The Bizzare World Of Floyd Mayweather by Hyinkar97(m): 2:53pm On Jan 23, 2015
The cash-rich and often bizarre world of
boxer Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jr. is
today exposed by his former executive
assistant.
Tasha Robinson-White worked for
Mayweather, 37, for 12 years operating
within his inner circle as the boxer's
'right hand' woman - and has now written
a tell-all book about her extraordinary
career.
In an exclusive interview with Daily
Mail Online she reveals how she
witnessed 'Pretty Boy' Floyd's
extraordinary rise from a cocky young
sportsman to undefeated boxing champion
of the world in five different weight
classes.
In a sensational account of the
sportsman's personal life Tasha, 42,
reveals how Mayweather became deeply
consumed by the trappings of wealth; lost
$15 million after being duped by a conman;
surrounded himself with an entourage of
paid strippers and hangers on; and gave
cash and presents to strangers.

She also exposes a vulnerable side to the
arrogant champ who at his lowest point
had talked about his own funeral after a
domestic dispute with the mother of his
children.
Tasha, whose book Right Hand To The
Champ is published this week, was by
Mayweather's side almost every day,
fitting in around his unusual routine.
When the fighter was not in
training he would sleep from 6am
until 3pm each day before spending
two hours dressing and grooming
himself.
He selected what designer outfit to
wear from his vast walk-in
wardrobe, which included a separate
room for his furs and a room for his
leathers.
Then at 4.55pm he and Tasha would drive
in separate cars to see his personal banker
at a Bank of America branch near his Las
Vegas home where he would withdraw, on
average, a staggering $100,000 in cash.

He didn't like credit cards,'
explains Tasha. 'So he always
wanted large amounts of cash with
him at all times.'He kept it in a
large duffel bag which his staff
called the 'pregnant duffel' because
it was always bulging with money.'
Two burly security guards follow
Mayweather wherever he goes to keep him
and the cash safe.Tasha said the boxer
lived and breathed money and became
more and more 'flashy and flamboyant'.He
even made his friends sit in the back of
his car so he could ride with the duffel bag
up front.Tasha says he blew his money
during extravagant shopping sprees, on
expensive fine dining and lavish nights
out.
He also liked to splash out on new
cars, collecting luxury vehicles like
'toy cars'.'I remember him buying
six or seven cars in one day,' recalls
Tasha.
When he bought me my Mercedes
the dealer told me that that was the
33rd Mercedes Benz Floyd had
bought from them.'
'Money' Mayweather – who can
earn $15,000 a second during some
of his big pay-per view fights and is
said to be worth $85million - once
tossed $100,000 in cash around like
it was confetti at a strip club.

'Then he'd fly us around on private jets.
I've seen him drop $1-2million on pieces
of jewelry, it got crazier and crazier,' said
Tasha
In 2008 he hired out a recently closed strip
club in Las Vegas to host a wild 'strip-off'
contest to impress his close friend, hip
hop artist T.I.He arranged for dozens of
professional strippers to be flown in from
around America to compete in the event
as part of one of his infamous
'Mayweather weekends'.
The girls were battling to win a $100,000
cash prize but as the night wore on an
excited Mayweather decided everyone
should come out a winner.
Tasha, who watched on in astonishment,
recalls:
'He went up on to the balcony and
tossed wads of cash out on to the
floor below, $10-$20,000 a time,
there were strippers on their hands
and knees picking $100 bills, it was
crazy.'
Later Mayweather hosted an after-party
at his Vegas mansion and during the wild
night the boxer threw more cash into his
swimming pool.He and his pals laughed
as several strippers dived in to the retrieve
the cash from the bottom.Tasha said
Mayweather's favorite hobby was
shopping, regularly visiting high-end
department stores in Vegas, splurging on
designer clothes and jewelry.
He would spend more than $35,000 on
clothes and shoes at a time, sometimes
every day.
But she says his generosity bordered on
the ridiculous when he also insisted on
buying all his staff clothes as well,
including the bodyguards.
