    The fact Floyd is having to come back because he’s broke is absolutely tragic.

    Regardless of what I think of him personally the fact he’s having to return at 49 despite earning over a billIon in earnings is genuinely piteous. I know we don’t know for sure but at the same time I think the evidence is stacking up.

    I hope it’s just a rematch with Pacquiao or someone from his era. Would genuinely be sad to see a near 50 year old Mayweather sell his 0 to a guy like Ryan Garcia. And that’s coming from a guy who always rooted against Floyd.

      this guy’s real legacy was running through 9 hall of famers easily

      but he kept bringing up his 0 because it takes no thinking and works better as an argument on dumb people

        No guarantee that Ryan gets pass Mario

        Mario is far from great, but he keeps going and doesnt quit

        Ryan was recently shell shocked into a decision loss

          RJJ-94-02=GOAT I mean I'm not mad, I'm just...... disappointed in Floyd.

          How do you even blow through that much money, if he loses his 0 he'll have no one to blame but himself because this should have many enough for him to live comfortably for several lifetimes without any additional income.

            Yeah it’s just sad that this is still happening to boxers, this has been happening for over 100 years. They don’t know how to manage their money and they end up going back to the only thing they know.

              How tf is it tragic? If you find a way to blow almost a billion dollars then that's on you.

              Dont forget to wipe your mouth when you remove your tongue out his ass

                I got a feeling floyd will be ok. Rich people's broke isnt the same as regular people's broke. he was talented and futunate enough to be able to earn more than what most people could earn in 10 lifetimes.

                  btw, most people are still working in their chosen professions at 49.

                    50 Cent always said Floyd would go completely broke between fights. Even his big money fights. He had no handle on what he and people around him spent and had no financial acumen and was easy to take advantage of.

                    50 said he had to float him money to pay his taxes when he got out of jail.

                    It was clear he was always going to end up having to come back when the money dried up. It’s not whatvyou make, it’s what you keep.
