    Because that's all he knows to do and loves it. Simple as that. He's not hurting moneywise at all.

    Should he not be fighting? He's in great shape with no blatent health problems so I say let the guy fight if he wants to! Its obviously what he loves to do......just please for the love of god stop making us pay to see him fight. lol
     
  4. Tyson blew Millions of dollars :deal also i can't fathom how these guy's spend all of that $$$$$.
    Foreman and Sugar Ray leonard, seemed like the rare few that managed money well invested well and got out while they still had their brain cells..:smoke

    Holyfield by a mile. I think he might have made more than Oscar as well.

    Holyfield has made more money then Mayweather in his boxing career, but Mayweather is most likely richer, mainly because Holyfield has a lot of mouths to feed with his 9-12 babies.

  13. Mayweather i believe also has stock in Philthy Rich records?, he's got 2 or 3 kids, 10 cars, enough bling to fill up a Wal Mart:yep but he's only 30, who knows what he will have left in 10-15 years???:huh

    Evander, not even close.

    Evander has been fighting huge fights since the early 90's, making serious cash. Floyd has only had a few huge fights.

    They both have enough money.
    But the thing I love most is how easily Floyd got his money.
    Holyfield being a warrior he earned his the hard way.
    Floyd Mayweather made his money not being hit very often at all.
    As a matter of fact he's talking retirement not because a doc said he cant take many more punches or anything like that.
    It's his hands from hitting people and training his shoulder from hitting people, and training.
    Now he may even make some MMA money.
    People say Floyd MAyweather is everything that's wrong with boxing.
    I say he fixed the worst thing that was wrong with boxing.
    Fighters getting damaged for the love of the sport while smarter men outside of the ring got paid for the love of the business.
