watching the pre maidana fight show floyd seems to think of himself as a modern hugh heffner surrounded by good looking women who lets face it are there to get what they can out of floyd they may not be straight up prostitutes but escourts at the least , i have to say that wouldn't make me happy he doesn't seem to have any friends only people that work for him .maybe it just for the show which wouldn't surprise me but he seems to have a lonely life ....
and why do some boxer need to have an entourage of hangers on around them robinson did ali did and tyson did why were they all so insurecure that they need people around them telling them how great they are ,this doesn't seem to happen in other sports just boxing ..

I wouldn't. I may well visit such women from time to time for the obvious but I wouldn't want them hanging around all the time, it would do my head in. Men who have female friends are always questionable IMO.

alot of it is show i would say
although i did comment to my son when we were watching the training segments that to have alot of people watching you train ect would help i reckon to keep the motivation going , seems to work for Floyd anyway.

same as that if i was single the odd night with 5 fit girls would be more than fun but i can't think of anything worse than being surrounded by women all the time , who you going to talk about sport and women to ...

Would I pay girls to hang round with me? No, there's no point. And I don't really see why Floyd did it either.

We all know why those women were there with Floyd, so it's not like it impresses anybody. We know they're being paid to appear and nobody is gullible enough to think their there because of they're love for him as a person. I wouldn't necessarily assume they are professional escorts, they may be models. But whatever they are, it's essentially Floyd footing the bill so the men at ringside can have something to look at. It serves no other purpose.

At least if he was hiring prostitutes, I could understand what he was getting out of it.

i put this in the british section as i thought if i did the C/S i'd get a different reaction ..

What reaction did you think you'd get in the Current Scene section?

the fat dude with the wonky eye must be his real mates

im sure he is one of his US AM team mates

Flys round shít

Floyd is delusional and lives in a world of his own creation.

He has no class whatsoever, and such conspicuous and pointless displays of wealth just bolster his clearly paper thing sense of self.

Some people are like that, not just superstars with the money to buy company but everyday people who can't be on their own for 1 hour without feeling uncomfortable.

I watched a bit of the preview shows but actually switched over when floyd was on After knowing the result Sunday morning I didn't bother watching what I recorded the night before. Floyd in my humble opinion is a massive c@£t. Like these rap stars bragging about money and women. What a prick. He done a public workout in my gym "peacock" and I went home before the twat arrived for some quality time on my own.no interest in the flash knob at all.be a happy day for me if he gets twatted

I wouldn't, no.

However, he is doing it as part of creating a brand.

And no one can argue it is not working, he is the highest paid sportsman in the world.

It doesn't impress sensible adults, but I bet it sure as hell impresses teenagers who purchase the PPV

The camera panned past about 3 buggatti veyrons, half a dozen white rolls, ferraris - all in cheesy white.

Then he tips out his box with vulgar diamond watches that looked like chandeliers, whilst cursing and coming across like a helmet.

James Bond suave he most definitely isn't !

You can't buy class

Mr Bond doesn't have to pay for the women either

He just forces himself upon them in a barn or gives them a slap first

that was old school Sean connery bond though

Questionable in what way?

He's got more money than God right now (100s and 100s of millions).... but I wonder if he could start to fritter it away once he hangs up his gloves, based on his super-extravagant tastes - and restlessness that will surely happen once he's shifting out of the public eye? I know he's likely to have some top notch financial advisers, but in the end, he makes his own decisions.

It would have to be some serious 'Brewster's Millions' style p*ssing away of money though, but if anyone's capable of doing it, it's Floyd.

175 million. Recently seeing a surge in his income thanks to movies like 'Noah' and the upcoming 'Exodus'. An appearance on next year's Celebrity Big Brother has also been rumoured - but his handlers are worried that his hypocritical ramblings and mood swings might damage his image in the public eye.

So if I go to vegas next year on my stag do, the only way to get in the mayweather gym(2 of us are boxing fans) will be to look like a model?

Damn thought I may be able to get one of those $50 tubs of Vaseline that bunch was on about.

Seriously the guy is flashier than Gordon gecko and Jordan Belford put together and it comes across as he is insecure. Why else have the need to have that many hangers on.

As I write sat on my own fixing someone's phoneline

One would think so, but I'm not so sure. Remember, to the best of my knowledge anyway, he only earns from his fights, he has no other income from sponsors etc, it was only from the De La Hoya fight he started earning tens of millions per fight. He blows so much cash on million dollar jewlery items, cars and all manner of extravagances, throw in his serious gambling addiction where he regularly bets in tens and hundreds of thousands at a time, the cost of his staff/entourage, his crazy day to day living costs etc, I bet he blows tens of millions per year. He may have a ton of assets, but cash at bank, I'm not so sure its in the hundreds of millions.

Who knows though, he may have made some canny investments with his dosh over the years, I would not have a clue about that.
