Comments Thread For: Buffett Bailed on Floyd Mayweather's MGM Ring Walk

[SUBZER0ED]

I don't think it would have tarnished his image. He's very well respected, and also, he is up there in age. Like 84 or so. He was seen on All-Access already, and he gave an interview sitting side by side with Floyd during the PPV right before the fight. And was seen ringside during the course of the fight. This is all national TV. National TV! And yet none of this put a dent on his image.

I think it was more due to personal reasons, like him feeling too old to be doing that.

That's not what the article said. It said Buffet's people took issue with the behavior exhibited by Floyd and his hoes on the show. It was too late to do anything about Buffett's decision to appear on "All Access", but he was advised not to do the ring walk with Floyd. The walk could have easily been taken as full support for Floyd and his lifestyle, which Buffett's people didn't want. Sitting ringside at the fight just suggests he, like many celebrities, enjoys boxing.

It was good not seeing Bieber or whatever other rapper for his entrance. What happened with that, anyway? He came out more subdued and expressionless than he had in years.

That segment on All Access is still a head scratcher. Are they that hard pressed for viewers that they feel they felt the need to push the envelope by being edgy?

Smart move by Buffett. Man's not one of the wealthiest people on the planet by being an idiot.

warren buffett didn't want to be with floyd in the first place. he was begged and paid by CBS to be seen with floyd to show that floyd is among the wealthiest. however in reality floyd is nothing compared to the legendary billonaire warren buffett.

The idea only that Buffett was supposedly paid by somebody to do something makes me laugh...

Buffet was like "btch you walk into the ring with me not the other way around"

Perfect fit! All of that show and glitter is to cover up something missing inside of Floyd. Usually by the time an athlete closes in on 40, they start to realize that none of the toys can make up for what is missing and they become the person they should become. Just how long Floyd is going to carry on with a superficial lifestyle is anyone's guess. Someday he will have a life hangover and realize just how empty he is inside and find himself somewhere in the rubble and figure out who he really is outside of the sport and the mask he wears. He is extremely isolated and everyone is kept on the other side of the walls he creates. So close but yet so far. When he retires, all those rent-a-relationships around him will be gone in a heart beat. Hopefully he will find one person in the masses who he realizes he is real to they are to him, regardless of his money and fame. It will be hard because too many will be attracted to the wealth. He should join an anonymous dating service where his identity is kept a secret until enough compatibility points are met and that way he wont get stuck with a gold digger. At some point he is going to yell at everyone in his house "the party's over, get the *** outta of my house!" And the Ho's will be like "Why you do me this way?".

So funny, but true

Buffett probably realized how silly the Ring Walk Thing Is! I don't blame him

Buffett should never associate with any idiot like Floyd..

A lot of you don't realize how much of a baller Buffett is.. The dude owns Dairy Queen, Heinz ketchup, geico insurance, and many more companies..

Warren can spend tens of BILLIONS of dollars and not blink.. **** Floyd and his 100 million or so.. Warren is so far beyond him...


The only fighters that are graceful and reasonable enough for Buffett to hang with would be guys like Lennox Lewis, Roy jones, wlad... Guys that aren't dirt bags outside the ring..

Floyd officially now has too much money.

Not good for him...
