Floyd Mayweather detained in Dubai due to gambling debts?

[348Judah]

It is said that the Saudis detained Floyd due to gambling debt. While we assume this country doesn't allow gambling, the report says that this casino is an invite-only for high rollers and that Floyd "Money" Mayweather is possibly in debt of $100M and he ain't going home until he settles the amount. I think he has already broken the record for the biggest gambling losses that celebrities have made. Mike Jordan and Tiger Woods's loss is nothing.

I don't know maybe some of these celebrities are doing this to make more fame or they are just making a display of their chronic gambling addictive nature, how on earth will someone have that kind of money to gamble with, when there are other interesting investment he could have use the money for and improve lives, there is no doubt that on the buzz of the news event over his debt circular and trends alone will yield him more money as income because everyone hearing about this will like to go online to read more further on how it all happened, am sure where he is now, he is not being scared for paying them back because of his capacity to do so, but this entire act is uncalled for.

The news was later debunked to be false information but I don't think there is no smoke without fire, there is something odd about the story, it's either he is owing them as it was reported but the amount isn't upto what was called in the media but because he is a star, they made it look so expensive to catch attention because you know, his lifestyle is always public attention person, always showing stack of money just to prove a point to when they owed companies money.

This is just a message for everyone that like to glorified celebrities as role model, they are just normal human beings like us who got into fame and are bound to behave like normal human being or even worse than a normal or average human being. I have seen him been in the news for bad things than many times than 50 cent he shade all the time.

No one could really be perfect even on how high we do speak in terms of fame.money etc. on which on the moment or time that you would really be making yourself getting tagged or would really be able to experience out this kind of situation on where gambling is really that one of the main cause then it could really be that truly put up someone in trouble specially if loses we are really that so speaking on which it could be limitless.
As we do all know that you could really be wealthy or having that tons of money but we do also know that there's no such thing about unlimited fund on which does simply means too that you could really be on the top
and crash down into the bottom if you wont really be that careful in terms of spending up your money and gambling could change your life if you wont be careful.

I cant reallythat believe that Mayweather did experienced out or having this kind of condition knowing this guy loves to flex tons of cash plus with those expensive cars that he had
and now seeing this kind of news or condition which could give out that impression that he had that made up that nasty mistake in together with that dealing of gambling.

I have seen a video where the news is just like rumors without confirmation if he really lost gambling because gambling is illegal in Dubai. Or if it is true that there is an amount that he actually lost in gambling, it turns out that the gambling casino he went to may be a private casino like that.

And some are saying that there are rumors that he was kidnapped in Dubai, and others are saying that he has a debtor, so here it seems like the news is just rumors or fake news because, in fact, there is still a match approaching on June 15, 2024.

Yes gambling,drugs,killings get you hanged in the city square in Saudi but apparently they are making some exceptions whenever there are celebrities and high profile individuals from other countries as long as they are not Muslims I assume.I never saw any Muslim person to be let gambling in Saudi Arabia while other religions are permitted and I think it is all about the money,as long as the state gets money in without risking their nationals they welcome them in such type of "casinos" and this is totally against the law there,this Floyd guy has the right to call them to trial if justice works there,as they have broken their own rules  by allowing gambling to happen which is strictly prohibited in their religion.

That's right, from what I heard, some of the rules that apply in Saudi Arabia can be set aside when you have a big influence or are a famous person, for example Cristiano Ronaldo, he is still not married to his girlfriend even though in Saudi Arabia sharing a house without marriage is prohibited, to be honest When I read the news that OP presented, I was shocked by the amount that Myweather had to pay, I thought he was really addicted to gambling.

It does not matter if this is an old news or not. What is interesting about the is that our celebrities have a gambling problem. Well some are known others are hidden from the public. Or at least for now I know of Micheal Jordan problem I also know of drake's gambling problem. I cannot categorically tell if they are struggling with gambling addiction, however what is clear is that there is a problem they have with gambling.

Most likely if you have lots and lots of money and you already bought everything available in this world to buy, you start to give less care about where you spend your money again and since celebrities don't have much interest in going to some financial education, they are always fallen to such kind of habit where most of their friends in behind the curtain are also doing it and as we can see right now, more of them are now exposed and also this is a warning from other celebrities if they don't spend their money on something beneficial, they will end up wasting it just like these guys.

I doubt of this, he won't be "Money" Mayweather for nothing. He's a rich athlete and not to mention big company sponsors and his advertisements which is enough for him to live his life to the fullest. He'd be able to pay this debt of him if this is true. Well yes, many celebrities and personalities have been involved with isrresponsible gambling patterns but that's because they have the money. They know how much theit networth is, which gives them the courage to bet big amounts like with Drake's controversial bets on the NBA and Boxing matches. I don't really invest that much time on such news because if I would be comparing myself to them, it won't make any sense due to differences with financial capacity and risk appetite. But the idea is there, which is to control your betting pattern and avoid betting that much however, that's something we all knew right from the start of our gambling careers.

Then his nickname "Money" should be replaced by "Debt", just kidding.

It's just a rumor, i read an article contradicting this story where Maywether donated $30k as charitable deed, its only Davis who spreading the rumors, next time we can see is a lawsuit of libel agaisnt him (Davis) if Maywether will do.

I would have given the source the benefit of the doubt on Floyd losing some bets but being held by the Saudi Government? That's what I find all cap. I was thinking Floyd's money transfer was just taking time to clear that's why he wasn't allowed by the owner of the private casino to leave.

[fullhdpixel]

Floys isnt able to pay his bill or debt - that sounds fake. I will never believe that he isnt able to pay a debt, but I can believe in him being greedy and simply not wanting to pay what he owes Ive seen celebrities acting like everyone owes them and they can take and get everything for free. For example going to restaurant, eating and walking away without paying. Because it was an honour for restaurant owner to feed them. I assume something similar happened with Floyd.

I think that can be true too because I think the guy seems not active in the boxing scene anymore which can earn him lot of money and even if we say that he is still active, the money that he borrowed can also be very huge, for him to struggle paying it. Much more if he got addicted to gambling because all or most of this money are only going to it.

If it was only a dinner or something in a resto, etc... it might not be a very big deal but we are talking about debts here and celebrities won't just borrow a small amount as it doesn't make sense because they can only earned it easily. If I'm a celebrity I will still show a respect to everyone and I can even pay more or donate my money.

Just to have a simple discussion, the Saudi government allow a few people to gamble and invite Floyd? Just one of the things we don't know, peasants could get hanged in public if they gambled and were caught.

That is because the law for the rich and the poor or normal citizen is totally different. We do get this a lot from different countries even if Saudi is strict for their laws and religious matters.

There can always be an exception about it.

Anyway, has this already been said to be real? because Floyd from his alias as Money definitely can pay anything he wants to.
