Rumours are Maidana is announcing retirement.

He could have made even more money. Even though he lost to Floyd, his stock was up after beating Broner and the two Floyd fights and he was probably the best he's ever been.

But if he's content then good for him.

More of the interview: "I am retiring. I don't want to box anymore. It's mostly finished. The majority of everything is already decided and the decision isn't dependent on anything. I will announce my retirement in the near future. I am leaving very happy and grateful. I thank God for having given me this opportunity in life. I don't think I have anything left. I have given everything I could. My most satisfying victories were against Victor Ortiz and Adrien Broner because everyone had already written me off. But I couldn't beat him [Floyd Mayweather]. I have invested all the money I have won. I am doing things that give me good money and I don't need to fight again."

So to those saying he will be back for money, more than likely not. Also, Robert Garcia said that money in ARG is 10x more than in the US and Robert Garcia said he made over 100 million ARG cash, that means he got paid over $10 million when adding both Floyd bouts. So who knows exactly how much.

Yeah, $1 dollar is 13 peso in Argentina, but everything is adjusted for inflation in those countries. Like for example cost of living, like a $750 USD apartment in Argentina would be 10,000 pesos there i'm sure. I could be wrong, but money from the US or Euro are not exactly more in other countries, they're just worth more but cost of living is adjusted still.

See this website for an example:

https://www.expatistan.com/cost-of-living/buenos-aires

900sq ft apartment rent: 13,000 pesos
meal: 91 pesos
2 liter coca cola: 28 pesos
utilities for 1 month: 782 pesos
40 inch flat screen tv: 9,202 pesos
Laundry detergent: 147 pesos
Microwave: 2866 pesos

And so on...

So yeah, USD is not 10x more in Argentina like, your money will do a lot more for you there. Just that instead of buying a 2 liter coke for $2 dollars here in US, in Argentina their equivalent is 28 pesos, which is still $2 dollars or so. No difference really.

I'm happy for him, he earned it.
