Would you want to be Mayweather?

I am confused by some of the responses I am seeing and even the question. It appears some are assuming fame and fortune comes with the price of family which is not true. If the question was would you trade my great relationship with my old man for fame and fortune.. the answer is obvious...A great relationship with your father is priceless...

On the other hand many fathers place tremendous pressure on their sons to become great athletes.....successful or not the relationship with your father becomes strained...Mayweather and Jones would have a similar relationship with their father even if they werent successful....Many successful athletes had great relationships with their family/fathers...Tiger Woods and MJ come to mind....

Not for the fame and fortune I still say yes, ask me if I would do, and have no friends? I would still say yes. Achieving that sort of success would mean everything to me.

Fuck yeah, I got no real friends now plus I'm broke and unknown.

So would I trade my life of mediocrity and anonymity where I sit indoors doing nothing for a life where I'm a multi millionaire sportsman at the absolute pinnacle of my career?

The answer is yes without a doubt, then I'd immediately retire with my millions and sit indoors doing nothing but now I'd be sitting on a much comfier chair

Bilbo I think you've single-handedly explained why PBF wants to retire lol . On the question, as someone who doesn't have a great family relationship, I'd rather have this relationship living in a Hertfordshire private estate than living on a Lewisham council estate as I do now, your family situation isn't defined by money, so yeah I would take that over havin the same shit but being stuck in the 'hood.
