You might\u2019ve been discouraged by eight to one odds favoring me to again beat Marcos Maidana but don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m going to teach you about prudent investing. Look at it this way. If you bet a thousand bucks on me you\u2019ll earn about a hundred twenty. That\u2019s twelve percent and damn good for a very-short-term investment.<\/p>\n

\tYeah, but the principal isn\u2019t guaranteed like a U.S. Treasury bond, you may say. <\/p>\n

\tDon\u2019t be square. All achievers must take risks. But the best ones, like Warren Buffet and me, don\u2019t really take chances. We buy parts of great companies. And I\u2019m buying a slice of Floyd Mayweather, Inc. for next Saturday night. You should too. Be insightful. You know I wouldn\u2019t take any fight I wasn\u2019t sure I\u2019d win. Fighting the most dangerous opponents is for brain-damaged guys like Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammad Ali. Floyd Mayweather will be enunciating clearly at age ninety. <\/p>\n

\tMarcos Maidana certainly won\u2019t threaten my health. I\u2019ve already figured him out. If you\u2019ve seen our first fight, you already know that. He had modest success early, rabbit punching, hitting low, and throwing wild stuff that, whether it landed or not, excited some fans as I spent too much time on the ropes. I didn\u2019t stay, though. You know Money\u2019s the finest ever at improvising during battle. The second half of the fight I moved more, used the center of the ring, landed plenty of sweet right crosses and left jabs, and made Maidana look like he was swinging at a ghost. <\/p>\n

\tTrust me, our next fight will be a continuation of the second half of the original. Maidana won\u2019t fall but he\u2019ll lose by enough that no judge will call this fight even, as one shortsighted guy did last time. Don\u2019t worry about your thousand bucks. Bet it, knowing it\u2019s a slice of Money almost federally insured, and after enjoying my artistry you\u2019ll collect and so will I. First, though, I\u2019ve got to decide how many hundred grand I\u2019m investing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
