    LOL. Maybe. Wanted that $225k watch. That 70k watch is only a third of the watch the 225k one is.

      I don't know the particulars in this case but if I had to guess,

      The watch may have a list price of 70 but fighter suspects Floyd never paid anywhere near that

      The watch is hideous and not what the fighter would select if he was buying.

      Floyd was supposed to deliver a better paycheck and the watch doesn't make up for the short fall.

        What the phuk is going on! Is this the same cat that was crying about Floyd releasing sparring videos to mock him? Between this and Tank steady throwing jabs at Floyd these fighters feeling real brave right now. If I was Floyd I would put them on the shelf or cut bait. He don't need these ungrateful bytches poisoning the rest of his stable.

          That could be used as leverage against you...

          At least with cash you can live on and also it may be considered pay.

          With a watch, Floyd probably wouldn't want you to sell it...and you're stuck on whatever purses you have after fees which isn't a lot for many.

                  My understanding was this was a gift situation not a in lieu of payment take a watch type situation. If something like that went down thats HIGHLY f#cked up.

                  And personally I still say I'd do what I wanted with that watch if offered to me0. I'm gonna ebay it, pawn it or get 70k or near 70k worth of goods & services from some 3rd party off of it. But f#ck a 70k watch.

                    Yeah it comes across as a **** move no question. I too would not moan if some random millionaire reading this post decides to bequeath me with a 70k watch....

                    The other idea which came to mind though, which may be me just being ultra cynical, is that all of this stuff with these fighters falling out with Floyd is scripted. Mayweather made so much money from carving out an image as a money obsessed bad boy that I wonder if he's trying to send his fighters down the same path and leveraging his fame to do so? After all, we're all talking about it...

                      Floyd should just get out of this game, fighters in boxing expect a lot more than they will get it happens all too often and with the riches Floyd has accumulated he really doesn't need to do this at all.
                      We have too many guys in boxing promoting imo, the less the better.
