Not surprisingly, considering your own stupid car purchases, you've completely forgotten about taxes, agents, promoters, and all the other money coming from his share.

Ask Mike Tyson how impossible it is to blow through $300MM. Or Evander Holyfield...

Not surprisingly, considering your own history of stupidity, you've completely forgotten that the purse from the fight alone was reported to be 300 million, with Mayweather receiving 180 of that in a 60/40 split. Not to mention the percentages he made from PPV sales, merchandise, endorsements, etc. dumbass

Tacky is putting it nicely.

No talk of performance. Just how much it cost and how exclusive it is.

Regardless of the gross $$ he makes or the nominal % of that income spent on a car. I just cant see the difference between a 4.8 mil car and a 300k car.

For me, I'm buying the awesome 300k exotic car and putting the rest (4.5 million) elsewhere.

Thank you very much.

I'd much rather have a $4.8MM boat than a $4.8MM car.

Not possible he will be dead in three years. Not wishing it on him just my prediction.

FM doesn't need to read or write. When you can buy, and casually sit on the hood of, a $4.8 million sled it really doesn't matter what the other .00001% of the world says.

It's like you people don't understand that Mayweather is a character more than a boxer. This is part of that whole "money" persona. That character is why people buy tickets and PPV and he made like $100 million off of his last fight.

I would have to be worth well, well over 9 figures to make such a purchase.


So would you also have to be worth over a million to buy a toyota camry?

Too bad that car will never see a track air be driven hard as long as he owns it.


This may be the only car he has that may not depreciate tho.

I don't get the hate. It's been mentioned that it's compared to me going buy a Highlander. And as far as his arrogance and stupidity, he kind of reminds me of Trump, Another blowhard rich a-hole who relies on behind the scenes people smarter than them to make they don't go broke. But their lifestyle doesn't bother me.

I have no idea what I would do with money like that.


I'd probably hang out sometimes at Walgreen's. When old people came up to the counter to buy their meds I would offer to purchase them for em. I'll never forget the old couple arguing over whether they ate or gotnhis wife's meds.

Might go pay off random layaways at Christmas.

Go to krogers and pick up some people's groceries.

Invest.


Not buy a fricking 4.8 million dollar car
