There have been alot of rumors surrounding the possible end of Floyd Mayweather’s career when his current deal with Showtime expires. He has two fights left out of a six fight deal that has seen him continue to dominate while stacking some serious money. Is he going to retire after this deal? Is he going to pursue other interests? For the first time it seems like Floyd may be thinking he still wants to fight, and in turn make a ton of more money. Hit the jump.

Mayweather could bring his net worth to half a billion if he extends with a long-term contract. Even a short term contract would bring him big bank with the right fights against the right opponents such as Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Miguel Cotto.
“Even though I only have two fights left, you know, some days I think about signing a new contract and extending [with Showtime]. I’m thinking about it. I’m not 100 percent sure, but I’m thinking about it,” Mayweather said to Fighthype.com.
It remains to be seen how excited fans will be at the prospect of Floyd continuing to fight. Even though he has dominated his opponents, his fights have not been very entertaining to say the least.
The boxing industry as a whole is probably praying that Floyd will continue to fight because without him at the moment the sport has no marquee star to lean on to keep the sport relevant for the foreseeable future. Someone needs to step up and do it soon.
