退休两年后，梅威瑟将会于8月26日在拉斯维加斯的T-Mobile竞技场面对UFC超级巨星麦格雷戈，但赛后他将正式退出拳坛。
三个星期后的9月16日，在同一个拉斯维加斯的地点，阿瓦雷兹将挑战IBF\IBO\WBA\WBC中量冠军戈洛夫金，由HBO的PPV播出。
麦格雷戈没有专业的拳击经验，被大多数人认为这是一场不匹配的战斗，但预计梅威瑟将在比赛中赚取超过1亿美元。如果梅威瑟获胜，一个自然的对手选择将会是戈洛夫金VS阿瓦雷兹之间的获胜者。前提是如果梅威瑟决定继续战斗下去，他肯定还会赚到不低于一亿美元。
梅威瑟于2013年完胜阿瓦雷兹，但墨西哥超级巨星自那以后技术有了很大进步，获得了多场连胜，更重要的是他现在已经是美国最大的按次付费明星。但梅威瑟说，他没有兴趣面对他们之间的胜者，甚至不在乎他们会向他提供多少钱。
梅威瑟告诉史蒂芬.史密斯说；“第一次（我退休了）是一个假期，那时我只需要一个假期，因为我需要一些时间来做正确的事情，第二次（在2015年），我没有计划回来，但他们给了我一个协议，让我不能拒绝面对麦格雷戈。
我不认为（会有另外一个让我不能拒绝的报价），甚至我都不用去关心他们会提供什么。我把我的话告诉了我的经理海蒙，我握着他的手，告诉他这是最后一场，这就是我想做的。我们聊天，我很尊重他，他也关心我的健康，关心我的时间”。
Mayweather: Forget Canelo-GGG Winner, No Offer Big Enough
Five division world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26 KOs), 40 years old, has no desire to fight beyond his upcoming return - and says there is no possible financial offer that will bring him back to the ring in the future.
Mayweather retired in September 2015 after winning a twelve round unanimous decision over Andre Berto.
He will officially come out of retirement on August 26th, two years later when he faces UFC superstar Conor McGregor at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Three weeks later on September 16th, at the same Las Vegas venue, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will challenge IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin on HBO Pay-Per-View.
Mayweather's bout with McGregor, who has no pro boxing experience, is viewed by most as a mismatch. Mayweather is expected to make over $100 million in the contest.
Should Mayweather win, a natural opponent would be the winner of the Canelo-Golovkin showdown - and he can certainly generate another $100 million payday if he decides to stick around.
Mayweather dominated Canelo back in 2013, but the Mexican superstar has greatly improved since then and racked up a solid win streak, and more importantly he's the biggest pay-per-view attraction in the United States.
Mayweather says there is no interest in fighting the winner of Canelo-GGG and he doesn't care what kind of money is presented to him.
"The first time [I retired it] was a vacation. I just needed a vacation. I just needed some time off to get my head right. The second time [in 2015] I had no plans to come back at all. And they gave me a deal that I couldn't refuse [to face McGregor]," Mayweather told Stephen A. Smith.
"I don't think [there will be another offer that I can't refuse]. Don't even go to Canelo and Triple G - it don't matter [what they offer]. I gave [my manager] Al Haymon my word. I shook his hand and gave him my word that this is the last one. That's what I wanted to do. We talked, I got much respect for him and he cares about my health. He cares about my health, he cares about me period." |
