The news started a week ago but there was really no real information about it, most of the speculation only comes from Tank Davis since Tank is talking to someone who was with Floyd in Saudi and the information Tank gives sounds a lot worse. According to some other reports, Floyd is held by the Saudi Government but he can go somewhere else in the country but not fly his private jet.

Just to have a simple discussion, the Saudi government allow a few people to gamble and invite Floyd? Just one of the things we don't know, peasants could get hanged in public if they gambled and were caught.

Why does he media sound like they are trying to get Floyd Mayweather by all means. First, the headline and the message doesn't sound like a news headline, this is sounding like some part who hate him so much and the minute they got the detail about his arrest, they were quick to spread it like usual but I know man is coming out strongly, he is not the first and he will not be the last, who knows the media is even hyping it the amount for views.

Come to think of it, why wait for a whole years for him to accumulate millions of debts and them decide to nab him when everything is now pile up, why not ask when everything isn't upto half the original amount, why not sue him before now. Something isn't adding up here if you ask me.

Floys isnt able to pay his bill or debt - that sounds fake. I will never believe that he isnt able to pay a debt, but I can believe in him being greedy and simply not wanting to pay what he owes Cheesy

Ive seen celebrities acting like everyone owes them and they can take and get everything for free. For example going to restaurant, eating and walking away without paying. Because it was an honour for restaurant owner to feed them. I assume something similar happened with Floyd.

I am subscribed to many popular sports channels like DAZN and Sky Sports boxing and groups about boxing, but this one never came out. I found out it's based on Vloggers who just want to make viral videos to monetize. This kind of news will harm Floyd Mayweather, and I prefer not to believe it unless it's covered by the sports media and personalities I'm following.

But if this is true, Floyd Mayweather can solve this issue. He has huge money and can easily make more money by just doing an exhibition; he has a coming exhibition match against Pacquiao, and this alone can make a lot of money for Floyd Mayweather.
Whatever the truth on this matter, it will come Floyd only needs to make an announcement it seems he has many haters like Gervonta.

This is old news. Floyd was already released several weeks ago. I don’t think his detention had anything to do with gambling debts. The YouTube channel you linked to is full of fake stories. A lot of that channel's recent videos have photoshopped thumbnails of Floyd in a jumpsuit and have the most sensational titles which are completely made up. Floyd is not in prison, he was just in LA giving away thousands of dollars to homeless people. As crazy as it sounds, that story is actually true. https://www.tmz.com/2024/05/02/floyd-mayweather-gifts-homeless-men-money-before-clippers-mavs-nba-playoff-game/

When it comes from vloggers and not from popular media channels, expect additional hype or fake news to make the video go viral. This is where vloggers make a lot of money thriving on creating speculation based on he says, she says.

I cannot find a video or an article from his official spokesperson about this issue; the video even mentioned the $100 million is a settlement from what he has done to a woman and to avoid legal problems in UAE.
But that article from TMZ has proof that he is already out, and there's a tweet from one player that he is watching their game.

I hope the truth will come out, but before that happens many vloggers will take this opportunity to create fake news to make money from what Gervonta posted.

That article where Floyd gave $30k to a homeless person was 3 weeks ago. This news was just 2 weeks I think. They are saying Floyd is still in Dubai. Not really sure about the truth but nothing is being said in the news where Floyd is but in Dubai still. By now, there should have been a reaction video of Floyd about Usyk vs Fury fight but none has circulated.

Floyd is an attention grabber, he will say something as long as he gets a camera on him, but nothing so far. People will ask him reaction of of Usyk vs Fury, people care about his opinion as this guy is undefeated skilled boxer.

According to various posts on the internet, he has a net worth of at least $400 million, so being unable to pay $100 million seems strange. If the news is true, he just needs to sell some of his mansions and other assets, so it shouldn't be a big problem. FYI, he earned $300 million fighting McGregor in 2018 and more than $1 billion in his entire career.

Regarding gambling in Saudi Arabia, perhaps he played with oil kingpins. Since he is a U.S. citizen, there's little chance of him getting punished.

