This is a great way for him to exit win or lose. The best way of course is to win may it be via KO, TKO, or UD. But if he loses, for as long as he does it fighting and giving people a great fight then as the first 7 division title holder then he will still get the respect due to this humble fighter.
For Mayweather on the other hand, he will only get respect if he wins, with his arrogance and mouth, he needs to win in order for the people to agree with his mouth. This time people will listen. But if he loses, and gets that 1, I think no one will care to listen anymore and if he is not retiring I think his loss will be a great burden financially.
