I think there was a thread here years ago with some OTers very confident he’d never be broke. I think it was after he took his payout in cash for a fight.

$200,000 for a watch?

And who takes a check and doesn't verify it first?

And why is he writing checks? Is he a grandma?

They take a $20,000 watch and put diamonds all over it, thus ruining the value of the watch itself. Basically, that watch is worth scrap value of the materials as soon as he takes possession of it. It’s about the worst investment you could possibly make.

Floyd was used as a beard by a professional gambler to get his bets down. Not saying that he isn’t a moron with his other spending habits. Just that his gambling has been overstated.

The gambler made $50 to $60 million over 10 years solely by betting the over under on halftime scores for NBA games. Seems that two coaches always bucked the trend of choosing which side to shoot at for the first half. This means that two coaches were on the side where there team was on defense for the first half and could yell instructions to their players. This unnoticed was easily worth one or two baskets below expectations.

Yes, Floyd is stupid.

two hundred grand for a used watch, and he's apparently broke


He likely sold the watch immediately for cash. This was a money-making situation.

Just imagine if he hadn't spent just the money this picture represents. That alone is enough to live a very nice life for a long time.

I remember not long ago when a lot of us called this and the responses were “you’re just jealous “. I mean sure, give me $100,000,000 and you’ll never see me again, so I that sense I’m jealous.

We just all knew he had to keep up with the image he presented to everyone.

The Internal Revenue Service has a tax lien of more than $7.2 million levied against Mayweather for unpaid taxes in 2018 and 2023. A Las Vegas-area gated community filed a separate lien of over $22,500.
Why are these two debts mentioned together?

$22,500 is 1/320th of $7.2 million.

And an HOA lien in the context of this story is insignificant.

Hack journalism.

The few time I floated a check many moons ago it was to buy enough food to eat for the week. It wasn't to buy a $200K watch. I mean, us mere mortal float checks to survive. I would think a $200K watch is not an essential item.

There’s been a noticeable decline in his money flexing clips over the last few years

Good luck proving this. Im surprised he can write a check.

Never understood how someone could be so unbelievably disciplined in the Ring yet such a dumpster fire of no self control outside the ring. With Tyson you could kind of see it from a mile away with being certified batshit crazy, but I never would have thought Floyd. Thought he had all his marbles even with finances.
