    Will have a look for the article, what is strange is fighters usually fight the same way they live, mayweather fights safe in the ring, crazy outside of it. For the next few years he will be fine for money, but at some point is going to need to review his situation.

    His assisstant has released his spending in her book says he has bought 37 Bentleys, takes $100k out everyday, got ripped off for 15 million by a guy called three comma Joe, had a home invader steal $7 million jewellery and had a tax bill of 6.2 mill so had to come out of retiremen in 2008.
    He may make $100mil a year but 50% of that goes on tax. So he is left with $50 mil, now when you're taking out 100k a day and spending it all that adds up to $36 million and that's excluding all of his stupid bets. Like I say we will see where he is in 10 years.

    Tbh I think believing some random aid and other rumors is just as naive as believing Floyd's fanboys but yeah, we will see.

    He is not a smart business man he will do nothing with TMT when he retires. I think it's ashame because all of these hangers on are using him and the same thing basically happens to Pacquiao but sick of hearing about how clever he is. He makes his money because of his talant as a boxer.

    I will also say that spending money on things you like does not mean you are not a shrewd business man unless you are spending more than you earn.

    Because fighting Floyd will make him even more money than fighting Canelo. Plus the chance to take away that 0 is more appealing because beating Floyd will give him more recognition than beating Canelo. People can hate on Cotto all they want but he made the smarter decision fighting Floyd.

    And another thing; I'll bet Mayweather does an absolutely terrible Scottish accent.

    Maybe, I don't really know much about that stuff. Could what she said actually be considered defamation?
