    Sorry, I'm a bit late to the party on only just watched 24/7.

    Everyone knows Floyd likes a gamble, and everyone knows he likes to bet big. But betting a £100k to win £86k doesn't seem to smart.

    I might me reading to much into it, but why does Mayweather need £86k? He is betting for the thrill, for the buzz.

    It's dangerous, very dangerous, *Floyd talks allot about what he wins, but we never here about what he loses.

    You can have all the money in the world but you can easily **** it away gambling.

    Nah, I can't see it.

    Floyd's too smart to blow everything. The bets he make are actually wise bets, the guy earns millions upon millions when he fights plus all the promotional ****.. 100k to him aint ****.

    Anythings possible, but he doesn't have debt (per what he says, houses/cars/etc are paid for) and he will have earning potential after he's done fighting, he'll be fine.

    Firstly, I really dont think it matters, what the man does with his money is up to him. But, He will not go broke-broke, because of his company, and investments in the sport, and other companies.

    As Cotto said, he earns his money & he can do what he pleases with it. I totally agree with that, but gambling is a dangerous vice

    He has a lot of smart business people around him who seem to look out for his best interest. I even heard Floyd mentioned a few months back that he was still getting checks for the Mosley fight, so he should be aight

    Floyd will definitely be broke in 15 years... but not by the average Joe's standards. He'll always, be able to make money making appearances and signing autographs but in terms of being the multimillionaire he is today... I can almost guarantee he'll end up pissing that money away and continue spending money like its going out of style even after his hug boxing paydays go away

    Why would any grown man care? Do you run around scrutinizing if every man/woman driving a nice car in front of you will go broke in X time frame?

    FMJ is a Boxer. I enjoy the Boxing. What he does with his life is his business. I wish him the best the same that I wish ANY pro fighter. Knocks to the head and the complexities of choosing investments don't really go together well. At the end of the day they are working class guys. Just like half the morons caring about what they do with the Boxers do with their money. What is wrong with you girly-men?

    Here is a real stunner for you... If you are on a computer you own you are probably in the upper 10th percentile of the planet's population in wealth. The hilarity of it is that you morons will end up broke too. Spending all day minding someone else's business and little time minding your own. Go figure.

    In short Prolly.

    Betting a 100k to get 86k, that means he took a slight fave. 100k to him is like 1000 to get 860 and for normal people like me 100 to 86 dollars which is NOT a terrible odds to bet on Fave. Given that he won that shows that he does his homework btw just thought u should know.

    I'm not a Floyd hater, I'm a Floyd fan. I dont give a **** about what he spends his money on. I was just asking peoples opinions.
