Mayweather recently highlighted the fact that his previous "retirements" were all part of a strategy to help maximize his revenue upon his return (although some would say they were to avoid certain fighters who were at their peak). Floyd said that this most recent retirement is the final one, it's real and no return is planned this time, although that remains to be seen.
Could Ward be doing a similar thing with this retirement announcement? If he takes 12 to 18 months out of the ring and lets the light heavyweight division play out, he might return in 2018 or 2019 to challenge the (ideally unified) world champion for possibly the highest payday of his career.
