Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Believe I Can't Read and Spell? I Made $800 Million!

Education is about self-respect not about earning-power, you dimwit.

You worship a woman-beating scum bag who doesn't pay his taxes which help pay for welfare programs in the Black community?

Tell me what you like about Floyd other than him being Black, rich and undefeated in boxing?

Once again you keep talking about Worship and Race but then again looking at your other post you seem to be obsessed with those things!

Education- the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university.

You basically just made up a definition of EDUCATION to fit your ignorant ass narrative! Clearly you lack one because not only do you repeat yourself but you also using Name Calling like "Dimwit"

WORSHIP- the feeling or expression of reverence and adoration for a deity.

Show me where I am "Worshiping Mayweather" by simply pointing his reason for the lack of education and talking about how he was able to acquire the amount of money he has without it?

Mayweather be like...

Just because he made a lot of money doesn't mean that he's some kind of financial mastermind. Are we gonna say that Tyson was some kind of pecuniary mastermind too? He made a lot of money too, until he lost it all. I wouldn't put it past Floyd to squander most of what he's earned, what with the lifestyle he has.

This Is correct. Tyson lost It the same way Floyd Is currently losing It, with extravagant spending. In the end Tyson owed taxes just as Floyd does. You would think these guys would learn from others past mistakes. Floyd Sr believes It Is a matter of time before Jr has major money Issues.

To me it's just kind of annoying he doesn't want to say: "No, I can read."

Keeps making it a question and bringing money into it.

Just an annoying personality thing, I don't doubt he can read.

I'm not wishing Floyd any kind of bad luck. His IRS problem is a blog, his answer is defensive, my comment? Live it up, son. Being rich for a while is better than never.

Floyd was business savvy enough to buy himself out of a promotional deal with Arum. He was also smart enough to not give god-like power to a promoter, who in essence works for the fighter. So in that respect, he was kind of a mastermind.

Mike Tyson never made the kind of money that Mayweather did, and Tyson was being robbed constantly by Don King! What makes Floyd the smartest fighter is that he realized that he didn't need a middle man. Most fighters have a manager and a promoter. Once Floyd got rid of the promoter, his profits soared.

Mayweather’s business model closely resembles that of major music artists or groups. They pay a promoter a flat fee to handle the marketing and promotion of the concert and then basically rent the building, taking in all the money from ticket sales, concession and merchandising. Mayweather’s model may be closely associated with musical acts because Haymon made his fortune in the music promotions business before getting involved in the boxing industry. No other athlete controls all aspects of the revenue linked to an event like Mayweather does.

“You think LeBron James is getting a cent from the hot dogs that are being sold at concession stands in the arena?’’ asked one boxing industry insider.

He gets all the gate, 50% of the PPV, and yes, he even gets the concessions (t-shirts, hot dogs, etc.) money! His business model is on the level not achieved by any other athlete in the world! Love 'em or hate 'em, education or not, the man is the most brilliant fighter ever!

I understand your point but at the same time Floyd is a lot more mentally stable and controlled than Tyson. The reason why I don't see him going broke is because he's actually re-invested his money into businesses (Mayweather Promotions, TMT clothing line which makes $10 million a year, Bad Medina cosmetics, his own Strip Club, apparently he also owns tons of real estate too). Plus he says he has even more coming. So really can't see him going broke, the guys who go broke are the ones who can't do anything else. It can happen to anyone, but he's just too smart.

He can read probably just not at a very high level which is expected since he dropped out of school to purse his boxing career

Now looking at things? I would say he made the right choice! Now that his boxing career is done basically, he can always improve his education if he wants! So what is the joy people are getting by talking about his Reading Level! He can buy you and make you read to him for a living

But most people will never see 800 Million in career earnings! Even with their "Good Reading Abilities"

You got that right, anyone who say different is the one with a disability.
