At the end of a difficult, prolonged evening,Floyd Mayweather Jr.was left staring at a June one jail sentence and a boxing landscape that he seems to believe cannot produce one more good quality opponent.

The unbeaten 35-12 months-old winner late Saturday mentioned he is leaning "eighty-20" toward retirement.

"If it was my final struggle, I gave them a bang," Mayweather (forty three-) said after his unanimous-decision (118-a hundred and ten, 117-111, 117-111) triumph in excess of Puerto Rico's Miguel Cotto (37-3) at MGM Grand.

"There is genuinely no a single for me to combat any longer."

Effectively, there's Manny Pacquiao, but with the sides divided in excess of funds, moi and what ever else they can feel up as leverage, who else is there?

The evident backup to Pacquiao seemed to beMexico's21-yr-outdated Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (forty--one), who dominated Pomona's Shane Mosley by unanimous choice Saturday.

But Alvarez's promoter Richard Schaefer explained soon after the struggle he'd just booked the rising star and Entire world Boxing Council tremendous-welterweight champion to headline a Sept. 15 shell out-for every-look at bout at MGM Grand.

With Mayweather's jail time period on a domestic-violence conviction expected to stretch into August even with time reduced for great conduct which is not adequate instruction times.

In addition, Schaefer released James Kirkland at the post-battle news convention, with Kirkland declaring, "I would adore to get that combat," as opposed to Alvarez.

Alvarez is "interested" in combating Kirkland, Schaefer explained.

"I don't have to combat if I do not want to," Mayweather said. "They say to conserve the best for last, and if this was my previous struggle, it was a hell of a fight."

Mayweather's swollen face and nose proved that, after he and Cotto expended an hour Saturday exchanging punches in a bout that was more aggressive than the scoring indicated.

Mayweather experienced high praise for his overwhelmed foe's skills, which shined most in a gritty eighth spherical that still left the crowd cheering on its toes. He said Cotto fought difficult, "but I was not heading to succumb to that pressure."

On a feasible Pacquiao combat, Mayweather explained, "It is not likely to occur."

Mayweather's position is that Pacquiao doesn't are worthy of a fifty-50 break up of revenues, simply because he contends the Mayweather brand name generates a lot more pay-for every-look at buys. Mayweather gained a file $ 32 million ensure Saturday, and that figure will climb.

Mayweather also blames his ex-promoter and Pacquiao's current promoter, Bob Arum, for complicating the deal after Mayweather promised Pacquiao a $ 40 million assure months back.

"It really is not my fault," Mayweather said.

For now, Mayweather said he'll invest the relaxation of May browsing with friends and family, taking in his son's football online games and daughter's gymnastics classes, with the June 1 jail date looming.

"When I go absent, I will jot down ideas for my business and my activity," he stated.

"You are not able to break Floyd Mayweather you have acquired to know that from when I get hit with those shots in the ring. This is just modest time, like education camp."
