Mayweather is connected to people who are good at gambling. When he tosses down a few million on a game, rest assured those aren't "his" picks.
I don't know why we are even discussing Mayweather. What can he bankroll ... really ... like a 1/8 of the expense? Ellison is the fifth richest man in the ****ing world and Oprah's statement has a B in there as well. Mayweather can't sniff the air that those guys breathe so let's stop even pretending he's a player in this. Magic thinks he has a shot to get the team with the Guggenheim partners and maybe he does. Hell, I hope he does get the Clippers ... maybe then he'll STFU about what the Lakers should or shouldn't do.
Floyd Mayweather made a statement about owning the clippers just to give the impression that he has more money than he really does. Mayweather has less money than you think he has. Boxers ALWAYS have less money than you think they have. You wanna know why Manny Pacquiao will be still be fighting five years from now? Love of the sport? Something to prove? Wants to cement his legacy? Still has plenty in the tank? None of the above. Manny Pacquiao will be fighting five years from now because Manny Pacquiao is broke, and he'll never be unbroke. Mayweather doesn't overextend himself financially to the same extent Pacquiao does, but he still finds a way to spend a larger portion than you'd imagine.
I look forward to watching Pacquiao take savage beatings as he deteriorates further. Only watching Ray Leonard get pounded at the end of the line will have given me more joy.
Could you please explain how you know how much money I think he has? And then please state what that amount is. Thanks in advance.
Doesn't take an accountant to figure out a guy that regularly bets $100k on a weekend of football, has a huge entourage, and spends money like a drunken sailor might not have retained much of his earnings.
