Mayweather told Showtime on Saturday that while he's happy to be retired, he has "been talking with CBS and Showtime" about a potential return, "and you never know."The company owned by Mayweather, who said he was discussing guarantees that would top $100 million if he returned, filed for trademarks to "TMT 50" and "TBE 50" on April 21, ESPN.com has learned. Records recently posted on the U.S. Patent & Trademark website confirm the filings.Mayweather Promotions is among the most aggressive athlete businesses, when it comes to dreaming up and seeking to protect trademarks. The company has more than 35 trademarks and has filed for more than 140 others.

Looks like he will try and sell his 50th fight and make out it will be the event of a lifetime. When in reality he'll select a safe opponent *cough* Garcia *cough*

I'm a Filipino, but Mayweather is a bad style matchup for Pac. Pacquiao can still beat the other top 10 Welterweight boxers after he's impressive win against Bradley.

Floyd should go up. If he did that and won, people would have no choice but to consider him a strong candidate for GOAT.

But why, who is GGG to Floyd? He hasn't beaten anyone noteworthy. Dude has wins over Curtis Stevens and Gabe Rosado for crying out loud.

Who was Berto? I mean did anyone take that fight even remotely serious? At least at this point GGG has a rep and buzz around him.

It was a contractual fight. He just fought Pac and had one fight left. He didn't give a shit who he fought.

Also, GGG should grow a pair and go fight Ward.

Due to the hate they have for him.

If you go by his resume, the principles of boxing, and even how much of a promoter he was and how many butts in seats he made happen, he certainly is top 3.

The point of boxing is to hit and not get hit. No one did it better than Floyd.

There is no one Floyd can fight except maybe the clone of a prime Ray Robinson who would give him a 9 figure pay day. It definitely isn't someone of the caliber of a Danny Garcia.

His last fight with Berto barely got 500K buys.

GGG would be the biggest money and buzz worthy fight of the technically available options.

Because people realized on one can actually beat him, and Berto, his victory lap fight to finish his career, certainly wasn't going to be it. :oldlol:

All those PPV buys hoping to see Mayweather go down, with the ones notching the highest buys representing which ones people really thought had a shot to beat him.
Then what happens after is excuses about how everyone wasn't ready or at their peak. Rooster above representing the perfect butt hurtness. :oldlol:

Berto was a garbage fight and no one wanted to see it, so they didn't tune in. Same with Manny and Bradley- barely got to the 500K mark. A lot of people were completely let down by the dud 'fight of the century' and both guys followed it up with trash no one asked for and the numbers showed.

Canelo-Cotto did 900K.

If Floyd fought GGG, it'd easily do 1.5 mil, probably push 2 mil.

Canelo-Cotto was supposed to do 1.5mil, or even push 2 mil we were told.

The fact is, the interest has died out since Mayweather left, and a new star hasn't appeared yet. ES Jr might be the next big thing to save boxing.

Both guys are foreigners who don't speak English well. Whoever told you to expect 1.5-2 mil on that one duped the hell out of you. :lol

The interest died when Floyd was still fighting. His retirement fight, the fight that tied his record with Rocky Marciano barely registered. No one gave a shit.

And promoters like Top Rank have made turning guys into mainstream stars a Science. Every time the public starts that 'Boxing is dead' chant following a mega star's retirement, someone else steps in.

Floyd and Manny were both doing 300K buys when Oscar was king.

Canelo's last fight did 900K.

Floyd will need to grow a pair for this. If he required a midget to be blood tested than this is a hopeless case. It would have been refreshing to see Floyd to come out underdog once in his career but history will tell you he won't.:oldlol:

Duped.

And Canelo is a FAR bigger star at his age than either Floyd and Manny were. At 25, Mayweather got his ass kicked by Castillo in front of 6,920 people at the MGM on free TV. At 25, Manny was barely known in the U.S.

Too bad Cinnamon doesn't speak much English. Learning some phrases like Manny did would do wonders for his crossover appeal.

Floyd is now the Will Smith of boxing. Demands millions for his services due to his delusional view of his worth of boxing fans, and still puts out garbage performances.

He really believes people are holding their breath waiting for him to go for '50'.

Personally, I'm good watching the likes of Chocolatito, Crawford, and Ward wreak havoc, let alone provide watchable fights, all while saving 75 fazools a pop.

The fact that Mayweather was older and more run down due to more fights than most of these guys will be ignored. Not to mention he spends more ring time in there than any of them due to his hands, and the fact he can't knock opponents out like when he was younger.

That version of Floyd had a chance to be in the top 10 GOAT conversation. Like I said after he went life and death with El Ternible, he became more cautious. He keep ducking guys that us boxing fans want to see. If Floyd took care of Margarito when Margarito was the most feared fighter at that time, if he took down Cotto and inflicted his first loss, boxed Paul Williams ears off and sweet pead Pacquiao when Pac was a beast then Floyd will be mentioned at the same breath. Great accomplishment usually comes from great risks and Floyd took little.

When did Mayweather exactly duck Cotto? Is this news to everyone else too?

Floyd fought Cotto when he was in some of the best form of his life, so cut the crap. :oldlol:

He couldn't beat Pac at his best due to him dodging Mayweather. Can't beat someone who doesn't want to fight due to blood testing making him weak. :oldlol:

Margarito was never a serious threat. Paul Williams is the only one you have a case for.

Floyd fought Cotto afte he got damaged by Margarito and took a beating from Pacquiao :oldlol:

He couldn't beat Pac at his best due to being scared insinuating that midget is in PED :oldlol:

Baldomir was never a serious threat. .

I guess Margarito never used a plaster. :rolleyes: He KTFO the 2 best fighters of his time and took their 0s like a boss.:applause:
