Mayweather downplays Pacquiao rematch; comfortable with retirement

Chatter about a potential Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao rematch has started again, and that talk got louder after Mayweather took in Pacquiao's latest fight on Nov. 5.

However, "Money" Mayweather says there's no rush - or need - for him to come out of retirement.

"A lot of fighters in the sport of boxing may want to retire, but they have to fight because they have to," Mayweather told Mike Coppinger of USA Today. "I don't have to fight.

"I just made $300 million for fighting Pacquiao. I'm OK. Like I said before, I'm happy with my position. Once again, the money don't make me; I make money. I'm well off. I make smart moves, and like I said before, I'm happy with where my career has went."

Mayweather was last in the ring over a year ago and won a unanimous decision over Andre Berto, moving his career record to 49-0.

But between Mayweather's attendance at the latest Pacquiao fight, the Philippines senator himself saying the fans deserve a rematch, and the remaining chance for "Money" to go 50-0, fans are talking again - keeping Mayweather in the spotlight even in retirement.
