    Will Floyd go broke before the age of 50?

    His desperate exhibition bouts now becoming a complete joke, and they will lose attention the more comical they become.

    Floyd is now trying to piggy back off of other peoples fame & success to make him some money.

    He’s now using Logan Paul’s all white fan base to bank himself some bucks.

    50 cent claims that the reason Floyd is doing these exhibition bouts and making small rinky dink club appearances is due to a deflating bank account because of an ultra lavish and irresponsible lifestyle.

    Is 50 correct?
    50 is known to be a troll but he is not a bull *****ter. He does know Floyd very well.


    Question is how long can Floyd keep up with these desperate exhibition bouts before he is finally bank drained?

    He was desperate for a match with Kahbib last year, trying to use Khabib’s success to pocket some of those dollars. But Khabib is not the clown type.

    Arrested for tax evasion ala Wesley Snipes is my bet.

      Luck or not, Floyd has been a very successful businessman, as far as boxing goes. It really is hard to say though whether this type of fight, at this time, is a want or a need for Floyd. I don't mind the spectacle of it, but something about it just seems desperate and sad.

        That’s why I’m pondering, is what 50 cent said about Floyd true?

        I’m a big fan of Floyd and I feel he is an extremely sharp individual and knows hit move. I respect his firm stance on his beliefs, he doesn’t allow his fellow celebrity mob to influence his decisions or opinions.


        But we also know Floyd has an extravagant lifestyle, and he’s no longer collecting 8-9 figure paychecks on the regular.

        In the past few years we’ve seen him attending rinky dink nightclubs in rural areas and also seem desperately chasing exhibition bouts with
        -insert popular fighting figure-
        whomever it may be.
        Rematch with Conor, boxing match with Khabib, taunting a Pacquiao rematch return, now a bout with Logan Paul?

        It seems very desperate.
        And he’s not even 45 yet.
        How much longer can he continue like this?

        He can’t continue his lifestyle without those 8 figur 9 figure checks every once or twice a year.

        So without them, he does have to dwindle his lifestyle down tremendously, which would explain why he’s constantly looking for another circus show exhibition bout.


        It seems 50 cent could be right in his accusation that Floyd has already blown through most of his fortune...he does purchase unnecessarily expensive items frequently and he likes to show off.

          At one point I think Floyd had 3 Bugatti Veyrons. 3 of the same damn car at $1.4 million a piece! Just ******!

          He has plenty to live quite a lavish lifestyle, but he takes it overboard and has a bad ******** habit.

          I have little doubt that at some point, we'll be reading about unpaid taxes or Floyd being broke.

            Yeah I think that might be an eventual assumption. Taxes might catch up to him.

            It’s clear that he’s desperate for more 8-9 figure paychecks but doesn’t want to take a real boxing match.

            So he either drastically reduces his lifestyle habits or he seeks silly circus exhibition bouts like this one...obviously he’s choosing the latter.

            But those exhibition bouts will run out eventually, and he’s not even 45 yet.

              When 50 used to say Floyd would ice Manny 50 didn’t know what he was talking about. Now his words are the be all end all?

                I guess, like you, I'm just wondering what is really going on.

                Consider it this way - if Floyd had $500 million in the bank, would he really take or pursue this fight? Wouldn't it be beneath him in that scenario?

                I'm not even against him doing the exhibitions and all that. Just something about it all here, kind of like you pointed out, idk, it seems a little off, sadly.

                Then again, maybe he is just bored, and wants something to do. And this is really all he knows. I can't possibly imagine blowing through all that money but I know his spending habits are a bit different to the average person.

                Really not sure what is going on - but at some point I hope Floyd can find his '2nd career' and kind of find some stability and success there.

                To put it differently - if it wasn't just for the money, wouldn't he say he is donating some or all of his purse to charity etc? With all that's going on he could easily say he is donating some or all to social justice organizations etc and would get a lot of good press for that.

                I think Tyson and Roy did that. But yeah I have an uneasy feeling about it and I hope I'm wrong. Just feel like it will end a sad story in 10 years.

                  Yeah when I think about it - I just say - OK what is the endgame here.

                    No. The Logan Paul fight will sell very well due to Paul's huge social media following.

                    Then there are more Japanese fighters to do exhibitions with.

                    Easy money for Floyd everywhere you turn.
