    i picked the 1st choice. floyd has money but you cant say he would have more or less if he acted or did't act a certain way.floyd is floyd is floyd and he makes more the 6million a fight.thats all i know thats all i need to know.whos to say its his gambling or bad boy image
    might be charity work he does. i think he should cut back on that.

    **** the breast cancer
    **** the homelss
    **** the hungry
    **** the beaten
    **** the funerals
    **** the community

    he says **** this to all the things i mentioned he will have alot more money at the end of the day.

    Clearly its hurting him. Being the biggest ppv attraction is boxing is shooting too low for a light hitting 147 pounder. He could be bigger than Hopkins of he would drop the act.

    good question. I think he has done well though with his bad boy image. You cant argue with his results.

    Besides,what boxers really have big money deals worth more than 1-10 million dollars? He gets that and more with his PPV revenue.

    Unless he could of got a Foreman type deal with his grills(worth about 100 million). I think he made the right choice.

    Someone should give Void a Valium and get him to sign a contract to fight Pac! Void needs to get rid of his feathers!

    Floyd is a defensive fighter, with brittle hands. If he didn't take advantage of the racism of Mexican and white casual fight fans, he would be Timothy Bradley. There would never have been an opportunity for any endorsements, because he never would have reached this status.

    Bold: would that be such a bad thing? Floyd's said some pretty dumb **** over the years especially that bit about Jeremy Lin, even if it is true, is still dumb to say

    why does it always have to be about race with Floyd?

    just because you can run your mouth doesn't mean you have to .. and getting to run off at the mouth worst case makes you look ignorant and or stupid. Which goes back to Floyd and his occasional dumb comment or two

    as for being out of sponsorships favor .. you could always find new ones ... like if Floyd and Reebok had a falling out ... Reebok isn't the only company who endorses athletic wear

    and same thing with other sponsors, there's a ton out their and I'm sure if one dropped Floyd, another would be looking to have him sponsor their respective product

    which brings me to my last point as how are sponsors a crutch? It gives the athlete an additional source of income and not to mention added visibility.

    **think about how much more known in the public eye Floyd would be if he was signed with Gatorade, Nike etc

    it makes him money and provides additional exposure

    Are you ******ed? The reason why the De la fishnet bout was so successful was because Floyd ran his mouth. If you recall, he tried the Sugar ray Lenard route and it didn't work.

    The man is stupid rich. What are you guys talking about? If he had more or less, he's set for the rest of his days.
