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.
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)

I did not see anywhere that says he is in gambling dept of $100 million. I only saw $$$$ and the amount was not stated. Where did you see $100 million?
Well OP stated it:
Floyd "Money" Mayweather is possibly in debt of $100M

LoL anyway, I missed the Dubai = Saudi. It's in UAE. No chance of detaining and stuff since UAE basically is a US puppet.

I am not a follower of Floyd Mayweather nor even a fan, but if this is true, then my thoughts about him was true. He has no control over his wealth as he always showboat and spends with stuff lavishly.
Gambling is not a common thing for people who owns a lot of money and is retired a found himself with nothing else more to do.
But, Floyd at his 50's is still young to give up his life with such gambling addiction.
Again I'm not sure if none of these are true, but I think Mayweather is someone who owns a lot of money and most likely not gonna ran out even if he's got carried away with his gambling habits.

These news seems to be fake and not true, Mayweather himself denied all this and a big beef just started against Gervonta Davis who posted the news about him just to create disturbing news and start a hate between them for unknown reasons, however, Mayweather himself also did the same and claimed that the next fight of Davis is canceled, he posted that on his Instagram with an image.
I wouldn’t believe such news as well, logically the fighter has a good reputation and I think he is smarter to be in a such position, $100m is a number that Mayweather can pay back easily and get rid of all bad news against, that’s why I also found it hard to believe this story.
These are some of the news:

Quote
Initially, it was Davis who claimed that Mayweather was being detained in Dubai over unpaid debts. Boxing insider Rick Glaser supported these claims, saying Mayweather's non-payment issues were preventing him from leaving the UAE. However, these reports were later debunked.

Quote
Recently, Mayweather spread a rumor by announcing that Davis's upcoming fight with Frank Martin had been canceled, posting an image of the event poster marked "canceled."

It is said that the Saudis detained Floyd due to gambling debt.

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.

Pretty hard to take this story seriously when Dubai is not in Saudi Arabia but in the United Arab Emirates Cheesy
Also have you ever heard of a government arresting a person over debts with a private entity before a civil lawsuit happening between them?
It's not tax evasion, it's IOU checks to a casino, without a court order nobody would ever act, no matter what country that is!

I do find it weird that for a country that expressly prohibits gambling, there seems to be a gambling establishment on that country itself. I find that really sketchy given that their religion expressly prohibits gambling and they are very stringent with its application, implementation, and execution.
If this is true, then it fuels the notion that las are means for the poor and peasant people and the rich are always immune to the law as seen everywhere. I can almost never imagine that this kind of report can come from a country as strict as Dubai. Well, everything is possible under the sun.

I've seen this news earlier but ignored it as one that lacked merit, but seeing it here again made me research on the topic to know if there are facts to prove his indulgence, but found none. This kind of buzz can't be going online without him being someone linked to the activity or someone trying to pull some big stunt. Gush!, the amount is huge, could mean a heavy blow to his $450 million net worth, celebrities are sometimes very careless with their decisions and possibly lands themselves into shits most times.

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.
I did not see anywhere that says he is in gambling dept of $100 million. I only saw $$$$ and the amount was not stated. Where did you see $100 million?

That is not a small amount of money. $100 million is too much enough to be used for a business. This is an addiction that I am seeing in the man if true.

Floyd Mayweather is an influencial personality and it is not new that boxing involves more of gambling both the boxers and their fans majority of them are gamblers and they risks both money and assets sometimes for stakes so I'm not surprised that he is owing such a huge debt as a result of gambling but Floyd Mayweather is a Rich boxer so paying off that huge amount may not actually be a problem for him but seems like he just want the Media to have something so say IMO.

If the Saudi government placed restrictions on gambling it should cut across a nook's and cranny instead of giving some big boys the privilege to gamble and frown at others who are not influencial and to be frank the Saudi government is being biased.

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.

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/

Hmm this would be all over the internet is this were to be true given that Floyd has lots of money due to his winnings and sponsorships. Though that may be the case, a millionaire can quickly lose their money especially if they burn high rates at a given casino.

I do find it weird that for a country that expressly prohibits gambling, there seems to be a gambling establishment on that country itself. I find that really sketchy given that their religion expressly prohibits gambling and they are very stringent with its application, implementation, and execution.

With all that being said, I do think that this rumour is false given the conflicting facts and nature. Though there is still that possibility that it may be true, I still think otherwise that this is one of those seemingly impossible situations to happen.

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.

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.

Yes gambling,drugs,killings get you hanged in the city square in Saudi but apparently they are making some exceptions whenever there are celebrities and high profile individuals from other countries as long as they are not Muslims I assume.I never saw any Muslim person to be let gambling in Saudi Arabia while other religions are permitted and I think it is all about the money,as long as the state gets money in without risking their nationals they welcome them in such type of "casinos" and this is totally against the law there,this Floyd guy has the right to call them to trial if justice works there,as they have broken their own rules  Grin by allowing gambling to happen which is strictly prohibited in their religion.
