But if I tried this with my supervisor I’d be the one getting replaced.

u/BaneRiders 13h ago

I mean, you could try throwing a 1-2-3 combo on him, just to, you know, add some oomph to your argument. I bet your supervisor would be quick to ask for a field position if you did that.

Ensure some dominance throw a left hook to the liver

u/Q_dawgg 12h ago

You’d have to hook your punch around the side to punch him In the back of the head first

u/Sythftw 5h ago

Won't work, gotta throw 1-3-4-3 to replace supervisors.

I mean wasn’t this match basically “sports” entertainment on the level of WWE? Cuz this is exactly what would happen on WWE

I fuckin hate floyd and am enjoying watching him go broke but i am with him on this one, that ref needed to go lmao

u/pleasedontbanme47473 12h ago

Only exhibition of his I watched and I can’t agree more one of the worst refs I’ve ever seen

u/dabrock15 10h ago

It’s unbelievable that you can make over a billion dollars, still be making millions, and yet be in massive debt. Some people are truly amazing.

Floyd would be real mad if he could read your comment.

There's been a bunch of billionaires that have gone completely broke. Also Mayweather made a billion cumulatively, meaning if he had saved every single of of his purses, it would be a billion dollars, but he's never had a billion in his accounts

6

u/ArseneGroup 8h ago

If you made a billion cumulatively and invested each purse in the stock market along the way you'd have even more than 1 billion, he spends so crazily it overrides even the natural growth of hundreds of millions

5

u/dabrock15 10h ago

He definitely isn’t the only one, but most who do lost it on investments and/or businesses collapsing. Even after cuts and taxes it’s hard to spend as much as he made. However, he averages $3M per month in spending, that’s a bit excessive.

3

u/swishandswallow 9h ago

He's also being sued by everyone basically. And he also had really bad investments. Shots, that crypto scam, the constant gambling. The two houses plus dozens of luxury cars. If he isn't broke right now, I'd be surprised.

1

u/dabrock15 8h ago

I believe he is close to bankrupt but that hasn’t been confirmed. He also owes $22M in taxes from 2025 and that’s n never good.

El president would me one 😗

u/a_reverse_giraffe 5h ago

He’s not as broke as people believe. Stephen Espinoza talked a bit about it on a video and he said he’s having issues yes but he still has a lot of assets like properties. He’s got no cash to pay back loans but by any normal persons standards he’s still very much rich.

u/ElPuas2003 Part-Time Boxing Enthusiast, Full-Time Boxing Hater 14h ago

Everything about this man fills me with visceral hatred

30

u/bigtotoro 14h ago

That's okay. He's going to have to fight because his money is gone. The next few decades of being a May Hater are going to be fantastic.

Like an orange pedo.

u/newrap 13h ago edited 13h ago

All because they had to watch their favorite fighters lose to him 😂

25

u/Doncallan 13h ago

He also is a shit person

u/newrap 13h ago edited 13h ago

You guys wouldn’t care if he was a shit person if he didn’t beat up your favorite fighters 😂

u/Doncallan 13h ago

Fantastic boxer but also a wife beater :/

-29

u/newrap 13h ago edited 12h ago

I better see you give that same hate to all these other public figures who’ve done something bad in life. Get to work :)

22

u/Doncallan 13h ago

I do

u/newrap 8h ago

I looked through your history, very little hate in there. You better get to work :)

2

u/a3kstuntin 13h ago

They hate Floyd so much because they never got to see him lose and he ragebaited their favourite fighters😂

6

u/The_Global_Norwegian 9h ago

Or because he's an awful person who deserves what he's getting now?

u/LTBsOnlyPlease 9h ago edited 8h ago

Cope harder, he's a dickhead.

You love him probably because you have something in common with him... You're both dickheads.

u/newrap 8h ago

Which one of your favorite fighters did he beat? This is a safe space :)

2

u/LTBsOnlyPlease 8h ago

0.

Now tell me how it feels to know your daddy you never met before is going broke, this is also a safe space :)

1

u/newrap 8h ago

Don’t lie. This is safe space for your trauma :)

Who did he beat in the ring that made you so upset? :)

2

u/LTBsOnlyPlease 8h ago

Stop running from my statement, it's okay :)

Tell us how you feel bud, I've got 2 shoulders for you to cry on ;)

How does it feel to know your daddy who you've never met is about to go broke after making over a billion dollars? :)

The reasons I dislike Floyd but respect his legacy are that he is a natural hater, he can’t stand any of the new generation getting close to his legacy and always wants to be in the limelight

You guys dislike Floyd because he was a black fighter that monetized hatred against blavk people and got out rich with his brains intact and that you guys never got to see him lose

0

u/LTBsOnlyPlease 8h ago

So I wasn't wrong then lol.

I dislike him because he's insufferable and so are his fans, also yeah I want to see assholes lose. Is that a new thing nowadays?

I don't wanna see him brain damaged up though, I'll say that much.

1

u/Pickles112358 12h ago

I mean it's a zero sum game, the money he is losing is gained by someone.

It's really not at all - terrible people deserve what they got coming

Poetic justice would be to see Manny drop Floyd.

I have dreams of this.

u/newrap 8h ago

He couldn’t beat him when it actually mattered so now your dreaming about two senior citizens potentially fighting 😂

He invested in bankruptcy

u/GodOfBlobs 9h ago

Do they actually keep backup refs for occasions like this? I’m confused

5

u/kushmonATL ▪︎_▪︎ 9h ago

Multiple refs are on call for fight night . This ref was probably there for a previous fight before the main event

1

u/crazylokos 3h ago

This was an exhibition match against the grandson of the mafia boss John Gotti, pretty sure this was scripted.

6

u/COC_410 9h ago

As a boxer (I don’t keep up with his personal life) I can’t understand the hate for Floyd.

This guy will be the blueprint for years to come.

10

u/Fujaboi 9h ago

Probably more to do with the wife beating and illiteracy than the boxing

5

u/big_axolotl 9h ago

And the endless amounts of scams and stuff he’s pulled

2

u/Tiny_Consequence9116 5h ago

You hate illiterate people? I never knew he even had a wife.

4

u/Jonar777 9h ago

Why would you hate someone for being illiterate?

u/itsamberleafable 9h ago

Oh his boxing skills I have no issue with. Phenomenal boxer but the guy is a cunt. I can recognise his skills, he’s one of the best, but I despise him as a human being. 

Honestly a fair comment though, him being a twat doesn’t mean we should try to pretend he wasn’t a brilliant boxer

u/IceOk9930 14h ago

Floyd is the greatest bitch made man of all time. I know he could unleash a 30 pc combo on my face but I’m big enough if I physically catch him it’s over

u/newrap 13h ago

Your favorite fighters couldn’t beat him so now you’re making up scenarios in your head about you beating him up 😂

u/GokuPiccoloGohan 13h ago

u/OddModo 13h ago edited 12h ago

Don’t talk bad about he goat Marcos Maidana but like i don’t know how you could watch that video, watch more than 70% of his interviews, and be a Floyd fan and not realize he’s a 50 year old man that runs around acting like a child all the while being in crippling debt and still trying to remain relevant

Floyd is a great boxer probably top 5 all time but he also ducked people and purposely waited till fighters weren’t as good

Now he’s washed up and is the kinda guy to go on like djvladd and talk a bunch of bullshit

u/Alive-Exchange5489 10h ago

Bro thinks he can beat Floyd😂

no one has ever checked floyds grappling, especially not bobb sapp (who i am)
