I think Floyd's "struggles" growing up are greatly exaggerated. His uncle is was a world champion fighter. His dad was a good fighter. And more importantly, Floyd was a child prodigy. I doubt Floyd wanted for a whole lot growing up, even though his guardians were less than ideal. I assume his childhood was pretty similar to LeBron's. Yes, they grew up in the inner city. No, they didn't have the best parents. But as child prodigies, they were walking lotto tickets. I'm sure money wasn't far outta reach.

While it was true that Lebron had it easier than most, Floyd did not. I know for a fact Floyd slept in ****ty motels (********** **** holes) with no food to eat in Detroit during training camps, when he was like 15. Yeah he had talent but boxing isn't as glamorous as youth basketball. He didn't have handlers. There's also some stories about him training at Don King's facilities when he was younger with basically no adult support.

I don't know where his family was at the time, but he wasn't taken care of like you'd think.

Floyd should know better! Look what happened to Joe Louis! And that's a fighter that America loved! IRS is undefeated!

Bro you don't even need to go that far back. Floyd need to look at what happened to Floyd lol. This is Floyd's 5th or 6th issue with the IRS ffs. Idk if Floyd is one of these Wesley Snipes mfers who just isn't as good as Snipes was with not filing his taxes (for awhile anyway lol) or if he just makes too much money not to be on the IRS's radar, but how Floyd isn't filing his taxes quarterly via some dedicated accountant on his payroll is beyond ******.

And sh^t maybe he gots someone & they effed up or something idk, but history tells me this is a consistent issue with Floyd for some ****** ass reason.

Randomly does anyone know if he's filled taxes for 2016 & this is just some issue due to all the incoming money he had in 2015 via the Manny fight?

[Butch.McRae]

Yea...til 2017 taxes end up being unpaid in 2019.

How the eff is Floyd never paying his taxes even after tax problems years ago? Floyd should have a dedicated accountant for this sorta bs. I'll always be like "Michigan Mfers" with people who came from where I came from, but wtf lets use some common god damn sense with basic sh^t like this.

Most people who make that type of cash don't pay taxes on time. (See my previous post) The effective way to handle it is to appeal, then settle for less money (like he did in the past, as noted by the article).

Requiem for a Welterweight:

One of the oldest sayings in boxing, the first warning every aspiring fighter hears long before they've ever entered a ring, is that the most dangerous punch, the one to fear most, is the one you never see coming. While the cliché is certainly true at the start of a career, it rarely holds up toward the end. This is because almost none of the great fighters in history ever stopped after that punch — and the history of the sport suggests that few can ever escape it. Pacquiao, despite earning a reported $174 million since 2009 from boxing and endorsements deals, is no different.

Why? Because, of course, boxing's not so well kept dirty secret is that, financially, most fighters can never stop. No matter how outlandish a fortune they've earned inside the ring and out, most greats not only never get ahead, few can even manage getting out from under. They never put much distance between themselves and where they came from. With few exceptions, they all end up desperately needing one more payday. And then another. And then another. Most are forced to hang around so long their endings are consummated by the uglier, more sinister punch that they all saw coming a mile away. Joe Louis, at 37 years old, was never blindsided by the physical punches that Rocky Marciano landed to knock him helplessly out of the ring and the sport. No, the punch he never saw coming and what set him up for Marciano's right hand was debt — in his case, to the government. Louis owed the IRS $500,000 and had nowhere else to go and get it but back into the ring.

Yeah man Floyd though seems to have the money he just don't wanna pay.

Ohhhh....... Lets see. This thread will be hilarous. Floyd vs Manny... Floyd fans **** on Manny before for owning tax and now this. Manny groupies will forget Manny owed tax before and will sh#t on Floyd.


Let's get ready to rummmmmmmblleee

"Mayweather’s gone back and forth with the IRS over the years. The agency filed a $6.17 million lien on Mayweather in 2008 for his 2007 taxes, according to a 2009 report in the Grand Rapids Press.
Mayweather ended up settling that for around $5 million, but in 2011 the IRS said the fighter owed $3.4 million in taxes incurred in 2009 and due in 2010, according to a report at the time in the Grand Rapids Press.
He also had to pay off liens the IRS filed against him in 2001, 2003, 2005 and 2006, according to an Associated Press report in 2009."


seems like he forgets to pay taxes quite alot

Remember that book thst chick wrote abt him. Like his assistant. He run around with 100k in a bag and never wear the same clothes twice etc etc.

All that sh#t will come back to u one day.

I hope no harm to noone but he can't like like that once he will be retired.

Or will he have to do like people say abt Manny.. fight until hes 45+??

Who knows. I would hope not

Floyd (scratching his head): I know I forgot something. Garbage. Did that. Put $250k on the Celtics, did that. Ostrich boots, yup. TUE yup made that call. Damn i know it's something I'm forgetting???

[Butch.McRae]

This is what you call "fake news" people. This is very common for people who make millions of dollars from non-employer related income (think dividends).

Nearly every partner at my law firm gets these letters annually lol I wouldn't pay them anything either until after the fight. I wonder who the guy is at the IRS who's working the Mayweather file (likely hates his job lol). His amounts actually are really low considering his fighting comp. That means these balances are related to non-boxing income.
