Mayweather training for 2018

[montrealsuper]

The only way I can see the McGregor rematch happening is if Floyd takes a dive to set up a third Conor fight. Outboxing McGregor in another boring sparring session just won't please the public.

[Tomasino]

Basically it sounds like people are reading "Comeback" into the fact that Floyd Mayweather is working out and staying in shape. He's been a gym rat his whole life, why would he stop training just because he's retired?

Sugar Ray Leonard still works out too.

I thought he was in training for Hagler rematch?

[littlepug]

Searching for the next fixed fight against a huge draw opponent. Won't be Golovkin, Spence because in a REAL FIGHT he'd lose.

One possibility is the Canelo rematch -- Floyd might agree to throw that fight like Canelo threw the first - And Floyd could demand a future % of all of Canelo's future fights. That would set him up with a heavy revenue stream as Canelo (if he ducks GGG rematch) is going to be a gigantic cash cow for the next decade.

this aint the movies dude !

That can be taken anyway you want it to, I would like to think he was referring to the amount of bullsh1t involved in boxing when your at the top level

That was meant as a way of saying #1 vs #2 takes 5 years to happen nowadays.

Recently posted on his Instagram, Mayweather seems restarting training a for 2018 bout and the possible opponents are ranging among MacGregor, GGG and Canelo. I think he is risking a lot, one slip and his "0" go away. What do you guys think about it? Worth the comeback? For beating Ricardo Lopez record?

You never know with Mayweather, as he is motivated by $$$$$$$$$.

It would not surprise me if he decided to return after someone waved a gigantic cheque is his direction.

No it wasn't. It was a revelation that all of his "fights" were fixed, rigged or choreographed in one way or another. "Boxing isn't real" is an outright confession. And it was made during a time of severe duress, when Floyd was under enormous pressure to fight Pacquiao in 2011. He did this specific interview in a depressed mood to Ben Thompson while driving his car. Unforgettable stuff. You probably didn't see it. Quit trying to cover for the greatest protected fraud in boxing history with your silly excuses. Floyd vs Pac only took five years to happen because Floyd was the duck and thank God Les Moonves stepped in and forced Floyd and Haymon to finally shut up and put up.

Correction: Motivated by easy money in the form fixed, rigged, choreographed "fights" or sparring sessions where it's pre agreed upon that his health and self preservation will not be threatened or endangered in any way.

When are you Rope a doped by mayweather clowns ever going to wake up to the great deception that is Floyd?

[Oiky]

Hopefully he just stays retired

[Badhusker]

Floyd is slightly less irrelevant than T. Fury, but still irrelevant.

[BAD INTENTIONS]

I’ve got Floyd on instagram. The main thing I see is he needs adulation. He posts pure shite just now. All his jewellery, always posting about his whorehouse in Vegas, last week he was walking to his plane while chatting with his pilot “Yes, Mr Mayweather, sir”

He will come back.

I have him on Twitter and there’s two much about his girls in Vegas, the escorts etc

He’s probably due an unfollow

Hmmm ... so it was worth it to follow Floyd when he being Broner.
But now that it's women ... unfollow?

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Floyd is done. He finally showed his age against McGregor. He wouldn't beat the top guys now. Ironically if he did fight one of the younger guys he'd show off his most underrated trait, toughness, to a point that any of the rationale people that dislike him would be forced to give him credit.

I follow loads of boxers. Now Floyd posts a fair bit of women in gimp masks etc. I don’t really care about it, it’s not why I chose to follow him.

I agree with you. But in one sense it makes it a little frustrating that his career above 140 he fought negatively as he has a good chin and good toughness. Wlad used to fight negatively to protect a vulnerability

[Kalan]

Is the reason 1 isn’t at a weight he’s ever fought at, and the other 3s careers have never overlapped with his whatsoever?

Add Lomachenko to the list of ducked fighters as well. B*tch Mayweather ate his way out of the division!

He never faced Klitschko or Joshua. What a fraud

Not to mention Keith Thurman... Errol Spence... Kell Brook... and Gennady Golovkin who wanted to fight Floyd for his legitimate 154-pound title... at a time Floyd was fighting Andre Berto ... and then somebody making his Professional Boxing Debut... Talk about Snake River Canyon Motorcycle Jumps.

[Kalan]

With the freedom to take whatever PEDs he desires and with 2/3'rds of the judges in his pocket, why would you stop boxing.

Cheaters always get caught for coming back one time too many and that's when they get caught. Floyd will be no different i bet.

Yes, he's caught in a trap of his own making. The money is just too big to walk away now.

Besides he can only preserve his own mythos by continuing to box. Desperate times for Floyd.

I think that when it is all written and said about Floyd's life and career it will still end up being a cautionary tail because when there's no more circus in town. When he can't come up with some money making off the wall matchup to grab any more 9 figure paydays, things will begin to come crashing down hard. Some say that he needed this fight with Conor to stay out of jail given his tax evasion..what's going to happen when he doesn't have the public to bail him out anymore? To me, Floyd will be behind bars eventually for one thing to another

Floyd has a lot of hard financial assets.. Real estate, classic cars, paintings, and what not.. Plus he has 100's of millions in financial assets that bring him many millions a year... It would be damned near impossible to spend down his fortune unless you're Mike Tyson or Evander Holyfield... Floyd is more like Lennox Lewis and the Klitschko Bros. They spend a tremendous amount of money -- but they make sure there's more coming in than going out.. Like Jack Dempsey and Rocky Marciano when they died leaving a fortune.. People are still finding Rocky's money.

Wlad was the biggest puncher in boxing facing guys that aren't fit to spar with him. That was frustrating.

Yeah lack of competition hurt Wlad for sure. Stick him in the early to mid 90s and we’d see the colour of his money then!

Floyd luckily doesn't have a substance abuse problem either. No cocaine, no drink. Means he should, in theory, be able to live forever very comfortably till he's in the ground. Tyson etc were massive coke heads, resulting in bad spending decisions and throwing money away. Literally.

He's got millions of assets that require millions of annual taxes to be made to maintain. Floyd was in a lot more trouble than you think prior to the CM fight and most feel that had he not landed that fight that he would have been looking at jail time of some kind. The deal is that Floyd is no Warren Buffet..he's not even Jimmy Buffet. He's never going to make nearly as much money doing anything else outside the ring AND there's no way he's going to stop spending like an idiot and fanning out his bills for publicity. He'll be in jail again soon, no doubt. I give it 8 years.
