Topic: Floyd Mayweather detained in Dubai due to gambling debts? (Read 388 times)
No matter how rich a person is if they become addicted to the casino, the money will run out quickly. He may have borrowed too much and was arrested because he could not pay it back. While Mayweather is known for his lavish lifestyle and flaunting his wealth on social media, it's important to note that his wealth is largely a product of his boxing success rather than seeking attention.
Though that may be the case, a millionaire can quickly lose their money especially if they burn high rates at a given casino.
I have always been curious how these millionaires, billionaires even, lose this much money just from gambling. Did they bet on their money one time, big time and lost? Or was it the accumulation of all the betting they did?Just take a look at Bruno Mars. Household name, loved and adored by many and most importantly an extremely rich person now on a gambling debt of a $50 million usd. It’s insane to think but most of them can pay it back anyway. Rich people and their extravagant lifestyle are so incredibly interesting.
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.
That is because the law for the rich and the poor or normal citizen is totally different. We do get this a lot from different countries even if Saudi is strict for their laws and religious matters. There can always be an exception about it.
Anyway, has this already been said to be real? because Floyd from his alias as Money definitely can pay anything he wants to.
Floyd is indeed rich. $500M is probably nothing for him but he is in another country. Those oil kingpins are richer than him. It's different when you're in another country, crazy why there is no media coverage about this issue about him. I can think of the worse that happened already like he was being raped by a bearded guy over there while the camera is focused on his dick and his face. And then demand he pay double or else release the video.
Something is happening and he isn't found elsewhere and no video appearance despite the biggest fight Usyk vs Fury happened in there.
I can't imagine those moments that you said. Because it's true that there have been cases about that those men from there really will rape even a guy without a beard.
I've read headlines about that and maybe the media is protecting Floyd with that and that's why no news about this if this is for real.

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 
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 think that can be true too because I think the guy seems not active in the boxing scene anymore which can earn him lot of money and even if we say that he is still active, the money that he borrowed can also be very huge, for him to struggle paying it. Much more if he got addicted to gambling because all or most of this money are only going to it. 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.If it was only a dinner or something in a resto, etc... it might not be a very big deal but we are talking about debts here and celebrities won't just borrow a small amount as it doesn't make sense because they can only earned it easily. If I'm a celebrity I will still show a respect to everyone and I can even pay more or donate my money.
I would have given the source the benefit of the doubt on Floyd losing some bets but being held by the Saudi Government? That's what I find all cap. I was thinking Floyd's money transfer was just taking time to clear that's why he wasn't allowed by the owner of the private casino to leave.
Then his nickname "Money" should be replaced by "Debt", just kidding.
It's just a rumor, i read an article contradicting this story where Maywether donated $30k as charitable deed, its only Davis who spreading the rumors, next time we can see is a lawsuit of libel agaisnt him (Davis) if Maywether will do.

I doubt of this, he won't be "Money" Mayweather for nothing. He's a rich athlete and not to mention big company sponsors and his advertisements which is enough for him to live his life to the fullest. He'd be able to pay this debt of him if this is true. Well yes, many celebrities and personalities have been involved with isrresponsible gambling patterns but that's because they have the money. They know how much theit networth is, which gives them the courage to bet big amounts like with Drake's controversial bets on the NBA and Boxing matches. I don't really invest that much time on such news because if I would be comparing myself to them, it won't make any sense due to differences with financial capacity and risk appetite. But the idea is there, which is to control your betting pattern and avoid betting that much however, that's something we all knew right from the start of our gambling careers.
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.
Most likely if you have lots and lots of money and you already bought everything available in this world to buy, you start to give less care about where you spend your money again and since celebrities don't have much interest in going to some financial education, they are always fallen to such kind of habit where most of their friends in behind the curtain are also doing it and as we can see right now, more of them are now exposed and also this is a warning from other celebrities if they don't spend their money on something beneficial, they will end up wasting it just like these guys.
...
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
by allowing gambling to happen which is strictly prohibited in their religion.That's right, from what I heard, some of the rules that apply in Saudi Arabia can be set aside when you have a big influence or are a famous person, for example Cristiano Ronaldo, he is still not married to his girlfriend even though in Saudi Arabia sharing a house without marriage is prohibited, to be honest When I read the news that OP presented, I was shocked by the amount that Myweather had to pay, I thought he was really addicted to gambling.
I have seen a video where the news is just like rumors without confirmation if he really lost gambling because gambling is illegal in Dubai. Or if it is true that there is an amount that he actually lost in gambling, it turns out that the gambling casino he went to may be a private casino like that.
And some are saying that there are rumors that he was kidnapped in Dubai, and others are saying that he has a debtor, so here it seems like the news is just rumors or fake news because, in fact, there is still a match approaching on June 15, 2024.

