That's why no one should ever shame boxers for continuing to fight. I know people get washed up, but when the only thing they have done there whole life is fight kinda tough for them to make a living on other things if they didn't invest correctly.

Its definitely out there, I think that was before the JMM fight. He was retired, had his money invested but read the person he trusted with those investment was fraudulent. If i can i would search through the archives, it was definitely on Boxing talk because Floyd Mayweather refuse to do interviews with Greg Leon after he publish that report, before then they use to be close and he use to give a lot of interviews to Boxing talk.Comment

This is one of his assistant wrote about it.. in her book called "Right hand to the champ" Her name is Tasha Robinson-white....
"The worst of his [money] problems came in 2008 when Mayweather faced a series of financial disasters.
That same year the sportsman publicly announced his retirement from boxing - only to be sensationally duped by a conman called 'Three comma Joe' in an elaborate scam.
The alleged fraudster convinced Mayweather to hand over a staggering $15million to him for a get quick rich scheme.
Mayweather was told it would make him a $5 billion return. Unsurprisingly the man ran off with his cash.
Weeks later burglars robbed his luxury mansion in Vegas stealing an estimated $7million in ***elry alone.
The IRS were also chasing him for an unpaid $6.2 million tax bill.
Tasha said: 'It was a tough time for Floyd. The biggest blow was being scammed out of $15million.
'Floyd met with a group of middle-men who introduced him to a guy called Three Comma Joe.
'He was impressed by Joe, he came in with the flossy blonde girl, he wore a nice big icy watch, he had the flash and Floyd was like, 'that's my kind of guy'.
'After the deal was done they shook hands and began to hang out a lot, they were inseparable.
'Floyd wired $15million to a Canadian bank account and he was told to see a return very soon.
'But eventually Joe left Vegas and stopped returning phone calls, and the money train came to an abrupt halt. Nobody could find Joe, and no one could find Floyd's money.
'Not the $15 million Floyd originally invested, and definitely not the $5 billion he was promised to make in return. Life in the Mayweather camp got really nasty for everybody.'"
Mayweather and Robinson-White parted ways in April 2009 and she says the boxer still never recovered the $15 million. She claims the loss made him more spoiled and controlling.
The book also details Mayweather's team of hired strippers, excessive spending habits and troubles with domestic violenceComment
