We had been hearing that same retirement bs since Hatton, and he kept coming back for more fights.
Japanese dudes pay him good money for exhibitions. Why you’re jealous about that is pathetic.
I get watching Manny have to take that beating from Ugas because he needed the money hurts. There has to be a better way of dealing with it than lashing out at Floyd for getting the same money to fight exhibitions.
Stalking me and others. Daily bashing Floyd. Your life shouldn’t be so empty, miserable and meaningless that you behave like this.

1) floyd was never a billionaire.
2) apart from pacquaio and mcgregor, his high paydays used to be $20-35m level for a few years. Take out costs, fees (eg al haymon) and he's not got as much.
3) his investments werent ******, he brought up real estate.
4) the money image was an investment, it paid off and is the reason why he can command such big paydays for showing up. So he flashed a bit of money, showed off a few mansions, cars, ***ellery and then gets $200m+ in two seperate fights.
5) he does it because he can. Maybe he misses the excitement of performing in front of a crowd? maybe he just likes earning what he calls 'free money'?
unless you're a mega billionaire, you're not going to turn your nose at a $20m+ payday just for showing up against a random joey.

another floyd hating circle jerk thread
the guy has worked hard all his life, travelling constantly, training,olympics,press tours etc etc and spent his life in the limelight and clearly is addicted to huge paydays whats he gonna do sit on his ass and do nothing which is totally against his nature? some people need to be busy and some can't stop missing the attention they got
the guy will never be broke even if he lost it all then all he has to do is sign his name off for movies and documentaries, turn up at dinners, do speech tours etc etc

so the modern day version of joe louis greeting folks at the door?
if he's all about "staying active" and "being challenged" why doesnt he fight actual boxers? welterweight has been loaded since he retired after the hatton fight. with all the notable competition signed with his boss al haymon. crawford is the only one with arum. if he's such a bad ass unbeatable fighter, why not let mma fighters use mma moves?
if its just "attention/limelight" that he's missing, all he has to do is show up to events. show up to social media. heck, take a tv job like many greats have. he'd be paid well for it.
his actions does not translate to someone who is a billionaire nor someone who is "just pining" for a challenge.bigsmoothh likes this.

These smart investments he talks about is supposed to keep him out the ring, yet he is still climbing into the ring years later.
Surely this couple of million the Japanese pay him to still get hit; he can surely do without risking his health?Offensive Wizardry likes this.
