Y’all gotta stop saying shyt like this:russ:
Not every millionaire/billionaire lives by this..
And if they are not dressing up ostentatiously..
They are buying crazy, eccentric art pieces or some other shyt..
Everybody has a vice..
You just may never see it...

True but at least if you buying expensive rare art that's 5 million dollars plus, you can trade/sell that art and make money off it. A lot of art increases in value overtime as well. Still foolish to a broke nikka like me but at least it's still VALUE in it.

There's no value in an 18 million dollar "diamond" watch because those diamonds are atrifically marked up on price. Since it"s "flooded" in diamonds, dumb negros like Floyd think it's worth more and get duped. Realistically, a watch like that is probably worth less than a million dollars

nikkas really praying and hoping for Floyd to go broke:mjlol:

Type of muthafukkas are y'all:hhh:

With how Floyd came up, his upbringing, and how he had to grind his way to the top. Let him live

Dude took a $6 million buyout, bet on himself, and made himself into one of the world's richest athletes. He earned the right to buy whatever he damn please:stopitslime:

shyt Floyd still probably spending money from the Canelo fight he ain't going broke no time soon

I will never understand the purchase of astronomically overpriced jewelry (or clothes tbh). Art and real estate I can sort of get because those things generally appreciate in value over time, but watches, chains, etc? Foh. You can have Jeff Bezos type money and dropping 18mil on anything that ISN'T land or a highly coveted piece of artwork would still make no sense to me.

And no, obviously not all rich people dress bummy and live frugally (if that were true, there would BE NO high end/luxury goods industry) but at the same time most people with genuinely long/old money and generational wealth don't waste tens of millions on this type of bullshyt

You’re missing the point. I never said they don’t live lavishly, they’re mainly for the most part not ostentatious about it. That’s how New money acts. I’ll get called a hater but people who have to floss their wealth in that manner are usually insecure.

One of my friends is a CEO and we went out for lunch a while ago. Dude was dressed casually. No jewellery, no designer clothes, just a standard watch. He always told me he has no need to dress to impress because who the fukk is he trying to impress when he’s the CEO?

He's made close to a Billy on boxing alone and has numerous investments probably bringing him 5-10 mil a year minimum

He's managed by Al Haymon probably one of the best business men in America and he consorts with the Mark Cuban and Warren Buffets of the world. All probably of which put him on game.


Cuban and Buffet don't spend money on shyt that doesn't make a return on investment. That watch is the equivalent of a Trump Hotel gold plated toilet.

Real rich people get material shyt given to them. Or loaned to them for the optics.

If someone told me Floyd was a shill for products for the megarich-but-insecure, for which he received a form of compensarion, I'd believe it.

He has to impress investors.

If his output is so good, it speaks for itself so that he doesn't have to dress it up, he's right.

High end luxury goods are for whores and housewives.

And men with hobbies.

A diamond watch. Diamonds are for women. Floyd has a lot of women.

Finally, he made is way in the most competitive dangerous sport in the world. Where most black fighters throughout history have been swallowed up and killed.


Let him live. :obama:

What's funny is that the future value of the watch won't be in the jewels, but in the fact Floyd owned it. He doesn't benefit from that, the future owner of his memorabilia does.
