Here’s a photo Floyd Mayweather recently posted of himself and linked to his Twitter account.
Floyd wrote of the photo: “I’m teaching a life skills class to the youth at my boxing camp.”
To be a fly on the wall for that skull session! While we can only guess what worldly wisdom Mayweather imparted, perhaps some of his other Twitter photos can serve as clues as to how boxer handles extraordinary wealth and celebrity with such subtle aplomb.

It’s another case of a simple-minded athlete having to prove he’s not poor (at least at the present). People with real wealth don’t do this. He’ll be broke in 10 years after his “investment money” in bars, nightclubs, etc. is gone, leaving him bankrupt and without a clue.

A phoney Superman is Mayweather, the sissy attention-seeker like a loud gay in a beauty parlor.

A prime example of a lowlife with money. A fool and his money will soon part ways. Give this dick a couple of years and he’ll be fighting again to earn (cherrypicking opponents of course)

Floyd, the ever-insecure, childish, egoistic, self-proclaimed trying -hard social climber. This classless guy taught he can buy his status & reputation. He may have the money for the time-being but his arrogance & character would never elevate him to the higher class of society. This is a guy who never outgrew his inferiority & insecurities. Grow a bit Floydie, will yah..

Hey? This is the internet. I have seen worse. Most people writing about Floyd Hate him.
It seems to work for Floyd because people really want
to see him beaten. Its really is brilliant because the man is laughing all the way to the bank. Talk about the Love
Hate relationships! When he beaten or retires you will
hate it happen because there won’t be the hate. Hate
is very seductive. For what this is worth try just injoying
the skilled talent in the ring an let the rest take care of itself.

Honestly, this guy is pathetic! I can see he is very insecure and is flaunting his money to make up for his insecurities. Poor guy.
