i think he does the same with nike white air force ones - there was a video of him in his closet with like 50 boxes and he said he only wears them once. am guessing the same applies to socks etc

damn - my boyo Jack Nicholson did that in As Good as It Gets with fancy soap. a new bar every time he washed his hands

srs

i don't care how much money you have. that waste is immoral. i hate waste and try to never waste anything. i buy quality and keep it forever. i never throw food out if i can help it. i always clean my plate. i wear shoes and clothes for years. i take care of my stuff and keep it forever. i have a respect for money and my stuff. otherwise, it's a sin.

Yeah, but scale wise a pair of new Air Force 1s costs far, far, less for Floyd than a 50p pair of socks did for me. Fucker was pulling in $100m+ per "fight" towards the end.

The jet was a bit of a waste, but even then. Blowing through more than a billion is nuts. You could invest less than half of that and have more coming back at you than even the most extravagant cunts on earth could spend.

Look I really like floyd as a fighter but its the whole never meet your heroes thing, he was amazing in the ring and a genius as far as boxing IQ. He actually had some good business sense, he was good at self promotion and he was good signing with Al Haymond who got him lower percentage fees than other managers.... but half way with the business sense. The problem was he could barely read, like at a 3rd - 4th grade level, he dropped out of school, he is terrible with his money, he relies on placing trust in people to review his contracts as he can barely read. He spends money like crazy. All he had to do is put his money in the SP 500 and he would be a billionaire by now but hes a dumb ass.

The stories of him going broke are probably true, hes probably had some accountants review his shit as there are stories of him failing to make payments and he might be filing bankruptcy, they probably found inconsistencies and enough evidence to sue but who knows about that 175 million number, they probably massively inflated it and are hoping for a settlement

Michael jordan would only wear shoes once for each game but he got them free from nike and his explanation was it made each game feel special like a big event or like he was brand new each game, some kind of psychology to pump himself up to be the best.

I cant see doing it when youre retired though

Michael Jordan wearing a pair of shoes for a game massively increases their value though. I'd buy him a pair to wear during a fucking pickup game in the garden if I could put them on eBay after.

There's a whole thing around that actually. You can tell if someone's significant based on if a pair of shoes increases or decreases in value once they've worn them.

For his next fight his nickname will be Floyd "EBT" Mayweather

Floyd isn't stupid, he's ignorant.

The irony is that if you were to tell him that, he would probably get mad because he's too ignorant to know what ignorant actually means.

Sounds kinda like stupid

I don't know a lot but one thing I do know is that he'll kick your ass
