Floyd Mayweather says there is no rematch clause in Conor McGregor contract as insists super-fight WILL be his last
Undefeated 40-year-old says he has promised his children that next week's super-bout against the UFC star will be the final time he pulls on the gloves
FLOYD MAYWEATHER has promised his kids that his mega-money showdown with Conor McGregor next week will be his last.
The 40-year-old is preparing for the 50th fight of his career next Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena.
But no matter the result, which he is heavy favourite for, Mayweather is adamant that he will not return to the ring again.
He has previously announced his retirement twice after defeating Oscar De La Hoya and Ricky Hatton in 2007.
And he admits he fought his last victory, which took his record to 49-0, against Andre Berto in September 2015 would be his last.
However, after being lured back again by the huge purse on offer to meet UFC star McGregor, he is adamant this will be the final chapter.
Mayweather said: "I thought Andre Berto was going to be the last weigh-in, the last training camp.
"Honestly speaking, I thought that was going to be my last everything.
"But you never know what can happen. Now we're here for this big event.
"This is my last one, ladies and gentlemen. I gave my word to (advisor) Al Haymon, I gave my word to my children, and one thing I don't want to do is break that.
"I gave Haymon my word, I gave my children my word. I'm going to stick to my word. This will be my last fight.
Mayweather said: "I don't think I'm the same Floyd Mayweather I was 21 years ago (when I made my debut) - of course not.
"I'm not the same Floyd Mayweather as 10 years ago, not even five or two years ago.
"But I still said that I still have a high IQ in that ring, and experience-wise, (this fight) leans towards me. Most times when I go out there and compete against any fighter, experience will always lean towards me, because I've been in that ring and competed at such a high level for so long."
