SUSPENSE IS HIGH! COULD THIS BE THE END FOR MAYWEATHER?

VIDEO: WATCH AS  FLOYD MAYWEATHER  PREPPING FOR HIS NEXT FIGHT AGAINST ANDRE BERTO!

FTW: Is Mayweather really going to retire?

But why would we believe it? Mayweather said he wouldn’t be back when he left the first time, in 2008, only to return for the biggest paydays of his career. He says it’s always been just about the boxing, except for when he says it’s mainly about the business.

While trying to talk this fight up as the kind of competitive contest most assume it won’t be, Mayweather points to the fact that Berto’s trainer Virgil Hunter is good enough to make a huge difference, before saying that trainers can’t win fights.
He said it wasn’t personal and that Berto deserved respect, but then made a sly dig by saying he had spies in his rival’s camp.

“I sometimes contradict myself,” shrugged Floyd Mayweather, back in late April, days before the so-called “Fight of the Century” that, well, wasn’t. “Whoop de do.”

The United States Anti-Doping Agency on Thursday also disputed that Mayweather violated any rules, saying the boxer applied for and was granted an exemption for the infusion.

“As already confirmed by the USADA statement, I did not commit any violations of the Nevada or USADA drug testing guidelines,” Mayweather said in a statement. “I follow and have always followed the rules of Nevada and USADA, the gold standard of drug testing.”

Some of the bill’s undercard bouts are much more competitive on paper. WBC super middleweight titleholder Badou Jack will be making his first defense against England’s George Groves, who is actually favored to win in his third attempt at claiming a world title. Groves is between minus-150 and minus-160 right now, with Jack between plus-120 and plus-140.

Rocky Martinez is around a minus-220 favorite to win his rematch with Orlando Salido, with the WBO super featherweight title at stake. Martinez beat Salido for the belt in April, when he had home-ring advantage in Puerto Rico. Salido is around plus-180 as the underdog.
