Hindi umano interesado si Floyd Mayweather Jr. sa posibilidad na bumalik mula sa pagiging retirado upang makipagtuos muli kay Sen. Manny Pacquiao.
Sinabi ni Leonard Ellerbe, chief executive ng Mayweather Promotions, kahit gaano kataas ang halagang iaalok kay Mayweather ay imposible itong bumalik sa ring.
Sinasabing kumita ng $300-milyon si Mayweather nang magwagi ito sa laban kontra kay Pacquiao na kasalukuyang pinakamahal na boxing match sa kasaysayan na nakapagtala ng mahigit $600-milyong kita.
“Floyd has no interest,” wika ni Ellerbe sa boxingscene. “He has zero interest. He’s been doing this all his life. And after a while, you get burned out. He’s given the sport everything.”
Giit pa ni Ellerbe, masaya raw si Mayweather sa kanyang buhay retirado.
“He’s very content,” ani Ellerbe. “He’s living his best life. I just talked to him earlier today. We went over some business stuff. He’s travelling, spending time with his kids, spending time with his family.
“He’s doing all the things that he never got a chance to do because boxing has consumed his life ever since he was 5 years old.”
Nitong nakaraang linggo nang sabihin ni American guru Freddie Roach na umaasa pa rin ito na makukumbinsi nila si Mayweather na makipagnegosasyon para sa rematch.
“Hopefully we can get Mayweather to come to the table,” sambit ni Roach. “I would like us to have one more crack at him.”
“We didn’t fight a great fight that night. Manny’s shoulder didn’t help at all. He’s had surgery since then, he’s 100 percent now. I would like us to fight Mayweather again because I didn’t like the way we performed.”
