(ThyBlackMan.com) It seems that the money man Floyd Mayweather Jr. is missing out on what he loves just as much as boxing, and that’s money. Yes he has netted $85 million dollars from whooping folks and knocking them out cold, but I realized one thing. I haven’t seen him in any endorsements to my knowledge, which ain’t much since I’m not a sports guru. But I have not seen Floyd Mayweather Jr. on a cereal box, in a Hanes commercial or even selling Luxury Buicks.
With all of the money that Floyd Mayweather Jr. has made, his raw athletic talent and his unique charisma he has yet to grab a hold of any multi-million dollar endorsement deals. I wonder why?
Maybe Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s past legal problems are blocking him from making a few more millions. Because we do know that a tarnished reputation
will keep advertisers away. Look at Tiger Woods and the scandal of his marriage. When news got out that he was a playa playa advertisements pulled out with the quickness and I still don’t believe that he’s fully recovered from that one.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. portrays himself to be the bad guy and he is very well known for flaunting his money. He’s been seen literally throwing money around as if they were pennies. But this bad boy image is what keeps people spending their money in order to see him knock somebody out on HBO. So would you stop portraying yourself as such? I don’t think I would.
Spending time behind bars does not help Floyd Mayweather Jr. either. How can we forget the time he spent in jail for domestic violence? We all know he had no business putting his hands on anyone other than another boxer in the ring.
Hell his hands are a deadly weapon. Am I right? Even with his talent Floyd Mayweather Jr. has issues just like the rest of us and obviously these issues are most likely being used against him. It seems that advertisers are not trying to have a person with a domestic violence charge on their box of cereal.
But I guess if I made 85 million I would not be concerned with having some endorsement thrown my way, especially when my name and presence alone brings in millions.
So until Floyd Mayweather Jr. goes into retirement for good maybe he should stick with what he knows best and that’s boxing.
Oh and while we’re on the topic of Floyd Mayweather Jr. did I mention that his fiancée Shantel Jackson may be cheating according to the rumor mill. I suppose they have this tit for tat thing going on since Floyd Mayweather Jr. has made it pretty clear that he loves to be with different women and lots of them. Supposedly he feels that he can be with as many women as he wants. Why? Because he’s Floyd Mayweather Jr., he’s filthy rich and he can pay for it.
So I guess Ms. Shantel says what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. It’s been reported by Mommy’s Dirty Little Secret that Shantel might have a side piece of her own in actress Vivica Fox’s former fiancé Omar Slim. Maybe Floyd Mayweather is getting his pay back.
See what 85 million can get you? For 85 million you too can have a woman that does not have a problem with you sleeping around. Floyd Mayweather Jr. may not have endorsement money, but he still has what so many men want. Money! Women! And mo money!
