I've been drunk a fair bit in the last few weeks. Can anyone confirm or is he still keeping us guessing?

I think its Yes and No..... He has said the words "I'm done" but also said if the money was right he would consider it... but does doubt any fight would generate enough interest to acquire the money he wants.

Its a bit like Lennox Lewis "retired" but with a "but".

He's also said - 50 million and I'd fight anyone.
