Maybe your right but Floyd doesn't really have anyone left to fight and the way he is blowing through money he may some really big payouts before he is too old to continue boxing.

Floyd is already 42 years old and at the most he has 2-3 years left. And during this time, we can expect at the most 5 fights from him. The problem is that the welterweight class is looking very thin and there are a limited number of individuals who can offer good competition to Floyd. His fight against McGregor paid him around $300 million and another 5 fights can get him well above $1 billion.
I disagree. Welterweight is the most stack up division in boxing. We have Crawford and Spence and then Porter and Thurman. We also have Danny Garcia and Vargas. The thing is Floyd doesn't want to fight those champions at this stage of his career.

In two months from now, Manny Pacquiao will be fighting against Keith Thurman. Probably Thurman will take on Floyd, in case he wins his fight against Manny (he is the favorite according to the betting odds). But that possibility is for 2020 and not for 2019. I think Floyd doesn't have any immediate plans to fight anyone this year (especially after his low profile MMA fight a few months back).
