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

    The only businesses he made the boxercise gym franchise and strip club were flops. He probably had all kinds of people take money from that

    Him lying about owning tons of properties in NYC was really weird

    All his hanger ons and advisors know he can barely read so he's not aware when they are ripping him off.

    Needs to stop pretending he's a business man and keep simple investments and also curb his spending which will be hard because he's made that his identity.

      This is basically it. He acts like he's part of the elite club but he ain't. The elites with crazy money, Gates, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg etc. For the most part, they don't go around flaunting their money but you know they have it. Gates isn't wearing flashing bling bling, but turtlenecks and loafers. He looks like a tool for the most part, but again, he has the funds that Jr. could only dream of. Zuckerberg for a few years I could say, I drove the same car as him. A simple 2014 MK6 GTI. Granted he had the full add-on package which I couldn't afford Believe it was called the Driver's Edition. Meanwhile, he could afford any car on the planet if he wanted to.

      Then you'll have a tool of a different kind in Jr. who needs to prove to you that he has money and show you, even if he truly doesn't have the kind of money he's pretending to display.

      I've no doubt he's squandered a lot of it on ****** stuff, but that's life and that's the outcome for many boxers.

          lol you’re comparing genius entrepreneurs who changed the world to a great boxer entertainer who had a personal brand

          Floyd was one of the first to grasp personal branding [b4 social media] and how it demands flossing

          Bill Elon Mark have upper class backgrounds. They show off in other ways beyond ***elry and cars

          the guys who grew up poor are louder see Jeff’s ostentatious wedding and his latina bimbo who’s always inappropriately dressed

            May got the accolades and the money
            Usually, it's just the accolades.

            For someone who "can't read", homeboy has done well for himself.

                If Floyd is broke that is really on him. He lived a life that almost nobody experiences and it is in his interest to be wise to keep that going after all that hard work from his career.

                  Yes, no doubt they have all that stuff, but they don't openly talk about it or remind you that they have it. In fact for the most part I think they like to keep it quiet/private. That is unless someone brings it up.

                  Actually, something surprising Musk once said was that he wanted to sell all his homes because it's a waste of his time. That instead of decorating and modifying his homes because he can, he rather use his time better to develop future technologies. While I'm not entirely sure if he really did that, it may have all been a speech to make him sound more honorable than he really is.

                    A question no one here wants to answer is....why do they care
                    Bonus (rhetorical) question -
                    Would they not spend that money almost as May did ?
                    (expensive cars, mansion(s), some level of bling, hoes.......)


                    It's embarrassing

                      Doesn't make any sense.
                      Great people are often discussed
