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

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

As I mentioned in the OP…

We don’t know for sure but the evidence is damning.

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

Yeah it’s happened generation after generation. It’s crazy.

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.

- - Foreman weren't broke, he returned to boxing so he could expand his ministry, something U could use a little of.

He all but said he was broke look at the interviews from the time he said he wanted to build a youth center in Houston and didn't have the money for the center and launched his million to 1 shot comeback.

The better the boxer the more likely he is to UCK up his finances

Henry
Joe
Sugar Robinson
Muhammad

on top of the world no one can tell them sht

Nah, people living in abject poverty and war due to systemic conditions imposed by outside force is tragic. Some avaricious fool who needs constant validation blowing his stash is just imbecility.

[Coverdale]

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.

Because he attempted to live like a billionaire. When he bought palatial homes and private jets he probably only thought about the capital cost rather than the running costs. Plus he likely got scammed a few times due to gullibility.

scammers are simply smarter than floyd and when a scammer sees a dummy like floyd has lots of money they make sure to get close to them. they probably told him to make all kinds of silly investments which were dubious or scams to funnel money to the scammers themselves. and yeah he probably spent a ton of money doing stu-pid things like private jets and trying to impress the people around him who dont actually like him but like his lifestyle, when the money is gone, they gone

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.

This more recent article talked about him bouncing the rent on a $100,000pm luxury apartment. This by itself explains how he blew his cash. With all the properties he already owned, why was he wasting money on renting this in the first place?

Yeah it’s absolutely mental. Could be for SDLT or the US equivalent reasons, but seems highly illogical.
