WelshDevilRob Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight in 2017? by Anthony George aka Zute Floyd Mayweather Jr. seems to be enjoying retirement. He is fully committed to developing and promoting fighters under his TMT umbrella. Yet, some people think he will return to the boxing ring in 2017. One boxing insider guaranteed me; as little as 4 months ago, Floyd will fight in 2017; to bring his record to 50-0. I do not by it. I did not by it after his farewell fight with Andre Berto, where many people were stating Floyd’s retirement would not last long, and I do not buy it now. I guess it is hard to let go of a good thing. But we need to let it go. If you listen to Floyd talk, he is done with competitive boxing matches. He has had this mindset ever since the Pacquiao fight; hence the handpicked choice of Berto for fight 49. You mention Thurman, Porter. Garcia, and the like, and Floyd cannot utter the words retirement fast enough. Floyd is not interested in coming back to the grind against a young, top fighter, and, based on the PPV numbers for Berto, the fans are not interested in any of his nonsense fights anymore. So, forget it boxing fans. The 49-0 is baked in the cake. Although, there is one fight Floyd is very interested in. The fans will be very interested in it as well. An asterisk if you will.

repsac Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Re: Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight in 2017? I don't see him fighting anymore. Unless it's for the money. But he has a shit ton of that at the moment. I think he's more concerned with protecting that 0 in the lost column. Personally i don't think he's all that great of a promoter either.

The_budweiser Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Re: Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight in 2017? Same as repsac. I can't see him fighting unless he's guaranteed a huge pay cheque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Re: Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight in 2017? --- Bragged about 9 figures being offer last year in spite of only pulling 300k for Berto. Of course he bragged about being a billionaire in his first retirement a decade ago before the irs put a lien on his JMM/Mosley fights for back taxes, but did he ever really fight or just run ?

mikeboxing Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Re: Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight in 2017? Unless Floyd fights Thurman, Crawford, Brook, or GGG at 154 , he should stay retired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right on all counts. Floyd never has enough money the way he spends it and it'll probably get to the point that he simply HAS to comeback, however I DON'T think that will be the case in 2017. I do expect it at some point and even though he'd love to hold the 0, he'll eventually be forced to. I can't see him being a successful promoter based on what we've seen so far.

pittbox Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Re: Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight in 2017? Fight against Berto has already looked like a boring, forced farewell fight. He should have retired after Pacquiao fight anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GianMan Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Re: Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. Fight in 2017? If he can get a huge money fight, sure. But he also loves playing the media game, trying to stay relevant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
