According to an article written by Greg Leon of www.boxingtalk.com, the former pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr lost most of his money while dealing with a person named, Willie. Leon never produced a last name for Willie, but it’s a known fact that Leon has a direct connection with little Floyd, and the entire Mayweather camp.
Allegedly, Willie swindled so much money out of Mayweather that he was unable to pay taxes on his 2007 earnings. If this story is true, it’s amazing that little Floyd would still be walking around flashing hundreds, and waving his “filthy rich” bling that he hangs around his neck.
Leon also reports that Mayweather lost so much money that he came within inches of signing a 3 fight deal with boxing promoter Don King without consulting with his advisors Leonard Ellerbe and Al Haymon. According to the report, Haymon had to leave his sick mothers bedside and rush to block this deal from happening. Boxingtalk reported that Haymon gave Mayweather a substantial amount of money just to hold him off until payday.
Will Floyd Mayweather Jr be another athlete that would rise to financial freedom only to fall back to earth broke and owing the IRS countless amounts of money? This writer believes that money without humbleness equals doom. It happens all too frequently, people who attain gross amounts of money like to flash it around as if saying, “look at me, I got all this so what do you got?” Perhaps a piece of humble pie will do little Floyd some good, who knows.
