    It's amazing what you can start when you have millions in cash raining down on you. I think you might be misconstruing the reason behind why he is able to accomplish those things.

    The dude made 4.3 mil gambling last year by betting a lot of money on low risk bets. He's doing something right.

    Of course he wouldn't have been able to do it if he wasn't the best fighter in the world. However there have been lots of best fighters in the world that don't make nearly as much money as he has. And some have been better fighters.

    Chris Brown is more likely to have no money in 10 years than Mayweather at this rate.

    He's gotta be one of the smartest boxers ever since De La Hoya.

    because he might have lost and missed out on a 250 million dollar opportunity. How much money would he have made after Manny and Arum got their cut of the fight. Even if he made 50 million from the fight, that is only 10 million more than he gets for fighting people that have little chance in hell in beating him.

    If he loses it's a tax write off.

    Gambling losses can only be used to offset gambling wins unless your job is a professional gambler.

    It's amazing to see the amount of disrespect he gets. You can see a lot of it in this thread even. Don't let the media's image of him fool you. He is a very smart guy in and out of the ring.

    The media is not fooling anyone, it's just a bunch of keyboard warriors jealous over how much money he has, plain and simple.

    Well Mayweather just made more money in one night than all of Clutchfan members made in our whole lives combined. Rich gets richer. Just ask the Lannisters.

    Yes, he is so smart that he was able to abuse and harass the mother of his kids and only got 3 months for it. Very smart!
