Now Floyd sounds like he knows he's going to lose

[gilgamesh]

Floyd has too much honor and integrity to throw a fight for $? You are saying it's 100% impossible for Floyd to throw this fight to pay off the IRS $25,000,000?

You realize he's making 4 times that guaranteed money right? He could pay off the IRS off of what he's already known to be making. He doesn't need any sort of shenanigans to get the money he needs. He's got it in the bank already for one thing, and even if he doesn't he's about to.

[Lackeos]

Like I've explained in another thread, the more that Mayweather downplays his own chances of victory, the more this fight will sell.

Also, I feel like Montrealsuper has created too many threads about the same fight.

Apparently, a lot of wealthy people play this tax game quite often. I heard they actually end up paying the IRS less than if they were to pay them on time. This is just what I've heard. I've not looked into it. So, if this is the case, Floyd is not hurting for money, he's just trying to keep as much of it as he can.

That's absolutely true. He paid 27 million in Taxes, the IRS want more. Not at all unusual for people with tons of assets and investments. It's odd how joyous people get when they think someone is in trouble.

How could he not pay off the IRS when he probably has over 300 mil?

He obviously does not have the money handy. If he did he'd have paid it.

Like McGregor yelled to Floyd's face: "You OWE money."

I can't decide if you are just really young, (a really young-type dumb) or an adult, who is just plain stupid. Not normally what I would call stupid, but box of rocks type stupid. I think the latter.

[Cloutov]

I know Mayweather will be to mich for mcgregor but what If Conor is better than we thought or Floyd aged in these two years... we might actually have a fight. My brain is telling me there is no way Conor win s this but all this stuff with Malignaggi made me wonder if we are not throwing the dice to fast

Honour, No.

Ego, yes.

He would likely be able to pay the IRS tomorrow if he wanted. People with money put of paying tax for as long as possible and ask for extra time consistently.

[diddy]

It takes a special kind of idiot to buy this BS Floyd is selling. He's fighting a guy with zero pro fights. He knows many people think this is a joke event and won't buy it. The only way to sway them is to pretend he's old and shot. He's pulling the old okey doke. Don't be a sheep. Christ. People are so dumb.

[caldo2025]

What if this is really the epic mismatch that all of the smart people think that it will be? What do you think the reaction worldwide will be the next morning? If Floyd knocks CM out in first round and CM doesn't land one punch, I think that fans will crucify Floyd for it. I think that Floyd has to take a chance in this one to make it entertaining. Or does he want to get him out of there as soon as possible and deal with it. This could go horribly wrong for all parties if it's not at least a little entertaining.

[Roars Like Me]

It's not impossible that Floyd gets injured teeing off on Conor's big hard napper. Especially if they get the lighter gloves, that would even it out. A broken hand for Floyd in the 1st couple of rounds. Would Floyd carry on or lose the "0" with an injury for a rematch? Far fetched stuff I know but he's old an this has the feel of WWE about it anyway.

It's possible that I might bump into Eva Mendes on the way home, and that she will blow me off in the train toilet cubicle.

It's possible, but is it probable, absofuckinglutely not.

One thing you can bet your mortgage on, Mayweather does not care one bit what fans, media or anyone else thinks. He'll do whatever he needs to

Why should he care at this point?
He's retired and is making a record payday. He can laugh all the way to the bank

Not necessarily true at all. Just ask our president.

Montreal is praying Mayweather loses.

But I give Montreal some credit. He does know the only way Floyd loses is if he dives.

He will do whatever he needs to do to get that payday to pay the IRS. How do we know White and McGregor told Floyd, "We are your only hope to pay the IRS. You gotta dance to our tune, boy. You dive on Aug 26." How do we know White and McGregor didn't negotiate a dive out of Floyd???

LOL. It would be nice to see Floyd in a real fight and lose. No doubt about that. We've never really seen Floyd in a real fight on a level playing field. It's always been rigged in one way or another for Floyd. Actually one two three or four ways sometimes.

I certainly don't agree with all of your Mayweather assessments but I agree with some of them. He's a great fighter but a jerk outside of the ring. I have no problem with the Ortiz fight. If Ortiz wanted to talk and hug there are other times for that. LOL.

The only fight I saw for Mayweather is GGG. Maybe @ 154. If Mayweather had lost (I can say had because the fight ain't happening) it would certainly have been no disgrace, but as I will tell anyone who will listen, FM has no interest in risk or entertaining fans.

I wonder if Tyson had the same deal with Douglas?

He doesn't really need to care. He is what he is. One thing I will say is that history favours warriors, attacking fighters, risk takers. Floyd could have been remembered greater than what he will.

His legacy will grow in stature with time. The hate he built his fortune with will subside and people will just be looking at his record.

I think intome he'll be appreciated more, but I think his record will forever have questions due to the way he's matched himself, certainly from 140 up
