'My health is my wealth': Floyd Mayweather says he's retired from 'brutal sport' of boxing

Floyd Mayweather has retired from boxing at least three times, but this time it just might stick. The 42-year-old boxing great recently told Reuters that he’s officially done for good.

"I've got calls to get back into the ring, but my health is my wealth," Mayweather said to Reuters. "Boxing is a very, very brutal sport. In the last few years a lot of fighters have died inside that squared circle."

A lot of fighters have died even more recently than that. Three boxers died in the last six months from injuries sustained while they were in the ring, including American Patrick Day.
