    TBE and all that is just marketing but no doubt he was special inside that boxing ring and rose to the top of his era and stayed there until he retired; fake cannot do that in any universe, this sport will destroy most along the way but a few supermen that humans can put out, I admire all boxing champions because they are special athletes that lay it all on the line every time they step in the ring, all the while a bunch of teenagers with hat on backwards, wearing bloomers with their lip on their lap calling these guys cowards, when I was 16 there was none of his big mouth spin BS, if you wanted to talk sht somebody is going to sort it out, this internet stuff gave all the crazies and weak pricks a microphone.
    While he was great, Floyd did not exit unscathed. Nobody does.

    He deserves every penny that he earned. But he still never earned a billion dollars in the ring fighting. .................Rockin'

      djmeh is the last Pac Boi standing

      He's in a battle with himself...should he believe the nonsense he types or give in to the truth. The truth being he wishes Pac was more like May and not be ''that other guy''.

        Chances are May would not be as rich as he is without being a boxer.
        He's not an actor, writer, inventor, social media mogul....
        We can say 99.99999% of his earnings came from him being a very successful boxer.

          Okay I think he would have been successful in anything he wanted to do. Anyone who reached the highest level of boxing must be able to do it anywhere else too.

            Go into any resume from anyone anytime in history and I will point out many fighters they could have fought that some pea brain fan will say was a duck, you understand a fighter cannot fight everybody, for every top guy they do fight there are 9 other top 10 guys they didnt fight are they all ducks lol, the maths are not to hard for you figure out are they.
            Floyd was bringing fighters to the table then back out.

            I'd say those were clear ducks.

            Amongst guys whose names he wouldn't utter

              Yes, very smart ducking 147 and "retiring" when it got hot there for a little around 2008-2010. I understand why since he nearly lost to Maidana who Devon Alexander shutout with no trouble at all. TBE? sure at making money and dodging but fighting? nah

                yes tbe was definitely a marketing term for the less intelligent boxing fan to cling onto mayweather. But, damn bro a billion dollars networth is nothing to scoff at. Money May definitely beat the game of boxing.

                    He would have that much if he wasn't so bad with money, he is a broke degenerate gambler now.
