A Floyd Mayweather, Jr. return was hugging the headlines anew when he posted on Instagram a message and a video showing him on training with several people watching. Posted is a photo of himself skipping ropes with the message: "Hard Work & Dedication. How far are you willing to push yourself to get to the top and stay at the top?"
The boxing world is not counting out the possibility of a 50th fight. Floyd filed a U.S. patent for TBE50 and TMT50. TBE means The Best Ever and TMT refers to The Money Team. It would always remain a challenge for Mayweather to break Rocky Marciano's 49-0 record for him to become "The Best Ever."
?Oh I think Floyd Mayweather will fight again. Mayweather thrives in the spotlight so much it will happen,? Canelo Alvarez who once lost to Mayweather was quoted by World Boxing News.
It was also reported that Mayweather is preparing to fight Ultimate Fighting Challenge superstar Conor McGregor. Alex Ariza, Money's conditioning coach, believed that a match with McGregor could break the PPV buys generated by his mega fight with Manny Pacquiao.
And as usual Mayweather repeatedly denied of a comeback and insisted he remained retired. The fact that he was training was a part of his routine to keep himself in top shape even after his exit.
Mayweather wants to beam always in the limelight. He may be watching his former opponents now being mentioned repeatedly in all media. Pacquiao won as senator of the republic and is coming back to face WBO welterweight titleholder Jessie Vargas. Canelo is again in the news in a clash with the WBO junior middleweight champion Liam Smith next month after savagely stopping Amir Khan in round six.
The former pound-for-pound king said he is focused on training young fighters to become PPV stars like him under the Mayweather Promotions. Helping them become future champions is a good project.
But opportunity always knocks at the door of very popular sports superstars. His monicker "Money" alone suggests that if the prize is right who can turn down an offer to go back to prize fighting.
