And BECAUSE he's undefeated, he can still make $1 million dollar shots to fight Exhibition bouts against Kickboxers in Japan.

Hell he could probably make a few million to have another wrestling match or something.

His unbeaten record is his legacy, and as long as he has that 0 in the loss column, he's always got money waiting for him should he ever need it because some people just desperately want him to lose.

If it wasn't seriously discussed that's all that matters. I don't keep track of every little throwaway comment.

In 2014 it was absolutely seriously discussed.

If he lost he doesn't fight Conor McGregor in a gimme bout for $100 Million dollars.

Now maybe it was worth losing for $20 Million, and not making $100 Million to fight an easy opponent, but I highly doubt it.

He couldn't have managed his career any better if he tried.

He got $100 mil?! I either forgot that or never knew. Wow. I guess when you put it that way.

Yeah, $80 mil is worth more than people's opinions.

He might've got more than that. Conor got like $70 Million I think. It was an outrageous amount of money for a fight that real fight fans knew was a farce.

In 2014 Taylor wasn't a Middleweight.

These crossover celebrity type fights shine light on why Mike Tyson is putting the pipe down and putting on his jogging shoes.

I know he's not putting the pipe down.

McGregor made 100 million, Floyd made much more than that.

Oh yeah, I forgot that he returned to the division.

Nevertheless I don't blame him for not pursuing anything at 160. The size gap between the guys he fought at 154, and true Middleweights is a very big one.

Oscar De La Hoya for instance couldn't ever got over the hump, and do much as a Middleweight.

Neither could Felix Trinidad.
