“I’ve got calls to get back into the ring, but my health is my wealth,” Mayweather told Reuters at the recent opening of a Mayweather Boxing + Fitness gym in Torrance, California.
“Boxing is a very, very brutal sport. In the last few years a lot of fighters have died inside that squared circle.”
“You have got to know when to hang it up. I had a great career,” he said, throwing cold water on the prospects of a rumored rematch against Manny Pacquiao or Canelo Alvarez next year.
Mayweather, who won the first of his 12 world titles in 1998, first announced his retirement in 2007 but quickly returned to the ring.
He retired again in 2015 only to come back to defeat mixed martial artist Conor McGregor in 2017.
After that battle he said his professional career was truly over.
As soon as Floyd runs into money problems, I’m pretty sure he’ll un retire again.
