Do you think Floyd Mayweather being super-rich could be a gimmick?

I respect Floyd’s hustle.. im not hating on any man getting money.

I just dont give a *** really about another man’s money though. Im too worried about mine.

Just consider for a minute. Could he have been an experiment in trying to generate crossover hype? Constantly telling us how much money he makes and how much he earns, despite being widely unpopular? Blatantly cherry-picking rathe than legacy building.

Could all the cars be hired/props? The private jets? The piles of cash which actually only equate to a few hundred grand? I've seen similar stacks on Netflix. What about when Conor snatched the bag and it had about $2,000? Could everything just be loaned to him for gimmick purposes?

An interesting thought. The most effective way to brainwash people with a lie is repetition. How many times do we hear Floyd talk about how rich he is and how much money he makes? The betting slips he likes to post have already been proven fake on several occasions.

It is definately a gimmick, I'm just not sure to what extent. They tell us Floyd is super rich and he does great numbers, etc. In my opinion the biggest buzz of his career was the Ricky Hatton fight. I doubt Mayweather ever done close to say, Mike Tyson figures. He just didn't create that buzz.

I reckon we've been lied to. I doubt we'll ever find out the truth if his real career earnings are maybe $40 million to $50 million.

You really had nothing right? I put some things in bold and underline others to speak my mind on that bullshit

but i give up ...this is really pathetic, troll or not

Mayweather is rich. However, his "Money" persona is a gimmick. He used that persona to generate interest from the public. (Kinda like the same way Trump likes to tell people he's a "billionaire"). He tried being "Pretty Boy" but that didn't work as well as "Money." I don't think Forbes magazine would put him on their list of richest athletes without doing a thorough background check to verify his earnings.

If someone think he's only worth a couple thousand dollars then that's just crazy talk.

This one had a little sip of some that Jonestown Kool-Aid.

Unless literally the entire boxing world is in on it and Floyd is in the Illuminati then we know for a fact that Floyd eclipses Mike Tyson as far as the figures are concerned.

I think if Floyd's numbers were all manufactured then the likes of Bob Arum etc might have had something to say about it.

Arum orchestrated the whole thing.

No idea how much money he has but I agree with one point. The various PPV figures do not add up to the limited buzz he has created. He isn't across over star outside of a small demographic in the US. I don't see how he'd out do tyson tbh. Although PPV numbers are not the only indicator of fame.

Anyway the media creates images that's its job.
