Mayweather says his last fight is Sept 2015

[smashup]

He's been quoted as saying it

So whats that leave...3 more fights in 16-17 months?

Id be amazed if he left boxing without facing Pac.

He will want to hit 50 and out have one fight with the highest bidder HBO or showtime to pay for the last fight.

Best case scenario: Pacquaio wins some big fights, Mayweather wins his next few fights, Pacquaio leaves Arum when his contract is up at the end of 2014, and Mayweather's last fight is finally PBF vs PAC

Yup. The ship has sailed on it being what it could have been, but it can still be a megafight if Pac stays conscious in his next few fights.

^^this^^
He never says 50 matters to him but how could it not? I imagine he won't say anything about it out of respect to Showtime but if he gets to 49-0 with at least 2 big event type fights(probably each September) he'd be leaving a fortune on the table in what he could make with HBO and Showtime dueling for the record breaker.

Yup. Marciano is on his hit list just as Moores longevity record is on Hopkins mind. I think Floyd and Haymon have it all premeditated and I've been saying for years that he aims to mimic Leonard. I think he will retire at 49/0. I think he will then appear to be lured out of retirement and probably fight for the middleweight title. Oh he wont find a Hagler out there to copy Leonard completely but he will most likely make a hundred million dollars in the process.

I thought Floyd had a deal to finish his career with SHOWTIME, he's a promoter and wants to be big time so I don't see him making enemies with SHOWTIME.
He could wiggle out of any deal with the right money but that would not inspire anyone's confidence in him as a business man, in my opinion.
As for Manny vs Floyd, like Master said it's past it's use by date, and truthfully I'm getting tired of talking about it.

HBO and Showtime had to join forces for Tyson v Lewis so it can be done :-)

That sounds easy in theory but some things have changed. Back then HBO was boxing. And HBO had way more subscribers. HBO still has more subscribers but Showtime has been gaining ground fast. It's easy to work with a company that isn't a threat to you and has a commodity(Tyson) you want to use. It's a little different when the company with the commodity(Floyd) is a genuine threat.
HBO and Showtime have gotten so close in who's the top channel for boxing that the people that spread misinformation are desperately pointing to ratings.(as if that's an indicator of success to a subscription channel haha)

But if its Floyds last fight on his Showtime deal there isn't any future threat.

It'd just be a one off

[Ron Swanson]

In that scenario the threat remains, the threat being Showtime. The commodity is gone afterwards, the commodity being Floyd.
