They tell the fans that it's Floyd's last fight so people buy it and then he announces the extension early next year....this dirty rat.

[Jubei]

The only way they can promote this travesty is by saying its Mayweather's final fight, so people tune in for the last time and early next year he will announce his comeback, it's already planned. Espinoza is a piece of shi.t.
