Mayweather Could Come Back - At A Price

Mayweather Could Come Back - At A Price

Floyd Mayweather has hinted he could be tempted back into the ring, but insisted only a "nine-figure" payday could lure him out of retirement.

The 39-year-old, who walked away from boxing with a perfect 49-0 record after out-pointing Andre Berto eight months ago, was ringside as a promoter of Badou Jack's WBC super-middleweight world title fight with Lucian Bute in Washington DC.

Mayweather told Showtime that while he was happy in retirement, he had not entirely closed the door on a return.

When asked if it would be for the money or the opportunity to take his record to 50-0, he replied: "Both. Yes, I'm happy to be where I'm at.

"Everyone is asking, asking me, 'Is Floyd Mayweather coming back?'

"Right now, I'm happy on this side, but I've been talking and you just never know. But for now, I'm happy on this side."

"If I came back, of course, it would have to be a nine-figure payday and probably a championship fight," he added.
