    Ok will do, but can I laugh at him again when he has no money in ~10 years?

    And how much of that money do you get for riding his dick so hard?

    See what happens when you let people punch your head repeatedly?

    Do you donate all your spare money to charity?

    You never waste money?

    You post about those with excessive money-to-burn, than people actually commenting on the wastefulness

    People can't talk about money they don't have and will never get.

    I'll assume you don't have it. Why do you have a strong opinion then? Projected money envy?

    either say that your family is worth millions of dollars or don't. I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do here.

    You accuse me of having money envy, when I am defending those like Mayweather who get hated on because of their wealth. Now think about that, if I am truly envious of their money, I would be like you, the people who do the hating. Your logic is flipped.

    Its like

    A: "Dwyane Wade coasting, not being aggressive, missing so many shots and his team's down, but he'll go "HAM" AND come through in the end. He's got it like that."

    B: I think its a stupid approach that Wade couldnt be aggressive from the start, all the missing his shots put himself and the team in the hole like that is too much.

    A: "Well YOU and NO ONE you know WILL EVER have the talent of D Wade to even KNOW how its like, will you."


    (As though you need to be in "that level" to even begin to make a critique.

    I made not one comment on Mayweather's spending habits. How can I show hate? Yes I'm the one making a lapse in judgement.)

    50 cent has talked about how big of an idiot Mayweather is. He doesn't have as anywhere near much as you think and what he does have he isn't gonna keep.

    Why is everyone criticizing him over betting money?
    He's an ******* for not giving to charity? Not really. The whole point of charity is to donate for the sheer good will of whoever/whatever organization you are donating to. Not to generate public PR (like it is being used for now).

    Its his money, he can do whatever he wants with it.

    So when he covers, is he still an idiot?

    Yes.

    He didn't make what he was projected to make in his last fight because it didn't hit the pay per view mark it needed. I'd be really curious to see what he actually took home.

    Also, prizefighters pay close to 50% tax on their income (yes, prizefighters have significantly higher taxes) plus they have management fees plus Floyd has his entourage.

    Floyd can blow all the money he wants. He is just gonna be broke the minute he stops fighting. Why do you think he took that fight with Canelo so quick?

    Yeah I mean in reality he is just spending money on the juice of 10% or so. It's more like spending $590,000 assuming he is able to win 50% of the time.

    Maybe it's because he has to fight a certain number of fights in the next two years because of his contract( 6 fights in 30 months). Mayweather is a business now which is why he never fought Manny. He had nothing to gain from it.

    This dude knows the NBA won't let the finals be Spurs vs. Pacers. Easy bet

    I forgot that it was in a 30 month time frame. I think it's highly doubtful he fights every 5 months.

    I don't understand how you can say he had nothing to gain from fighting Manny. It would have been his biggest payday.

    Showtime lost money on their last fight. Things just don't make sense with the gaudy numbers being throw around. Floyd should hit the million PPV mark with the Canelo fight. If Floyd wins I don't see any of his other approved opponents generating any kind of significant interest. If Floyd loses he won't be making 30-40 mil per fight.
