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

[SouthpawRight]

He's only fighting Pacquiao for money or barrios for a title.

I'd add Ryan and Gervonta to his list of potential opps

[SouthpawRight]

and suddenly I'm now interested in watching Mario v Ryan

Floyd's drawing power is still there

he'll be interested in facing the winner especially if it's Ryan

Since this article, he’s suing Showtime and PBC and he’s announced an ill advised comeback at nearly 50.

I think it’s pretty obvious at this point.

No mention of him being broke....as the title of this thread says.

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.

It was a billion gross before he paid his team and the government his end probably netted him 300 million plus. It's not that hard to plow through that amount of money when your whole day is fixated around spending money and employing a million people to do tasks for you because you made your life unbelievably complicated when it doesn't need to be.

It's been obvious for the last X years these exhibitions were to keep the lights on and to not have the situation he is in now. I just don't see the point of these fights when he will be right back where he started a good decade or so if he can't figure out how to cut back on his fixed spending costs.

What I find sad is boxers generally are from the poorest class of people that grew up on food stamps and social assistance yet when they become multimillionaires they have no clue to cut back on spending when their incomes have shrunk from their peak as an athlete.

I would not be shocked if this is true, but you have to keep in mind that Floyd being broke rumors have been around since during and after his boxing career.

[low blows]

I can’t stand Floyd, you dumb f***.

But this happened to Tyson, it happened to Robinson, it happened to Langford, if you wanna go back to the bare knuckle days it happened to Tom Molyneux 200 years ago.

I think it’s sad this is still happening to fighters in the 21st Century.

Langford never made any money as he never was the "real" champion so his purses were limited. Robinson had an entourage similar to Floyd but made inflation adjusted 1/10th the money of Floyd.

Really Foreman, Holmes and Leonard have been among the few champions who never had money problem after their careers ended and didn't have to do ****** exhibitions, greet fans/gamblers or other demeaning things to make a buck.

PS even Foreman launched his second career because he was broke but in his first career he spent money like a psycho ie owning a lion and had children out of wedlock etc.

[Johnny2x2x]

I know his cousin and live in the same city he grew up in. His family will swear up and down he’s cheap and all the spending is for show and that he really saves all of his money.

I can’t agree with that anymore. There’s no way he would be coming back at 49 if he had money. He’s just dumb. He lived life like he was a multi $billionaire instead of just a hundreds millionaire. He couldn’t afford a plane, but he bought one. He couldn’t afford to fly all over the world with an entourage, but he did. He’s broke, and he’ll end up broke in the end no matter what. He became addicted to being the big shot and flashy spender.

He’s going to end up a penniless bum who trains fighters to be able to eat.

[IronDanHamza]

You can’t read you thick c***.

I wrote always rooted AGAINST Floyd you absolute f***ing re****.

To the thread, it's the way for most of them. Sad that boxers just can't seem to keep their money historically.

[IronDanHamza]

Assuming he is broke is silly

I mean, it's quite a safe assumption at this point.
