Not like he needs it, but Floyd Mayweather just bought EVEN MORE insane jewelry ... dropping $685,000 in a fancy NYC jewelry shop ...
Mayweather just walked out of Pristine Jewelers with several members of his Money Team crew.
Our sources tell us ... Mayweather bought more than a dozen pieces of jewelry for himself and his posse.
Mayweather had hit up the store Thursday and talked about his spending plans with the store owners -- before returning on Friday afternoon to purchase the goods.
It's not the first time Floyd's gone on a high-priced jewelry spree ... he spent more than $500k on a bling run back in May.

There is a difference between being broke and being bankrupt. Broke implies zero while bankrupt is more that you owe more than you have to pay but you still have something.
Floyd buying stupidly like this will cost him in the end no doubt but with how he otherwise burns through money blowing money on jewelry which is a relatively stable commodity is pretty good for him. It is not an investment because it will probably never be worth more than he paid but it will always hold a real solid value.
When time comes to liquidate Floyd's assets having stupid stuff like this on hand means a lot more than betting slips, expensive man purses and shoes that look like moon boots.
Why are you posting this? Other than you, who do you think gives a damn about this?
boxers have been going broke for as long as they've been boxing. some of the best boxers of all time; langford, louis, robinson, died having lost their fortunes. robinson fought and fought and fought well beyond his best. legend has it that langford was discovered in a dark basement, having gone completely blind.
unlike most careers, boxing income can stop pouring in abruptly. mayweather could break his hand on his first day in the gym, and never fight again. he could lose his next fight. at the very least, in 10 years, he's not going to be fighting at a top level.
Da Newz: "Floyd spent 700k on Jewelry"
Sensible person: "That's a bit extreme. He could end up in trouble spending like that."
Floyd Fan Halfwits: "Leave Floyd alone! U don't earn dat ish! keep hatin'!!! LMAO LULZ"
:wtf:

jewelry is just as good as money.....i don't see what the big deal is. yea jewelry loses value but so does the dollar.
Yeah except the dollar can earn interest, what's the jewelry doing besides depreciating ?
Now, only if you had $685,000 to spend, which you don't so you have to hate on a rich man that has it to spend.
floyd mayweather was facing serious IRS problems only a few years ago. you talk about his wealth like it is guaranteed, and it is not.
floyd mayweather has the financial acumen of a child.
Floyd owns homes in Las Vegas, L.A., Miami and has real estate holdings (apparently renting out office space) across the country, while also seemimgly refusing to even consider taking on any kind of debt.
The man had over $120m in a single account (unclear if he has other bank accounts) BEFORE clearing the rumored $70m on the fight with Canelo Alvarez. To that, you can also add at least another $70m for the two Maidana fights.
He's got a successful gym (Mayweather Boxing Club), a successful brand company (TMT), and a budding promotional outfit, Mayweather Promotions, with some promising fighters (Ronald Gavril and Kevin Newman II stand out), while starting the entire process counting down from $200m in cash.
When he's not fighting, outside of the trips around the world (some of which he's being paid for), Floyd's in Vegas, hanging out at his crib, making sports bets, or hosting parties at clubs (many of which he's comped for).
The fact that folks here so fervently wish the man ill is hilarious.
man looks at his weak ass squad lol, im surprised aint no one haven't rolled em up on them open fire and just jack that lil purse he has a million dollars in. Be in and out in like 10 seconds top, hop out with the cuernos fully auto light them up pick up the purse and be out.
In midtown Manhattan? :lol1:
WTF is the guy thinking dropping hundreds of thousands on jewellery for his entourage. I dunno, i reckon the guy cant really make strong connections socially so thats why he buys all tho sh*t for people.
I read an article about it. This is misleading. Sometimes he pays his team, and sometimes he doesnt. Sometimes he pays them late, sometimes he just pays them whenever he wants. He compensates by buying them jewelry and paying for trips.
