His gambling addiction is what will cause him to go broke.

While I agree with people in this thread that it seems almost impossible for him to go broke, he is almost like a case study. The dude comes across as an idiot, gambles milions, and is at risk of mental illness due to his profession.

When he starts buying F-16s, that's when you know he's going down the road to financial ruin.

Hope everyone is having a great evening. Came here to say what everyone else has said: this thread is retarded.

it would be VERY sad, because he is rich as Croesus.

He made 10 times what Hammer (you can't touch this) made in his career, in that last fight.

It'd take a lot for this man to go broke


People have blown more money. Tyson blew through $400 million.

I don't think he earns interest. I don't think he even knows what that is.

Tyson didn't blow 400 million of his money, Don King did. I don't think FM is as dumb as many of you think. The money he spends on gambling, etc, is probably the same as us eating out for lunch.

Plus he has his own promotion company. He's going to rake in money even after retirement



Isn't his promotion company known for being poorly run, or am I confusing him with someone else?

I'm curious if his gambling tickets that he posts is real or not. That would be the only way he goes broke. Imagine the annuity he could buy with the 100 million plus he make from the Pac fight. Wouldn't be the best investment, but he could make multi-million dollars yearly from that fight alone.

Don't think Mayweather thinks or worries about this. For him it's straight cash homie.

He has a shite tone of cash, yes. But I don't think a lot of you understand the expense to maintain his current day to day lifestyle. Not to mention taxes, his entourage, insurance, gambling, etc.

He isn't the type of guy that will slow down once the fight checks stop coming in. I don't care if he had $10 billion in the bank, he cannot maintain his current lifestyle for the rest of his life. He will have financial issues in the future.
