Wesley Snipes did 3 years over owing 17 mill and hes a way bigger star than floyd. floyd will probably end up doing 5 years if he doesn't fix this asap

Haters jumping all over him like he is broke and this is your typical IRS re-calculating earnings. Thy have a deal already to pay and in the reading it states that he has a lot of liquid funds

Well, there goes 20+ million of the Conor fight. That really makes me wonder if he really did need this fight, regardless of his "illiquidity of assets". He sure did step up and get awfully aggressive with wanting to make the fight with Mystic Mac. Rich or not, how is he going to be in 10 years financially?

Floyd is simple-minded like Mike Tyson.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Two problems with that statement though - when IRS recalcs taxes for everyone else, you get a deadline, and you pay by that deadline. You don't ask them to wait so you can make more money - that's a huge red flag. A person with liquid funds would not make such a request.
Plus, if he paid $26M of taxes and they say he owed double that, he must have had some crappy/shady accountant.
