Mayweather's best strategy to make money

[jtoler]

If he makes 400 mill on this fight he'll owe 200 mill in taxes for the year. Paying what you owe from previous years doesn't reduce your tax liability for the current year.

50% taxes? Knock it off.

[dlowilly]

I read he owes $22 million from '15, not $200. Where did you get the numbers?

Looking over the links I guess i was mistaken. Could have sworn they were saying before he owed around 200 million

[dlowilly]

50% taxes? Knock it off.

I was forgetting Nevada doesn't have state taxes. Even without that federal income taxes on 400 million would be $158,350,908. Then you have property taxes, sales tax, employer taxes, and all kinds of other taxes incurred from the lifestyle he leads. Might not quite equal 200 million but it sure is a lot more than the 10/20/30% or whatever amount nowhere near 50% you are insinuating

[RoyBacon]

Well if he is behind on 2015 then he is probably Way behind on 2016 due Oct 15th.(technically already due)

Btw, his tax rate would be a little over 40% with the Obamacare tax. Be funny if he voted for Hilary.

I'll be taking the same bet as always...Mayweather by decision. He will throw a few punches each round and play defense. Be as fresh as JJ Gold at a family reunion at the end of the fight.

[Thor4140]

I don't think it's ever been more obvious that Mayweather will lose this fight. He needs cash, plain and simple. Unless his strategy is to bet on himself and simply outlast McGregor for the win then his best move will be to take a dive. There's no way that I'd lay a penny on Mayweather.

Every fight of his the last five years i have heard this garbage. I guess eventually u will get one of these right if he doesn't retire. Stop it with this nonsense. If he wins this fight he could easily get another 100 mill to fight Crawford or if Triple G beats Canelo he could get 400 million. U guys should be banned from posting posting this nonsense every fuking fight of his.

Roy i guess this puts u in a corner. On one hand u have a rich black guy getting punished which u love but on another hand we all know that u are the head water boy carrier for billionaires, and we have this multi millionaire having to pay some taxes. How the hell u sleep at night with this problem?

[Thor4140]

Floyd should be fine. U guys who are worried about his bank account can now move on with your lives.

Mayweather does not have as much as many think

He is a dummy


Dummies go broke

[Sanity Check]

I understand that but an MMA match wouldn't affect his boxing record

Floyd losing in MMA could hurt his brand.

James Toney's career was over after he lost to Couture.

Then again, one might say the reason Toney fought in MMA was because he was desperate, couldn't find any opponents in boxing anyway.

50% taxes? Knock it off.

Manny Pacquiao avoids fighting in Vegas. He said taxes are too high.

That has to count for something.

I hope for your sake you at least understand what you type.

Yea I lose sleep because of Floyd's tax problem. And yea I bet on Mayweather because because I like to see rich black guys punished. With your logic and reasoning I can see why you were so in love with Hilary. Do you dress in black when you post too?

[GoGoGadget]

He's never fighting MMA, that's ridiculous.

He owns a lot of prime real estate here in Vegas that has gone up significantly in value. I wouldn't worry about him.

James Toney's boxing career as a top fighter was over long before he fought Couture. Pretty much after the loss to Jones, he was never the same guy. Toney's heavyweight stint was filled with bums and over the hill name fighters.

[plekz]

He cares about the money in your pocket, and how to get as much of it as he can and WINNING.

Toney called out the Klitschko brothers & big name heavyweights forever. Not one of them ever responded.

Toney was done after he tested positive for steroids. That's probably what did him in but losing in the UFC probably didn't help him out either.

Floyd retired twice.

Twice he filed for bankruptcy and was forced to make a comeback to pay off his debts.

If the fight with Conor falls through, I won't be surprised if Floyd files for bankruptcy a 3rd time.

[JIBBBY]

It's either gonna end up Mayweather by KO or Mayweather by Dec.. I think Connor gasses late slows down and then becomes a punching bag for Mayweather.. Might get dropped late by sheer volume of strikes landed by Mayweather.. I do think Mayweather will try to make a statement and finish if the opportunity to do so is there late..

Tough to bet either way as Mayweathers hands are focked and I know he won't have one punch knock out power on the larger, younger Connor McIrish...

Gut tells me don't bet it or take Mayweather by KO late or by decision props... This will be a Mayweather boxing clinic and make no mistake about that..

I also don't think Mayweather will take a dive because of bragging right and not wanting to tarnish his legacy and record.. I don't see a fix here on Mayweathers side..
