How Floyd Mayweather shows off his money

[kage69]

Mayweather's not crazy.

Nope, he's just a jock with a double digit IQ.

While I respect his achievements in the ring and think it's great he takes being a dad seriously (something not all athletes do), being an ostentatious ass who can barely read makes me feel sorry for him.

The car thing makes me wonder if the poor guy is hung like a lightswitch too. Compensating for anything there buddy?

Boxing has jumped the shark though, the good ol days are gone. UFC and others have been eating it's lunch for awhile now. Hey Floyd, want to really impress people? Get in the ring with Conor McGregor.

He's going to be fine on the investment front. Plus, idiots would pay millions to see him come out of retirement as well. Look at how many idiots bought the Wackiao fight.

Then people bought the Berto fight. Granted they are saying under 1 million, but even 1 is too many.

 

[Newell Steamer]

Good for him.

He has literally busted his ass to earn it. His skills are tangible - not boardroom buffoonery with smoke and mirrors.

 

[waggy]

He can't even spell investment...

spell it? he can't read it!

 

[OutHouse]

lol those banisters are not SOLID gold more like gold plated. even he doesn't have that much money and the supports for that banister is not even close to support that much weight and gold is too soft to build with.

Like any NFL player - he is destined to be broke as fuck in his later life with those types of expenses. God forbid you do something like build an investment portfolio just to insure that you are prepared for when you're old or crippled and can't do your UFC career any further.

I love this guy:

Why Is One Of The NBA's All-Time Greatest Scorers Working As A Crossing Guard Now?

Day after day, Adrian Dantley hangs out on a street corner in his hometown, like some cliché of a pitiful ex-ballplayer years after his athletic prime. But Dantley's neither a cliché, nor is he pitiful. He's a crossing guard.

The greatest 6-foot-5 post player in the history of the NBA now pulls morning and afternoon shifts at a busy intersection outside Eastern Middle School in Silver Spring, Md. The job, which he took at the beginning of this school year, earns him $14,685.50 a year, according to Montgomery County civil service records.

"He doesn't need the money," a Dantley associate tells me. The guard-forward was legendarily cheap during his long and fruitful NBA career, and he still lives nearby in a home he purchased in 1990 for $1.1 million, one that a former agent said "was virtually free and clear" of debt back in 1996.

"He's not going to just sit around," the associate continues, "and he just doesn't want to pay health insurance." Turns out that NBA veterans aren't provided health insurance by the league, not even all-timers like Dantley. Crossing guards in Montgomery County, however, are.

Mundy painted Dantley as fiscally prudent, telling the Washington Post that Dantley avoided extravagances and lived on "about $1,500 per month" during his NBA career.

On a recent morning I was sitting in a car at the intersection that Dantley guards, and just minutes before the first period bell was to ring, I saw him lunge in front of a running youngster, who was oblivious to everything but her own fear of tardiness, and keep the kid out of the path of a turning automobile. He went about this lifesaving task with all the effort he'd put into stopping Isaiah Thomas from driving to the basket or David Falk from touching a paycheck. It was as if the gods wanted me to know Dantley's not on anybody's dole.

Friends of Dantley are amused that he's taken a position that pays him less than 1/350th of the average annual income of an NBA player. But they aren't surprised that he took the job, or that he takes it seriously. "Adrian's cheap. But he's not going to take free money," says an associate. "That's not Adrian Dantley. No matter what the job is, he's gonna show up on time, and give other people shit if they show up late."

I think that I saw three Bugatti Veyrons parked next to each other in one of those shots. I could understand having two if you wanted to race a buddy, but THREE?

You wouldn't buy nice cars if you had hundreds of millions of dollars?

He'll crash and burn with that attitude eventually.

Reminds me of this guy.

OUISBURG, N.C. - At one point number 60, Jason Brown, was one of the best centers in the NFL.

At one point he had a five-year, $37 million contract with the St. Louis Rams.

And at one point he decided it was all meaningless - and just walked away from football.

"My agent told me, 'You're making the biggest mistake of your life,'" said Brown. "And I looked right back at him and I said, 'No I'm not. No I'm not.'"

So what could possibly trump the NFL?

You wouldn't believe.

Jason Brown quit football to be a plain, old farmer -- even though he'd never farmed a day a in his life.

Asked how he learned to even know what to do, Brown said:

"Get on the Internet. Watch Youtube videos."

He learned how to farm from Youtube.

Thanks to Youtube and some good advice from other farmers here in Louisburg, N.C., this week Jason finished harvesting his first, a five-acre plot of sweet potatoes.

"When you see them pop up out of the ground, man, it's the most beautiful thing you could ever see," said Brown. He said he has never felt more successful.

"Not in man's standards," said Brown. "But in God's eyes."

But God cares about the NFL, right? There are people praying to him on the field all the time.

"Yeah, there's a lot of people praying out there," said Brown. "But, when I think about a life of greatness, I think about a life of service."

Jason Brown tends to his fields in Louisburg, N.C. CBS NEWS
See, his plan for this farm, which he calls "First Fruits Farm," is to donate the first fruits of every harvest to food pantries. Today it's all five acres--100,000 pounds--of sweet potatoes.

"It's unusual for a grower to grow a crop just to give away," said Rebecca Page, who organizes food collection for the needy. "And that's what Jason has done. And he's planning to do more next year."

Brown has 1,000 acres here, which could go a long way toward eliminating hunger in this neck of North Carolina.

"Love is the most wonderful currency that you can give anyone," said Brown.

"Are you sure you played in the NFL?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Because I feel like cuddling you right now."

"Don't do that!" he said.

Brown may have left the NFL, but apparently holding is still a penalty.

I would pay $100 to see mayweather fight conor mcgregor in the octagon.

Makes as much sense as mcgregor boxing mayweather. He isn't a MMA.

It's easier to just hate then look into his investments.

The only people who are upset about the "Wackiao" right are people who are morons and hadn't watched a boxing match. And, the fight wasn't bad because Mayweather played his defensive, counter punching style. It was boring because Manny didn't fight how he fought in pretty much every other fight in his career. He generally had a smothering offense, and he didn't do that. He played into the game plan of a near perfect boxer and SURPRISE! he got outboxed.

Mayweather has all his money because he isn't a moron when it comes to money. You think because he spends $10 million he is going to go broke? Not even close.

 

[MongGrel]

He owns the promotions company that handled his own fights. He has a bunch of other boxers under the same company. He'll be making money the rest of his life.

Yep, he learned from Tyson and did it right.

Not that I would have ever paid to watch one of his fights.
