your right there.
once they pay taxes, agents, hangers on etc etc etc they will probably see about 25%, which is still a lifetime of money, well it would be for any of us
If all my friends were given a million dollars, half of them would spend it in the first year - of the other half the that would attempt to manage it, I suspect only half of that half would be successful beyond the three year mark.
In other words, 75% of my friends could be given to 25% of the purse given to Mayweather or McGregor and spend it all.

. And fast...
thing with conor is he is the ultimate showman. even though he sucked in the fight(although staying up for 10 rounds was good for his first even if maywether carried him.
he sold the pre fight alot better than mayweather imo, in the end it's entertainment as much as it is sport.
hell I couldn't have gone 1 round with mayweather even if he let me, and neither would 100% of this board, well except for Darren Avey and DJ181, and Jason Blaha
He's not that strong, so I'm sure there are plenty of local amateur fighters who could go more than a round with him. What about just strong fit guys? Or how about very strong people, like those from World's Strongest Man? Would they last a round?
