Boxing News: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Is 'Proud To Be A King'

Floyd Mayweather Jr. declared that he is happy to be retired and "proud to be a king". The five-division world champion admits that he is still making at least $1 million a month. The former boxing champion retired in September after beating Andre Berto. He has ended his career undefeated at 49-0.

According to Boxing News Online, many observers have found it difficult to believe that the boxing champion will resist the temptation to extend his career record beyond the score of 49-0 and will remain retired. However, so far, Mayweather himself has expressed his content to leave his fighting days behind.

Accompanying a video of himself sitting in front of a table stacked with money, Floyd Mayweather declared on his Instagram account that he feels blessed to be retired so early and he feels like living the "American Dream'".

Mayweather used to be very serious about his training and for many of his fans, it is just hard to imagine him taking it easy. However, he suggested on his post that he is doing exactly that. He can sit back and enjoy life without his "usual six-pack or muscle tone in sight."

Mayweather made a fortune in his career, getting to even be nicknamed "Money". Now, at retirement, without mobbing a finger he still makes seven figures monthly and his back accounts are still growing. Mayweather concluded that his brilliant decisions and investments allowed him to comfortably walk away from the ring and feel "proud to be a King."

Plenty of fighters, including long-time rival Manny Pacquiao, have tried to tempt Mayweather out of retirement. However, it appears that the 39-year-old is happy with the decision to hang up his gloves and he is now focused only on promoting.

According to Sky Sports, Mayweather has recently completed a European media tour including several shows in Great Britain. Sky Sport's Jonny Nelson was hosting a number of them. Nelson declared that Mayweather still has many fans even after retirement, people wanting his pictures and autographs or asking him questions.
