Floyd 'Money' Mayweather: Back on the Plantation Again (good read)

[Ego Noir]

So, simply put, we need more black people who have the means to build empires to actually focus on doing that instead of being content working under someone else.

Been thinking this for a long time now

That's what I'm trying to get at.

Flipping this to me, I work in an industry that's performance based. I just joined a firm and right out the gate grossed more than any agent there. It caught the attention of the owner and he started talking to me directly and pushing me to make more deals.

The thing is. Breh is a Jew. And it came across not like congratulatory nor appreciative, but more like exploitation. He was pushing me in a way that felt like he didn't give a fukk about me but it was more so how much money I can make him.

I took a step back for a little cause I was working so hard, they started asking for me or whatever, but what I noticed was that business went on as usual. the company went on as usual.

Then I started thinking, I'm breaking my back making this mans company rich, made deals that put him back in good terms with developers he had a shaky relationship with, but at the end of the day should I leave there would be another to replace me and I done left with nothing but my final check.

I need them more than they need me, and it was a reality check.

Like this article says about Mayweather, I don't have any power, I'm as good as my last [fight/deal]. I'm just picking cotton. And in the end have done nothing for myself nor anyone that looks like me.


So whats the point. I'd rather work for far less but build something I can say is mine, then work to make a Jew rich. I literally watched Jew after Jew open up firms, damn near are responsible for the gentrification of what was once strong black neighborhoods but I look around and in a city where there are over 2 million blacks but we remain on the bottom of the totem pole and are nothing but workers.

And what I see is that the Jews did what they're doing, simply, by supporting each other. Not integrating into an infrastructure already in place in brooklyn, but built their own system and blacklisted anyone else.

That's the story and I learned means the difference between dependence, and freedom.

Don't like the comparison to slavery was poorly used and a reach at best, also don't like the implying of flyod being under payed, I don't follow his money like but he seems to be getting good compensation for his work


I do agree with the underlying theme that Floyd should be the one running his own company but if am not wrong even Oscar didn't start golden boy until after he retired

Remove your emotions from the concept of slavery and look at it objectively. It's the same concept but a modern one.

Whether you believe Floyd's millions is great compensation is irrelevant. Fact of the matter is Floyd Mayweathers name is the face of boxing to the casual fan and he carries that on his back. He brought boxing back into the mainstream since the fall of Tyson. But the bottom line is, he owns nothing. He controls nothing. He's just a worker. You are flabbergasted by Floyd's 32 million guarantee because you are a blue collar man working for peanuts: fact is in that bracket there are men earning far, far more than him. There's no reason why Floyd Mayweather should be content with earning a workers wage (no matter how many millions it may be) he should be at the table with executives on top of the sport.

But instead of that he builds a shell promotional company and is content with fighting for TIs wife and buying Rolls Royce's for some new bird that slept with him.

This is common knowledge to anybody who pays attention to boxing.

We knew all of this at least 3 years ago. And there's a business reason why mayweather promo is a dummy company and why he contracts GBP for their promo services.


The promo company has to provide security, judges,ref,gloves, fight insurance, ambulance, police security, etc etc etc. It a huge liability. GBP has these things in order, it makes no sensefor mayweather Promo to go thru all of that a just to promote ONE fighter.

So Floyd's business model of complete independence, and farming out the liabilities to GBP and an extremely discounted rate because GBP benefits from the association greatly. Their fighters get paid millions to fight Floyd, their fighters are on the undercard. Floyd automatically has a stable of fighters To make huge money fights with.

Anybody saying he's a glorified GB fighter doesn't know what their talking about, Floyd is the only mainstream fighter, ever that has maintained 100 % control over who he fights, and he heaven decides what his opponent earns. He has his Own deal with the PPV company, his own deal with MGM grand. His business model is ideal

He just got a license in new york and now he's getting one in las vegas



The reason that Mayweather used Golden Boy in the first place is because Mayweather Promotions is not licensed to promote in Nevada. It has filed an application and will be considered by the Nevada Athletic Commission at its July 23 meeting in Las Vegas.

I don't really follow boxing like that but how long does it take to get a license? It seems like mayweather has been screaming TMT for years now.

Throughout the years black people have been saying just that. Delaney, Garvey, Elijah, X, etc. It's nothing new, but for whatever reason it's always been too much talk and too little action for us.

@CashmereThoughts explained there why it's better to do it like that for Floyd Mayweather.It makes zero sense to do that just for one fighter.

But the article is speaking long term. As a means of wealth and power. As a legitimate promotional company that will earn him money far beyond his retirement. And that is where Mayweather Promotions is a joke.

Floyd doesnt appear interested in 'building', he's more of a 'celebrity' .. Hes happy to earn a very good living and mix it up with rappers.. Because if he was seriously interested in building as a Black man in the world of boxing he failed to consult with Don King. I dont think as a young Black promoter you can ignore some of the King lessons.

 

[SonofaGod]

If floyd goes broke the media coverage will be

If?

Tyson status 10 years after he retires.

The man even keeps 123 millions dollars in cash, in one account.

Yea. 10 years

Reminds me about the thread @Theraflu posted about his job. Yall kinda saying the same thing

 

[Big Boss]

Read the article.



Then you have to question why after so many years has Mayweather promotions remained in its infancy:steven:

Cockroaches.


and the man who was his right hand, 50 Cent, said exactly the same like @Napoleon said

Ellerbe said he is in the process of seeking licenses in California; Washington, D.C.; Illinois; and Michigan, Mayweather's birth state

What's stopping Floyd from doing what Oscar is doing? Oscar is Mexican, so it's not like he's afforded some super societal benefit. Plantations weren't something slaves chose to be at. They didn't have the option and they weren't compensated at all. On the other hand, Floyd is handsomely compensated.

Problem in the black community is that the people with the resources, instead of building infrastructure that will keep his wealth and help other blacks, we're too busy wasting it on material wealth to SHOW how wealthy we are. Bring that up though and you are 'hating', and 'shouldn't tell people how to spend their money...' but then soon thereafter pops up the topics on what we NEED to be doing, aka group economics or hiring our own, etc.Floyd doesn't 'own' anything because he chooses not to.

Hell no! Thinking like that belittles the plight of slavery the prison system is modern day slavery. This is just mayweather doing bad business.
