“This decision was not an easy one for me to make as boxing is all I have done since I was a child," Mayweather said in a statement...
“However, these past few years have been extremely difficult for me to find the desire and joy to continue in the sport."
Mayweather, 31, was supposed to fight a rematch against Oscar De La Hoya on Sept. 20. He beat De La Hoya in their first fight last year and earned over $30 million in a bout that set records at the gate and on Pay-Per-View.
