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

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.

Put him in a rubber raft with a slow leak in the Middle of the Atlantic and don't give him a repair kit or chewing gum. If he makes it back without having to be rescued I'll buy the fight but you can't make me watch it. Boxing had him, he's gone and enjoy your retirement Floyd and earn your hall of fame spot by staying away, no more dull fights please. There are others waiting for a chance at greatness and if you keep talking loud no one will hear their names. P.S. Don't spend what you earned in one place and save us a lecture on why you of all people need a new car. Contribute to the sport by supporting new talent otherwise give my ears a break. I think you have a good deal to contribute but quietly please?

What makes this so horrible IMO is that Floyd's lifestyle similar to that of BHop and few if any ring wars.....

Could allow this 39 year old to retire and un-retire for another 10 years. Oh, the thought is cringe worthy.

I think the Manny fight worked because of the hype, but nobody else has the star power that Manny had, plus it was a snoozer of a fight. I would love to know who buys all these Floyd fights. I am sure it's Rocco saving up and buying dozens of PPV's each time. 100 million to see Floyd do his ballet? It will likely be Manfredo Jnr at SMW.

[ruthless rocco]

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

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