That's a lot of money but he gambles on his will so he need to pay that amount. With his net worth, that's 25% less, that would hurt. Probably Floyd came not bringing huge money as he is expecting to win, and in the middle of gambling things got heated on him and bet a huge amount, as a result he owed $100 million, that's just my speculation though, but regardless, if this news is really true, then he needs to pay as he is capable of paying.

The truth is that this type of News usually Impacts us a lot , because he is a world Star ,

And how did it impact you "a lot", you went to the hospital because you had a heart attack because of that? You got fired from your job because Floyd is a gambler? Did your plane crash?
What impact do you talk about, he's a just a celebrity like 1000 more, we are 9 billions on this earth, I'm pretty sure yeah, people in Ukraine and Palestine or Myanmar are for sure "affected' by those news, suddenly their life changed! /s

Quote from: Slow death on May 18, 2024, 02:10:16 PM

I have no doubt that we are facing fake news, a guy like Floyd Mayweather would not be playing in a casino to the point of losing a lot of money, he must have financial advisors who give him advice and these advisors would not allow him to play with a lot of money,

Leaving that aside, what casino would give a $100 million credit line to somebody and only at exactly 100 million would start asking for money? Grin

And how would they even give him that loan, just verbal stuff? Promises on twitter? with no contract for a sum that is more than what most casinos make in profit over a year?

It does not matter if this is an old news or not. What is interesting about the is that our celebrities have a gambling problem. Well some are known others are hidden from the public. Or at least for now I know of Micheal Jordan problem I also know of drake's gambling problem. I cannot categorically tell if they are struggling with gambling addiction, however what is clear is that there is a problem they have with gambling.

It's actually very common that these sports stars are gambling addicts. Most of them are competition junkies so when they leave the sport they played their whole lives they need the action to fulfill that part of their adrenaline rush. Those are some of the noted ones but most actually are gambling fiends.

Although this news has been debunked, it does not take away the truth from what you have said.

Sports stars are prone to gambling, so during or close to their retirement years, there should be rehabilitation programs set up for them to help them not turn into addicted gamblers that will gamble away all their fortune.

They didn’t learn the lesson yet from several sports starts especially with Mike Tyson when he went bankrupt because of spending recklessly, well if there’s too much hype they might be push to gamble more. These boxers are trying to live on a big hype and yeah spending a lot of money to gambling, which I think is too alarming considering they all have the money to hire accountant and also financial manager, hope Floyd will not ended up into a big mess, gambling is not good at all.

Still matter though, I mean why would someone brought it up? It's because they want views and clicks and most it could be fake because as others have pointed out, Floyd is rich and like Dana White who admitted that he has gambling addiction, they can do anything with their money to begin with.

Of course it just shows that everyone could really fall into gambling addiction, sport personalities and average joe. But what's this people got that we don't have is that they have more money to gamble and they are in the spotlight and so there could be several individuals who are going to take advantage of their gambling and post it in their social media. I check Tank Davis Twitter account and I don't see him saying anything about Floyd's gambling.

He's known and popular on world of boxing but we do know that when it comes on how to spend their money or their millions then its none of our business on how they would really be doing it.
It would really be impossible that they wont really be thinking about their reputation or image towards their fans or boxing or into the world. Well, they do have the money that they could spend through gambling
and just like with other those sports legends who do become a gambler and spend out tons of millions on losing it out but still that not messing up their image with and people do still accept them.

In this case then we do know that Mayweather is a rich man due to his accomplishments and he might really just that tending to spend up his fortune on playing gambling
Debts? We cant tell whether he would be easily be able to repay those amounts or totally that he had been wrecked by it... No one really knows.

I’m a bit confused, which should we believe? Was he really detained due to his gambling debt or his this just a rumor?

This is the first time I’m hearing this - usually news like this are quick to spread around the internet (if it was confirmed to be true) but nothing has been heard concerning this so should we assume that it was just a rumor? The only thing I saw online when I search for this news was that - everything started with Dave but later on, the news was debunked.

