Floyd Mayweather Jr. has ruled out a return to the sport that brought him fame and fortune.

The 40-year-old Mayweather (50-0, 26 KOs) said he is happy in his retirement and he has zero plans on returning to boxing after a video surfaced online that he might return to the fistic sport.

If Mayweather were to return to boxing, there’s nobody for him to fight that will give him his 9-figure payday aside from Saul Canelo Alvarez and Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather already beat both of those guys, and it’s questionable how much interest the boxing public would have in paying to see needless rematches.

The only other guy that Mayweather could fight for him to potentially get another $100 million payday is UFC star Conor McGregor, but the two of them already sold an under-performing dull event last August.

“I’m happily retired. I’m not fighting no more, no matter what the price is,” said Mayweather to Fighthype.com.

Middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez believes that with Mayweather’s huge ego, he’ll look to undercut the rematch between Golovkin and Canelo by staging one of his fights just ahead of it so he can upstage the fight like he did last August.

Mayweather scheduled his event fight against McGregor 3 weeks ahead of the previously scheduled September 16 contest between Canelo and Golovkin in Las Vegas.

”It’s just like Floyd to step in front of a proposed event, could be messing with the rematch,” said Sanchez to RingTV.com, Abel Sanchez said.
