In the last few years a lot of fighters have died inside that squared circle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"19\">Although he has not fought since 2017, many still link Mayweather to a possible bout against Canelo Alvarez or Manny Pacquiao. But, he says he had a great career and now is the time to step away from the sport.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"19\">&#8220;You have got to know when to hang it up,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I had a great career.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"19\">Even though he says he is done with boxing, he is open to doing exhibition bouts. <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/videos\/video-rizin-releases-promo-for-floyd-mayweather-vs-tenshin-nasukawa-bout\/\">He fought Tenshin Nasukawa in RIZIN last December<\/a> in an exhibition match <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/rizin-ff\/rizin-14-results-floyd-mayweather-stops-tenshin-nasukawa-in-the-first-round-video\/\">where he won the fight by knockout.<\/a> For Mayweather, he says he is still open to that as long as the money is right.<\/p>\n<p class=\"canvas-atom canvas-text Mb(1.0em) Mb(0)--sm Mt(0.8em)--sm\" data-reactid=\"26\">&#8220;I&#8217;ll still travel and do exhibitions. I make great money doing exhibitions, between $10 and $30 million,&#8221; Floyd Mayweather said. I think I make more doing that than most fighters make fighting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"26\">In the end, if he never fights again he ends his career at 50-0 with notable wins over Canelo Alvarez, Manny Pacquiao, Andre Berto, Marcos Maidana, and Conor McGregor.<\/p>\n<p data-reactid=\"26\">What do you make of Floyd Mayweather saying boxing is a very brutal sport and he is done with it?
