FLOYD MAYWEATHER will never box again because he does not want to lose his 50-0 record, says Shane Mosley.
Money and UFC chief Dana White confirmed earlier this month they had reached an agreement on an “event” in 2020.

There is speculation as to what that event might be – with other reports claiming another scrap with Manny Pacquiao could be in the works.
But former three-weight world champion Mosley, who lost to Mayweather in May 2010, doesn’t think we’ll see Mayweather back.
Speaking of the world’s top earning sportsman, Mosley told iFL TV: “It would be interesting but I don’t think he’s going to come back.
“He doesn’t want to lose the 50-0 record. Why would he come back? For what reason?
“Manny Pacquiao’s been in there with world class fighters, Floyd Mayweather’s been in there with UFC guys and kickboxers. It’s a whole different thing.
“For him to get back in there with Manny Pacquiao, I think that’s what they’re talking about, I don’t see that.
“But you never know, it could happen.”
Mayweather talked of earning $1million (£760,000) a MINUTE in his last fight – an exhibition against kick boxer Tenshin Nasukawa.
The American’s last professional fight was the win over Conor McGregor in Las Vegas in 2017, which took his perfect record to 50-0 in five weight classes.
Mayweather’s goal was always to beat Rocky Marciano’s 49-0 tally.
And it does not look like he wants to get to 51-0.
A second bout with Pacquiao – who Mayweather beat via unanimous decision in 2015 – was talked of in reports in the US.
But Money – who recently stepped out in a £13,4000 mirror jacket- appeared to play it down by suggesting he is out of the game for good.
He said: “I’ve got calls to get back into the ring, but my health is my wealth.
“Boxing is a very, very brutal sport. In the last few years a lot of fighters have died inside the squared circle.
“You have got to know when to hang it up. I had a great career.”
