Retired former five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) is tired of answering questions regarding a potential ring return.
Mayweather called time on his career last September, after dominating former welterweight champion Andre Berto over twelve rounds at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. That fight capped the final contest of his exclusive six fight agreement with Showtime.
Since that victory, Mayweather has been mobbed with questions regarding a potential ring return.
Of course, Mayweather himself has pushed some of these rumors of a potential comeback. A few months ago, Mayweather admitted during a Showtime televised interview that he'd consider the possibility of coming back - for the right amount of money. He also toyed with the idea of a cross-sport showdown with UFC featherweight world champion Conor McGregor.
Mayweather wants to focus on his promotional company, Mayweather Promotions. He recently traveled to Rio to scout young talent at the 2016 Olympic games.
With the upcoming return of Manny Pacquiao on November 5th, the hot topic of a big-money rematch has once again surfaced. Mayweather made $300 million for his decision win over Pacquiao last May. The fight had a record smashing 4.6 million pay-per-view buys.
Mayweather says the entire subject of fighting Pacquiao again is "old news."
"That's old. I like to leave stuff that's old in the past and move on. They ask me the same questions a thousand times and I say that I'm not coming back. They ask me the same questions over and over and over again. I just want to help these young fighters. That's what it's all about," Mayeather told Fighthype.com.
