RJJ owes $3.5 million to IRS, no wonder he's still fighting.

For some reason I really don't think FLoyd and Manny will have problems with money in life, or at least I'm hoping it won't be. Floyd had tax problems in the past, I don't think he's dumb enough to repeat them or let's hope so. Manny lives in the Phillipines where the cost of living is considerably lower than 1st world developed nations, not to mention he's got endorsements there (San Miguel beer, Nike) and is a congressman.

I might be wrong, but I hope all goes well for both since they have entertained millions of people through their ring exploits.

I hope so too, but I suspect Floyd will run himself into serious difficulties because he seems to just forget to pay his taxes every year. He does seem to have toned down his lifestyle a bit, selling a lot of his cars etc, but like Manny, I see that entourage coming back to haunt him. I really hope they can both be alright, they've made so much money that it shouldn't be an issue, but sadly it still could be.

I read some time ago that Ali's Name (Rights) was generating ~$40 million a year and he sold it for $80 Million. I think it's owned by Sony now. Roy & Floyd's names will probably be worth something in the future but certainly no where near what Ali's name is worth. Floyd's book deal, "The Real Floyd Mayweather" or "The Floyd behind the persona" will generate a tremendous amount of intrigue. So even if Floyd blows everything, he still has some future earnings from rights to bail him out. Pacquiao's name is already worth millions and he has dozens of enforcements. He can probably maintain being generous to a fault and not have to ever worry about money. If he gets to be like Michael Jackson, then he'll have some problems. I have no clue about Roy.
