Floyd does not live a "gangsta" lifestyle. He is an entertainer...he is selling an IMAGE. And while that image is flashy and excessive...it's hardly gangsta. And guess what...he sells it so well that he is the highest paid athlete in sports and has people such as yourself discussing his life. People need to realize that for better or worse...sports is a business. Don't hate on Floyd for realizing that and capitalizing on it better than any other athlete.
So he along with his father and uncle haven't been in and out of prison their entire lives? Floyd makes 40 million per fight and still can't stay out of prison. The guy frequents strip clubs on a regular basis and throws money around...even when a camera isn't on him...I know you want to think he's just "selling an image"...but Floyd isn't that clever unless he's in a boxing ring. Swing and a miss.
