Floyd Mayweather Talks Manny Pacquiao Rematch, Retirement Plans in MGM Presser

Floyd Mayweather revealed a lot about his future plans during a Tuesday press conference at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas ahead of Saturday's superfight with Manny Pacquiao.

ESPN.com's Dan Rafael was on the scene to report that Mayweather would indeed retire after the last fight on his Showtime contract in September, adding that the final bout wouldn't be a Pacquiao rematch.

Gareth A. Davies of The Telegraph and The New York Times' John Branch reported what Mayweather had to say about the ridiculous $200 million he'll earn for his upcoming showdown against Pacquiao:

Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix offered his take on the Mayweather presser:

Mayweather is putting down any fantasies of a second fight with Pacquiao, which may be a good thing. It took enough years for the two modern superstars to meet in the ring just once, and waiting until any later in their respective careers threatens to diminish the quality of boxing.  

Based on the massive payday Mayweather is raking in, Saturday's long-awaited showdown ought to live up to the hype and be plenty enough for both fighters to go their separate ways afterward.

ESPN Stats & Info presents a graphic to illustrate how hard it is for opponents to cleanly strike Mayweather:

With an unblemished 47-0 record entering Saturday, there is plenty at stake for Mayweather in terms of his legacy.

A loss to Pacquiao would leave an indelible mark on Mayweather's argument as one of the all-time greats. A Pacquiao triumph figures to dismiss any notions that he's lost his edge or passion for the sport.

At least on the outside, no shortage of confidence exists on Mayweather's end. His renowned technical prowess and ability to wear opponents down may be enough to get past the fast-punching Pacquiao and move his mark to 48-0.

Fans of the Sweet Science will finally find out on May 2 who has the upper hand between two of this generation's best fighters.
