    To point being: using a risk taking quote from a guy who died in his sport as a counterpoint to any 'health comes first' statement is ironic, and pretty dayum stupid. That is all.

    I wouldn't doubt him going broke, or at least, having to make some significant changes.

    I just don't understand how you spend 70 million dollars, even if you live lavishly.

    And, btw, what the HELL was Buffett thinking getting onto that show anyway?

    I believe I know the most about PEDS on this forum as I know guys who administer them.

    They're easily accessible via pills now.

    All sorts of PEDS.

    Ariza would put them in a blender, and the shakes would be consumed by Emmanuel D Pacquiao every morning.

    :hi:

    PEDS are extremely advanced now, they come in pill form from what I saw.

    If he continues to spend at even half the rate he spends money now he'll be broke in a couple of years.
    Think about the fact that he buys every thing in cash and walks around with LV bags full of 100s. He doesn't even allow his money to earn interest for him! He has no streams of revenue outside of boxing and has already had issues with IRS.
    It would take a complete change in habit and mentality for Floyd to avoid going broke. Maybe this is all an act and the 3 Buggattis are just rented for All Access. But I doubt it. The saddest part is that all the "advisers" in his life like Schaefer and Haymon are going to disappear the moment he can not generate income for them

    Fighters sometimes have to sign to TR or GBP to get a fight. I think Floyd learned this from Arum or was advised to do so. That's being greedy. And you're right, he didn't ask anyone to do Olympic testing until Pac, but he has everyone doing it now. Whether that's because he was scared, looking for a psychological advantage, or whatever is debatable. Pacquiao had additional testing with Bradley and that was in Vegas. And you're also forgetting the timeline of these demands. Not that I agree with them.

    that's true. but I don't want to discredit Senna as the risk he was talking about was the inherent risk of his profession (like boxing).
    Anyhoo, the guy cared deeply about his health as well as the health of others. He got out of his car once to help out a fellow driver who crashed and car was stuck near the racing line.

    Jesus Christ what's up with all these shitty ass threads Mayweather said this, Mayweather said that, Mayweather is so mean give it a ****ing rest. You know what you should do if you don't like someone don't bring them up.

    Real talk the only difference between Mayweather and any other star that's been in boxing is most top stars are the good guys so nobody gives a **** about there "demands" and Mayweather is the bad guy so anything he does is a reason to *****. Get over it.

    Its possible remember fighters don't get to keep the whole purse to themselves.promoter manager trainer and cutman all take a piece plus taxes that all adds up.lol you think al gaymon works for free.and the fact that he is stupid with money just buying worthless ****.jr also loses a lot of money due to being a degenerate gambler that is the fastest way to go broke.

    I agree. Gambling is a bich. If you lose control, it's game over.
