MANILA, Philippines — Floyd Mayweather Jr. is just waiting for the opportunity to make more money than he’s ever made inside the ring.
But until that day comes, if ever, consider him happily retired.
“If I see an opportunity and have a little fun and make $600 million – why not,” the 43-year-old superstar told FightHypeTV.
“If I am going to do something it’s got to be worth it. But there is no one else that makes me worth getting back in that ring,” he added.
Mayweather, undefeated in 50 professional fights, has been rumored to be planning to stage yet another comeback.
The past weeks, the big spender from Grand Rapids, Michigan had gone to the gym in boxing attire. A rematch with Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao, 41, is being talked about.
“These are just rumors. I’m retired. I’m finished with boxing. I stay in shape,” said the fighter, who made $300 million in a 2015 clash with Pacquiao. He made almost the same amount in an over-hyped showdown against UFC king Conor McGregor in 2017.
“I am not retired from business. Would I fight with McGregor? People make $370 million. I make that in one night. I made over $320 (million) twice. It only took me 36 minutes or 28 minutes, something like that,” he said.
At the same time, Mayweather said he’s far from being broke.
“People say Floyd ain’t got no money. I don’t monitor no one else’s pockets. Am I comfortable? Do I make seven figures every month? Do I have smart investments? Absolutely.
“I am retired from the sport of boxing. I am enjoying life. I don’t want for nothing,” said Mayweather, the richest boxer in history.
Previously, word was out that Mayweather is close to squandering his wealth.
He’s saying otherwise.
