With that being said money talks and I could see White throwing a lot of money at Silva to fight for the title again. There are currently talks that Silva will fight Roy Jones Jr. In the near future.
After watching the youtube JoeT posted above, I can see what you're saying. So why couldn't Silva just say "F it, I'm done have fun guys" and retire and not fight when he was obviously mentally not in it anymore?
