    I'm sure he isn't struggling either, that also wasn't my point.

      i wasn't making a wish.

      i was just making an observation.

      besides.......

      floyd-level , tyson-level , jackson-level broke is probably a more comfortable life than most of us.

        The news about owing 6 Million in taxes doesn't help. Fact is, when you can pay someone else to do your taxes for you, and never have to do a thing to take care of it... and it's not done. And your late, to the extent they put it in the paper and make an article out of it... somethings up.

        Then you pull out of buying a house in florida you were contractually obliged to buy... There's more evidence to say he is hurting then he isn't.

          I'm sure Floyd is hungry now, but I don't think that translates into him becoming the type of fighter Manny is now. If he tries going against the grain in the sense of his style to prove people wrong, it might indeed backfire. But I don't believe Floyd is that dumb. I'm sure he'll be in fine shape.
          i didnt mean he;d fight reckless.but in his last two fights he looked bored in the ring

            How old are you? Oscar De La Hoya ain't even halfway to a billion and some you think Floyd might've been? You gotta be a kid.

                even if floyd got paid 20 mil. a fight every single fight of his career he wouldn't have made a billion.

                      People seem to forget about the 40% in taxes you have to pay....

                      You make 20 million? You get 12 million of that... thats just taxes...
