Pinasinungalingan ni five-division world champion at undefeated boxing fighter na si ‘Pretty Boy’ Floyd Mayweather ang mga bali-balita at alegasyon na nagkukulang na ito sa pananalapi kung kaya’t babalik na ito sa mundo ng boxing.
Nilinaw ng 43-anyos na American boxer/promoter na mananatili itong retirado sa mundo ng pampalakasan, kahit pa man may alok na malaking halaga sa kanya. Ayaw man banggitin ni Mayweather ang pigurang presyong alok para lamang muling magbalik ito sa akyon para sa kanyang ika-51 laban. Gayunman, magdedepende pa rin ito sa kanyang kagustuhan.
“People keep saying, ‘Floyd ain’t got nobody, he don’t got this and he don’t got that. But I’m going to break certain things down,” pahayag ni Mayweather sa panayam ng fighthype.com. “I don’t monitor nobody else’s pockets. Am I comfortable? – Absolutely. Do I make seven figures every month? – Absolutely. From smart investments? – Absolutely. But if I see an opportunity where I can entertain and have a little fun and make six hundred million, why not?”
Inamin ni Mayweather na sakaling magbalik laban ito ay hindi ito matutumbasan ng anumang halaga lalo na’t magbibigay ito sa kanya ng kaligayahan at kakuntentuhan.
Isa sa mga inaabangang muling makakalaban ni Mayweather ay si eight-division champion at World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight titlist na si Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao na kanyang tinalo sa pamamagitan ng 12-round unanimous decision at tinatayang kumita ng mahigit na $600 million.
“If I am going to do something, it’s got to be worth it. But there’s no number that’s worth me getting back in that ring and fighting these young fighters to get any type of wear and tear on my body,” ika niya. “Am I going to fight any fighters as of right now? – No, I’m retired. I’m retired from the sport of boxing. I’m training, having fun, and enjoying life. I don’t want for nothing. I’m not retired from business.”
