    bearing in mind its money that he has earned through his own hard work and is entitled to spend or do what he likes with it

    when you earn alot of money you dont automatically enter into an agreement saying you have to be responsible or be charitable with your money

    and him burning money when people have no job right now, it makes no diffrence if he burns it or loses it gambling.. their not going to see that 100$ regardless of what happens to it

    It's a fair point you make about Jordan - people forget his off-court transgressions, his ego, and his personal problems. He wasn't burning 100 dollar bills, but he was no saint. I'll never defend Floyd's character or behavior, but as a boxing fan, his skills are truly unmatched.

    That's a fair point, it is his money, but there's a difference between gambling it and burning it, as nobody gambles to lose. Also there is a catalogue of incidents with Mayweather as detailed in the article, it just re-enforces the points made against him.

    Personally, I can see he has bags of talent (I mean it was after watching him fight I got into the sport seriously), and he really doesn't care what people think, but I don't have to like him as a person. And if there were people telling me it's ok for him to do things that are deplorable just because he's an awesome boxer then I'll have to disagree.

    Does that author plan to give Floyd contempt by giving Floyd money annually to watch his fights?

    I will not be surprised if the judge rules Floyd guilty of contempt of court. Floyd can't appear in courts to make his deposition since he's "busy" training/preparing for the Ortiz fight yet he's constantly partying and burning 100 dollar bills.

    WTF do you know about Pac "as a person"? You know about his ******* son that he used to claim and now doesn't? You know about his escapades with young starlets while claiming to be religious? You know about his attempted assassination of political rivals in Jinkee's rental vans? Yes you know, but you are too stupid to be honest. Are these the values you look for in a "hero"? :hey

    I don't even hold any of that stuff against Pac. Why? I don't care about anything Pac does other than Boxing and applaud him for bringing ignorant fools like you to the sport to spend your money. Get a life. :deal

    Huh? I don't care what FMJ does. As long as it doesn't ruin his chances of getting in the ring. Even then I don't judge him for it.

    I am a Boxing fan not a personal drama outside of the ring fan (like you). I care less what a grown man and what people who choose to associate with that grown man get themselves into.

    I respect the dude for what he does in the ring... Box. :deal

    Floyd is a top 10 ATG and he will not lose against Ortiz. Victor Ortiz will get his ass whooped in this fight.

    Pacquiao will get his flawed ass whooped too, boxing is a science sorry, go watch MMA.
