Mayweather retired?

[alphaqfrankie]

there you go a reitrement match between floyd and oscar. that's what it is all leading up to i bet.

sounds funny retorement match, almost like wrestling, The Retirement Match, but in this case instead of one being forced to retire they're both going too. haha, it's all marketing hype to try and build due to the fact that floyds ticket sales are ****.

I agree....

he did seem like those comments got under his skin....getting criticized after a lopsided victory cant be easy...


Im sure he'll fight oscar,I just always hoped him and cotto would meet @ 147.

I dont think its his fault he doesnt draw. Lets be real the main reason DLH drew was because he was Mexican American and good looking. He had a diverse fanbase. he can appeal to females and the huge Mexican fanbase. Mayweather doesnt have an appealing style to the casual fan either.

You're forgetting one of the main reasons why he keep selling out arens is because he always came to fight that in turn also helped him with cross over applear and it didn't hurt that fought the toughest opponets available. And if he got you hurt, he'd try to end the fight with a quickness. Just take a looke at his early fights, all he wanted to do was go to war and ko his opponet and if you managed to knock him down, then that just pissed him off and he's return the favor.

Very true...

Maybe foyd is just playin hard to get. Maybe he expects hoya to call him after hearing this news and tell him, "hey bro, don't do that. Boxing will it's best fighter you know. If you want I'm going to fight you and then you can fight margarito and hatton and castillo again. Any fighter you want, just don't leave"

he's playin the good ol' sugar ray leonard mind games

I'm with versatile on this, many boxers 'retire' but come out when it suits them.

It raises the profile and generates more money when they have to tempted out of retirement, SR Leonard did it a few times and it never hurt his reputation.

PBF has more to offer I'm sure!