I don't know maybe some of these celebrities are doing this to make more fame or they are just making a display of their chronic gambling addictive nature, how on earth will someone have that kind of money to gamble with, when there are other interesting investment he could have use the money for and improve lives, there is no doubt that on the buzz of the news event over his debt circular and trends alone will yield him more money as income because everyone hearing about this will like to go online to read more further on how it all happened, am sure where he is now, he is not being scared for paying them back because of his capacity to do so, but this entire act is uncalled for.
The news was later debunked to be false information but I don't think there is no smoke without fire, there is something odd about the story, it's either he is owing them as it was reported but the amount isn't upto what was called in the media but because he is a star, they made it look so expensive to catch attention because you know, his lifestyle is always public attention person, always showing stack of money just to prove a point to when they owed companies money.
This is just a message for everyone that like to glorified celebrities as role model, they are just normal human beings like us who got into fame and are bound to behave like normal human being or even worse than a normal or average human being. I have seen him been in the news for bad things than many times than 50 cent he shade all the time.
As we do all know that you could really be wealthy or having that tons of money but we do also know that there's no such thing about unlimited fund on which does simply means too that you could really be on the top
and crash down into the bottom if you wont really be that careful in terms of spending up your money and gambling could change your life if you wont be careful.
I cant reallythat believe that Mayweather did experienced out or having this kind of condition knowing this guy loves to flex tons of cash plus with those expensive cars that he had
and now seeing this kind of news or condition which could give out that impression that he had that made up that nasty mistake in together with that dealing of gambling.
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.

I'm surprised I haven't heard something about this if it is true. You'd think it would be big news that's plastered all over the internet. Holding someone hostage, especially a celebrity would seemingly be gossip worthy. However, it wouldn't surprise me if this were actually true. Floyd Mayweather may be insanely rich and flaunts it like nobody else, but he's also been accused of not paying his debts plenty of times. I think most recently with Logan Paul, where Logan claims he still hasn't been paid everything that Floyd owes him and it's been years...
There is no news actually about Floyd anymore. I tried looking up more information about this but nothing so far.
Rick Glaser however confirmed this information that Floyd is in Dubia still detained. Here is one of his tweets about it backed by an article about it. https://x.com/RealRickGlaser1/status/1784876149568417911
https://www.marca.com/en/boxing/2024/05/18/6648a465ca4741a8698b45e8.html
Not sure why there is not much talk in the media but I think there is politics behind this.
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.

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

I have an 8-year-old son who also really likes soccer and boxing, where he practices both sports, he admires Mayweather a lot, and really that act that the boxer did is not a good example for him, for me that It has an impact because I had to talk to my son about it so that he doesn't imitate something like what he did in his life, so if it impacts my life, although it is not something so relevant for others, it does for 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 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 believe they now have personal feud, hence, throwing some bad blood to each other. Also, I don't believe he had debts why he was detained for some reason. He has big name and a lot of money, I don't think he will be treated such in Dubai. Your thoughts on this situation is more likely to happen, as we know he is a greedy rich individual.
Mayweather's response to Davis is that he posted photo enjoying Dubai's coastline.

I assume something similar happened with Floyd.This is possible to happened since he is gambling overseas which means if the OP number for debt was right, He will need time to liquidate assets in able to pay that kind of debt and wired to Saudi casino account.
But yeah we all know that Floyd has a lot of cash which he always flaunts in social media. I’m doubtful too that smart guy like him with overflowing cash will gamble irresponsibly on foreign country. It’s not even possible to have that kind of credit line in an overseas casino.
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.

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.

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?

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?
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.
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.

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.
The truth is that this type of News usually Impacts us a lot , because he is a world Star , I don't know why they start doing this type of thing , in part it is an example for Many and the fact that it comes to this type of event Because if it damages his respect, something that I admire about this boxer is the number of Bodyguards he has, they are men who some exceed 2 meters, and of a lot of weight , but he does not have that need. , these types of Influential People must set a good Example , there are many children who want to be like him, and with this type of thing it is not right , I hope his situation is resolved, this Boxer has never been to my liking, but still He is a Representative of the Sport.
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.

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.

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)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.

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:

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.

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."

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
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.

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.

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
by allowing gambling to happen which is strictly prohibited in their religion. It is said that the Saudis detained Floyd due to gambling debt.
