Undefeated, retired boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. said in an interview with Showtime reporter Jim Gray that he would contemplate returning to the ring in search of his 50th win … but they would have to pay him over $ 100 million.
According to the portal Bleacherreport.com, the former monarch in five different divisions and winner of 12 world titles told Gray that the CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System) and Showtime (CBS-affiliated network) have offered him nine-figure sums of money in an attempt to get him back into the ring. Mayweather Jr., considered one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, retired on September 12, 2015, when he defeated Andre Berto and captured his 49th win, no losses.
“Yes, I feel happy where I am right now. Everyone constantly asks me, ‘when is Floyd Mayweather coming back?’ Right now I feel happy to be on the other side of the ensogado, but I have spoken with Showtime and with CBS and the truth is that you never know. But now I’m happy to be on the other side, “said the undefeated boxer during the interview conducted before the start of the undercard starring Lucian Bute and Badou Jack.
“At the moment they have thrown me some impressive numbers, above nine figures. I feel blessed, and even though I don’t know what I’m going to do, I’m happy on this side and helping other fighters, ”added Mayweather Jr.
When Gray suggested he face the also undefeated Danny Garcia (32-0), whose mother is Puerto Rican, Mayweather Jr. replied that “Danny Garcia… another name, a prospect and undefeated world champion in two divisions. He is an exciting fighter, but you never know. ” Garcia is the current welterweight monarch of the World Boxing Council (WBC). (Courtesy of Primerahora.com).
