    That has nothing to do with the question. Mayweather can't pay $22.2 million in taxes and according to his own lawyers, is unable to liquidate his resources, in laymans terms that means he does not have the money.

    22.2 million is a little over 2% of his supposed 800 million dollar worth.

    That should have been pennies for him. Right?

    As a junior doctor I make less than a 1% of what Mayweather is worth but have never had any problems paying tax (and my student loan).

      Thanks you proved how dumb you are, I didn't pay my tax either and the money I make with that tax money while stalling pays my tax bill.

      You will be broke long before Floyd Mayweather is.

        Now, what is 800 subtracted by 180? That is 620....I'm supposed to believe he made $620 million from all his other fights, pre-McGregor combined?

        So again, I ask you a simple question, where is the proof Mayweather is worth this much?

        PS. I wouldn't normally care but since the amount of money he has made is continuously brought up to equate he is a business genius, let's all get our facts straight here. A man who can't pay his taxes can't make $800 million lol

          You just sounded ******ed. I bet you aren't even half as qualified as I am.

          But let's get back to the question at hand. If you can't answer it for a third time I will be blocking you.

              Respectfully, you are asking a different question than the TS. He asked how he made $800 mil. If you look at the purses and the total take (merchandise, etc) mayweather got from those fights, it's about that.

              You in this post ask how is he worth $800 mil. That is something completely different.

              to your last paragraph, I think you are letting your feelings get in the way of rational thought.

                Let's be perfectly honest...there is a difference between "can't" pay your taxes...and choosing to not pay your taxes..

                When you're dealing with the type of money Mayweather makes, you don't just have federal and state income taxes deducted from your paycheck like normal people do...

                And paying those taxes should fall on the shoulders of whoever Mayweather hopefully employs to handle his money...

                The bulk of Mayweather's wealth will most certainly be tied up in non-liquid assets...cars, houses, business, long term investments, etc...

                Those are not things that the IRS generally accepts as payment...

                The argument that he "can't" pay his taxes is more than likely his lawyers simply stalling until the McGregor payday...

                HOPEFULLY for his sake, whatever accounting errors, or ignorance that caused previous tax payments to be allegedly missed was rectified and he has somebody in charge of his money that has a clue as to what they are doing

                  Nope, question is simple, I never asked how he made the money, I asked to provide proof of him having made 800 million dollars. A bank statement? Legal letters? None of that exists and some of it is obviously private.

                  WIth due respect, you have zero idea how much he made from his fights and merch considering you didn't know how much he even made from his biggest fight.


                  At this point, it would just be better to say you don't know. You don't have to defend may every chance you get. Itsn ot on you.

                    This is how ****** this is and why I asked you to prove how smart you are.

                    You prove Floyd didn't make that money !

                      You have a poor understanding of what a liquid or non liquid asset is. A car is al iquid asset, a house is a liqid asset...why? Becausei t can be sold for money.

                      The basic reality is this, someone who is truly that rich, say Alan Sugar, can write a check for $800 million. Mayweather can not.

                      Again, all of that is besides the point. I can't imagine Mayweather having made any number of fight purses that, when combined, would amount to 800 mill. Endorsements? He doesn't have the same level that someone like Ronaldo or Messi does. Sponsorships? Once again, he isn't someone to be marketed by certain companies, unlike say Federer. His own merchandise? Bought by a small number of Americans and not much beyond.

                      So, proof or no point in replying to this post.
