He wants to live like "Money" Mayweather while not even commanding prime "Pretty Boy Floyd" money, smh.
The mend got 8 kids, a woman he was supposedly looking to settle down with, and he's about through his physical prime now, leaving himself as an undisciplined 140lb fighter who's a step behind the even B+ fighters at 147lbs.
This is going to end bad for him
He balloons up in between fights and Im sure drinks and does some amount of drugs.
People want to just be gifted over the purses of floyd without putting in the hard work.
it's also more what the customization is too. If you get a huge, gaudy diamond pendant of your nickname...well, resale on that is going to be the price of scrap. I know I wouldn't want to wear a diamond chain that said "delicious" or some dumb **** on it.
Unless it says Dre or Tupac or some other freaking legend.
Mr T must have started this fad.
Jewelry are like cocaine when it comes to mark-up.
And jewelers have less honor than drug dealers.
They freaking replace stones with inferior one when nobody is looking.
Never take your stones to them for work and not look.
They better be laser etched or something.
They will replace them with inferior ones.
what is this fascination that african americans have on jewelry? it's like every black man, the moment they get some money they go straight to buying grills and chains. what is the point of doing that?
Bail money.
People surprised that jewelers still give Bronsr Jewelry. I’m surprised banks still give him checks
Lol, true. How do you write a check for that much? It would take a year to clear!
Buying stupid jewelries and sht lol. Typical peasant behavior. This is why money can be poisonous to some people who cant handle it. Give a broke niga some money and he can’t handle a little bit of success.
They make it rain at the clubs, buy stupid fkin jewelries, and do all kinds of dumbass stuff.
Broner is the epitome of an ignorant black man. He makes legit black people look bad.

America is probably the worst country in the world for the mark up.
A lot of countries, the craftsmanship part requires only a small premium but people get raped in America for sure.
A good jeweler to some people is more about status than actual value.

Im pretty sure I know why, they first payment is worth more than the actual jewerly is so its all good.
Broner comes in, picks a piece that the jewerler quotes me at 150K but in reality that piece is only worth 30K.
broner puts down a 50K down payments, and pays the rest with a check or whatever,.
The jewerly already made him money back now the rest is all gravy.
From the sounds of it though (this time) it was borrowed/rented jewelry that he didn’t return? I’m at work so I only skimmed the article.
But you’re not wrong about custom jewelry. It’s why I’d rock a gold chain, but not some insane custom piece that’s 3x the amount of the gold.
Pawn shops stay in business buying bling from broke thugs. The thugs pay full price and pawn if off for a fraction....Or other thugs rob it from them.
Ghetto economics.
Same principle applies to keeping bail bondsman is business.
AB is a strong role model for the thug lifestyle.
8 Kids by different momma's - dude is a ghetto legend.
A vasectomy and lobotomy would actually benefit society in this situation.
