It’s no question Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a baller and is not afraid to flash his money everywhere he goes. This weekend, Floyd Mayweather was in Las Vegas playing a bit of blackjack. If you’re a multimillionaire like Mayweather, you will play 5 hands of $10,000 a piece at a time. Let me remind you a hand of black jack lasts about a minute or two. You do the math $50,000 x 60 mins = Floyd Mayweather.
Earlier this week, It was announced by Mayweather himself during an interview (see video), that he is planning on taking a few years off from boxing. As we all know, Mayweather likes to talk a lot so it’s hard to determine if this is a publicity stunt or not.
Top Rank’s head Bob Arum thinks it could be both.
“I’m used to Floyd saying a lot of things like that. Floyd says a lot of things and I choose to believe differently,” Arum told Michael Marley of The Examiner.
The Pacquiao-Mayweather fight, which could earn them $40 million each, almost took place last March until Mayweather sought a blood testing procedure which Pacquiao did not agree with. Floyd Mayweather Sr. has been stating over and over “my son will never fight Manny Pacquiao,” or the earlier quote “If it were me, I would tell my son not to take this fight (against Manny Pacquiao)”.
So it has been stated from the beginning, Floyd Mayweather Jr has never had any intention to face Pacquiao. It seems Mayweather’s precious “O” is more valuable to him considering he is leaving $40 million on the table.
It could have been just spur of the moment Mayweather saying he was taking a year or two years off. I’m sure if it is true, he will make that statement in the proper way which is to put out a press release
