"Look at my watch."
"Look at my watch!"
It seems like Mayweather is showing off to mask his insecurities. Overcompensating.
I could be wrong but that's the vibe I got from him. Plus he wanted to get the hell out of there very quickly like "Oh **** this is embarrassing."

Fair play man.
If you and PrinceKool wanna help Im a gonna take that digitial on Floyd'd wrist see? then we sell it see? and liberate all the enslaved people of the world with the proceeds! You heard "it takes a village to raise a child?" Heck with that watch we can buy a few villages!!!!
You make a lot of assumptions. I don't live in America.
The point I'm trying to make is that you were making sweeping statements like African American athletes this and African Americans that. I don't think that's fair. There are plenty of materialistic people in the world, and they are that way for a myriad of reasons. The sweeping statements just kind of rubbed me the wrong way, but I think your heart is in the right place regardless.
Respect.
Fair play man.
I don't think there are any black American athletes that have been slaves. How could they suffer from post-traumatic slave syndrome? By the way, Africans weren't the only slaves in the world's history, but I doubt you would say anyone else is currently suffering from "post traumatic slave syndrome."
And "African Americans" don't need your expert advice about what you believe they need to realize. Try staying in your lane.
It seems to be a cultural thing in america, African american athletes don't need to have been slaves! Because the trauma and wounds are constantly being resurfaced, in the media and in Hollywood.
And i understand that African's weren't the only slaves in world history, the entire system running this world has benefited from enslaving all peoples from many cultures. But it was the labor and blood shed of the African that has sacrificed maybe the most for that great country you are living in man! and culturally from a psychological perspective they seem to be still suffering from some sort of post traumatic syndrome.
I am talking about such things as understanding their own self worth! man makes the money! money does not make the man! when you brag about money for me? this is showing lack of self worth. Money is just a piece of metal that man can manipulate, it is no God.
Men have more intrinsic value than money, we are the most valued force on the planet.
Man makes the money, money does not make the man. There is a old anime-movie called fist of The north star! where earth is plunged into post apocalyptic nuclear fall-out! the inhabitants who survived war, have to fight to survive! money means nothing! it has zero value! But being a man has value! I am not sure why some of these athletes brag about money, especially athletes in such a stereotypical masculine sports. I think black american athletes tend to brag more, because they are suffering from some sort of post traumatic slave syndrome culturally!
African american's need to realize that if you took away the banks, and society was plunge into complete chaos! money will not feed you, because it has no intrinsic value! the most highly valued entity on this planet is a man! we made all of these systems of money, and laws that in some area's enslave us! these systems where made to enslave the most dangerous of men!
I always remember a interview with Carl Froch, and the interviewer attempted to get him to talk about his career earnings! (He just shut the interviewer down, and stated that he does not want to talk about money because its flippant).
When Floyd Mayweather talks about money, i believe part of it is down to some sort of insecurity about his safety! he was safety first fighter, and this attitude obviously has served him well with his financial business.
Those watches are about $250k i think. You can't go offering a man $25m for one of the biggest events that can happen when he walks around in a $250k watch and it's less than he made to toy with Berto.
