Boxing champ Floyd Mayweather may be dressing a little plainly lately. Last month burglars broke in to his Las Vegas home, and, according to the pugilist, made off with around $7 million in jewelry. The home was empty when a window between the master bedroom and pool area was smashed and the valuables were stolen. The security camera footage has been little help in ascertaining the identity of the four bandits who broke in. As David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press notes, last year on HBO Mayweather demonstrated that he doesn't believe in credit cards and believes in liquidity, shocking the camera crew by showing off $1 million in cash stored in a duffle bag in his bedroom. Mayweather is notoriously spendy, wearing flashy jewelry, giving lavish tips and gambling big on sporting events but after this he will likely be a lot more careful about where he stores his bling.

i wonder whats so wrong in his life and in his mind that he has to be so flashy and braggadocio in order to feel adequate. poor thing...i wanna just pat him on the head and tell him he's relevant in the world because he's a great athelete, not because he's rich. and ever notice that the people that REALLY have it never talk about it? interesting phenomenon, really.

Good. Mayweather is nothing but a racist has-been. Frankly, I've got no sympathy for anyone losing millions of dollar in jewelry. But especially someone like him who spits in the face of the people who helped make him famous to own those jewels.

You know considering how flashy he is I don't feel sorry for him at all. If this wasn't an insurance scam then I bet for now if he learned his lesson he'll a little less flashy and watch who he let's into his inner circle. I would like to know why didn't he have a better security system? Just security cameras... no alarms or spotlights outside? What an idiot. If I was making this kind of money security would be my number 1 priority.