It is said that the Saudis detained Floyd due to gambling debt. While we assume this country doesn't allow gambling, the report says that this casino is an invite-only for high rollers and that Floyd "Money" Mayweather is possibly in debt of $100M and he ain't going home until he settles the amount. I think he has already broken the record for the biggest gambling losses that celebrities have made. Mike Jordan and Tiger Woods's loss is nothing.

Most of this news fascinates me on how someone will blow such an amount because of gambling. I don't know how much he is worth but it might be a small money for them. Many of these celebrities make much money from endorsements and other businesses. But these celebrities should know that they have a peak period where money comes from all directions. A time might come when they might not make so much money. This is why they have to save and invest for the future.

Quote

Just to have a simple discussion, the Saudi government allow a few people to gamble and invite Floyd? Just one of the things we don't know, peasants could get hanged in public if they gambled and were caught.

I thought these nations prohibited gambling because it is a sin based on some religious beliefs. But they are making money from VIP gambling. The law only affects the poor but the rich have uncommon privileges. This behaviour reminds me of the government of my country where the influential are above the law.

I have no doubt that we are facing fake news, a guy like Floyd Mayweather would not be playing in a casino to the point of losing a lot of money, he must have financial advisors who give him advice and these advisors would not allow him to play with a lot of money, very Rich people like Floyd Mayweather are people who spend time taking good care of their money, they like to earn more money and see their fortune increasing a lot, they wouldn't take the high risk of playing with millions of dollars in casinos and losing 25% of their fortune. , we just need to see that these guys are even pursuing exhibition fights or are being sponsored by many companies, because they like to make money.

Another point is that they are very busy, there is a lot to have fun with, they would hardly focus on gambling alone, and anyone who loses 100 million dollars is someone who is extremely addicted, then this is fake news. look at how many companies he is involved in, just look at his Instagram account, it is clear that the guy would not be irresponsible to the point of gambling and losing 100 million dollars in a casino, he is a businessman and has managers and financial advisors. I honestly don't understand what the person who keeps spreading fake news gains

Practicing non-religious practices is allowed in Saudi as long as it's done in private but operating a casino is strictly prohibited and there is no freedom and protection from the government which restricts betting and gambling for all the residents irrespective of their nationalities and religious beliefs but I am not sure this is from the Saudi government or the one who he has to pay the debt because if government involved then there will be prison time for sure and he won't be allowed to roam around the nation.

No matter how rich or wealthy that you are, if you don't control your gambling activities, it will lead to addiction just like what Mayweather is in now. I will say that addiction has eaten him up for him to gamble in another country incurring a debt. Perhaps, no one knows how much the debt is, but a gambler must have lost a huge amount of money before he will think of gambling in debt. Who knows how much Mayweather lost in the casino before he started to gamble without funds. He can pay up his bills, but I don't think that it is an amount that he can afford to lose. Gamble responsible, and don't allow gamble take all that you have toil for within some hours.

we peasants do not have the same privilege as these richy rich people, governments are extreme hypocrites when it comes to things like this so it won't be a surprise if Floyd gets an invite for a high roller gambling, it's disgusting but not much can be done(yet). anyway, "getting hanged"(not sure if you are using it as a metaphor or something) is a bit much, but as far as I know, people who are caught gambling in UAE could get fined and get jailed for 3 years(I think)

We do know that laws or regulations could be bend out temporarily specially if we do speak or talks about big money on here or simply they would really be able to benefit it out.
It did really just turned out that Mayweather ends up on being that unlucky on the moment that he do play. $100M is indeed a huge loss but thinking up on how rich this man is then
i dont see for it to be an issue but it is really just that quite surprising that he had let these informations to leak out considering this could really tarnish out his good image but well
we dont know if this was an intentional or not but one things for sure that this amount isnt something that could be paid up easily.

Speaking about gambling losses then this is something that pertains that it could really be something that cost you tons. It would be normal that they would be holding
you to go home until you do get paid. Grin
