Comments Thread For: Lara's Coach: Mayweather Won't Return, Retired For Good

[elfag]

Contracts have nothing to do with the united state tax code.


Floyd falls into the highest tax bracket which requires him to pay 39.6% of his income. This is a fact. It goes for anyone making over $406,000/yr.

It has also been reported that haymons charges a 15% flat fee of his fighters purses. Many managers/promoters charge more and in some cases DOUBLE what haymon charges. Do u think haymon works for free or for peanuts?

For net income, yes. They all have their tricks to reduce net income. anyone who is making that amount of money should have an accountant, lawyer and LLC setup for them to look at ways to do that. 50 cent said floyd didnt but who knows if hes full of ****.

Agree though hes wreckless with his money and not very smart about it. If Tyson, holyfield, MC hammer and michael jackson can all go broke, certainly floyd can. And to think of it, Michael jackson earned more than floyd and still went 'broke'.

Who else is there to fight? Nobody, enjoy your retirement champ.

Haymon doesn't charge Mayweather a 15% fee. It's lower than that (very low). BigPoppaPump verified this a long while ago.

This literally don't make sense. How does this apply to Floyd, yet don't apply to others? There is always someone to fight, and that would explain why SRR has over 100 fights as do many other ATGs.
Floyd hasn't had that wonderful career that there is no one left to fight. Fight GGG, rematch Pac first though maybe.
Achieve the impossible.

fight GGG? At what weight?


No point in a Pacquiao rematch. It was a clear win for Mayweather.

AS I said.....achieve what people don't think you can.
There was enough controversy in the pac fight to warrant a rematch. Controversial on many levels. Whether it was Pacs shoulder, to IV fluids or some thing Pac won, with a bad shoulder. Or maybe Floyd would be upset that many didn't think the fight was that entertaining and try make it more entertaining next time. Take your pick of reasons really. Maybe you can add your own reason.

No one to fight? Bull*****. So Berto was Someone to fight?

He has been exposed as a drug cheat. Now he can no longer ask for testing only after he has announced himself the fight. Delaying it until he is ready. Now he cannot just tell all-access when to record and when not to. No more waiting 5 hours to provide a urine sample so he can modify his drug levels. No more the****utic exemptions when there is no real need for him to use IVs.

That's the reason he retired.

No one to fight - while he fought Berto.

mayweather jr is 38 years old. its over. he beat everybody that meant something.he's a ATG, the greatest of this era, and a first ballot future hall of famer.

These fools in here are going to see thats how it goes , he is 38 with a couple of years of not fighting his ability's will fade at a great rate , speed is the first to go from a fighter and he is nowhere near as fast as he was at 35 .

He is retired for good thats my belief .

Retire Floyd you earned it

People bringing up people like Thurman, Brook , GGG etc need to ask who have they fought and what risk have they taken to get a mayweather fight....I'll wait ....none....when they fight several somebody's then we'll talk... don't mention Floyd name till you at least fought 3-4 legit fighters and as of now only Bradley and Lara can say that...also matthyse,
