Floyd: I won't come back for less than $100 million

[Primo Carnera]

He will not fight again if he keeps his word but he will return for less money.

I don't understand?

He will try and sell his 50th fight and make out it will be the event of a life time. When in reality Floyd fights are boring, he can not sell a fight on his own (for the money that he wants) and the challenges he takes are safe.

At the end of the day he can say shit is pink and that the sky is green. It doesn't matter as long as people are buying. And if they're is enough interest in him and people are talking about (which we all are), then the money will be there.
At the end of the day, yet again, Floyd is just taking the piss out of everyone. Teasing and talking shit, and if their is enough stupid people in the World to enable him to get what he wants, then so be it.

Unfortunately, looking at this from a business point of view/perspective, Floyd vs. Canelo/Khan winner for the middleweight title or Floyd vs. Manny (if he beats the winner of Canelo vs. Khan) for that title makes him $100M easy. Floyd vs. Garcia, Thurman, Porter...etc., regardless of who they beat at that weight, won't get him that kind of money (Garcia for his 50th win and another title may get him some decent money though).

I don't think any of the fights Floyd will take at this point are interesting or will be entertaining at all (now that he has said definitely not to GGG). I would rather see Manny vs. Canelo-Khan winner, GGG destroy Canelo, and a round robin of fights between Porter, Thurman, Brook, and Garcia. Those are all much more entertaining and fan pleasing fights than Floyd shutting out an inferior opponent (they all are 154 and under) behind an average 12 punches landed per round. He's a great fighter and business man, extremely intelligent in promotion and boxing, but not very entertaining these days in the ring (I forgive him for that due to his age and likely boredom at this point of his life/career).

I do not forgive him because he is charging premium rates for poor sub standard performances yet claiming he is the best when he is past his prime.

Apparently, I had the gall to think he was serious about retirement.

[ruthless rocco]

Yup. You got me. I buy them all by the boat load.

But seriously... Who pays to watch fights?!?

Floyd Mayweather's company files for '50' trademarks

Mayweather told Showtime on Saturday that while he's happy to be retired, he has "been talking with CBS and Showtime" about a potential return, "and you never know."The company owned by Mayweather, who said he was discussing guarantees that would top $100 million if he returned, filed for trademarks to "TMT 50" and "TBE 50" on April 21, ESPN.com has learned. Records recently posted on the U.S. Patent & Trademark website confirm the filings.Mayweather Promotions is among the most aggressive athlete businesses, when it comes to dreaming up and seeking to protect trademarks. The company has more than 35 trademarks and has filed for more than 140 others.

And @Primo Carnera still thinks Floyd will not come back. It must be great living in a world where you have rainbows and unicorns.

😂😂😂. Well he hasn't come back yet, has he? He wants 9 figures and according to popular opinion (😏!), its Garcia. If he can get $100mill for fighting Danny Garcia , then the World is in deeper shit than I thought it was. I fear for people's sanity.
To me, the only fight out there that generates the money he wants is GGG, and he's not interested (quite rightly so IMO.)
All he's doing right now is teasing, and seeing how far he can push his luck. He's also taking the piss out of people who can't stop talking about him and having orgasms at the thought of him coming back despite saying the opposite. 😂

I just don’t see that fight paying anywhere near 100 million to Floyd. A rematch with Alvarez is most likely the only fight that presently would. He also would not have to worry about holding Golovkin to earlier catchweight offers. That would actually be worse than Leonard demanding 12 rounds, glove weight and ring size against Hagler. It would look weak and second rate. Besides, by fighting Alvarez for the lineal 155 title he would also gain the paperwork awarding him the middleweight belt. Not only that, Floyd would have to see a decline in Golovkin before he ever entertained the thought. The fight with Golovkin makes no sense or cents. Based on past deeds and given the significance of 50, this return would only be historical if he wins it. It’s why Garcia has already made the top of the list. Seriously, what a cake walk. 100 million for that? He’d be arrested for theft when he left the ring.

Nice way to include the Floyd references ("At the end of the day").

However, you left out "When it's all said and done"

Ha ha. It was in total innocence. 😄
