Is this the last we've seen of Mayweather on HBO?

[Replies: 218]
Do you think we'll ever see Mayweather back on HBO programming if he does come out of retirement. It seems like there would be some strain going forward due to his lashing out about bias on the behalf of HBO's commentators. I think he needs to take it easy so he doesn't burn the wrong bridges. I don't know if I agree with him about them being biased but the announcers do show their favoritism no doubt about it.

DiBella said this, really? He's probably just trying to sweat Mayweather, so he comes back and fights on of his fighters. lol

I was reading a story about De La Hoya yesterday and in it, it talked about the possibility of De La Hoya facing Mosley possibly next year. It also mentioned Mayweather and Mosley and the chance that they could end up fighting at some point in 2009. I didn't expect to see that. Any thoughts on this?

"Floyd can beat anybody from 135 (lightweight) to 154 (junior middleweight), so I don't think him retiring has taken luster from the division,'' DiBella says. "If anything, it's opened it up.

"Because of physicality and size, maybe Margarito or Paul Williams could provide a test, but there's no issue that Floyd's the best. Any one who doesn't recognize that doesn't know boxing."

Never said anything about God. I am talking about human beings. My question "What about pride in being human" was refering to the fact that you are a human. I just cant see how someone would want to see another "race" get hurt just because he is Puerto Rican, Dominican, Asian, African, America, it doesn't matter. It isn't pride to want to see someone hurt. It is hate.

So just because you support Mexican fighters it would be cool for a PR fighter to suffer brain damage or death in the ring? Wow man, you are twisted.

Does anyone really want to see Delahoya bully another small guy? I guess his farewell tour is going to be low risk. Steve Forbes, Manny Pacquia, who's next? This fight is bad for boxing.
