Just Being Pissy About My Lot In Life

in #boxing7 years ago

Meet Conor McGregor.

He's 29. An Irish feller, with a Scottish surname. He punches people for money.

Meet Floyd Mayweather.

He's 40. American. He's been convicted of multiple counts of domestic violence and misdemeanor battery against women, felony coercion, felony robbery, and harassment. He also gets paid to punch people.

Yesterday, these two gentlement had a fight.

They each got paid $100 million US for that fight. As of today, that's  $126,103,413 AUD. If I were still working at my former employer, earning $45,000 AUD per year, it would take me $2,802 years to earn that. Currently unemployed, I get $1,088 per month from the government to live on. It would take me $9,658 years to earn that much.

Except, I can never earn that much, because welfare pays less than my monthly mortgage. Eventually, through attrition, I will no longer have enough money to pay my mortgage, and will lose my home.

But a man who beats women can punch the shit out of another man, then retire, and make enough money to buy several islands. Or mansions. Or buy my home 420 times over. Or a 400 million Chicken McNuggets.

Seems fair.

Sort:  

bread and circus my friend. I was Conors body double for the aldo promo and the new beats commercial they made. He is a giant tool. We all know Floyd is shit. But this is how you keep a crumbling empire together. Keep the masses fat and distracted. Good luck buddy. Positivity is key. Thats one thing both these guys do, they believe.

I can't wait to have people get pissy about our success here.
A year or two from now; when the site has 100 million new users all desperately scrambling to establish a following, and anyone here since 2017 has at least 5 million followers.

I can completely understand thinking that is unfair however that is life. Whether he is a criminal or not he has a talent and he uses that talent to make money. I am sure you wouldn't have a problem if he became a builder, made his own business and became successful.

I'd happily get paid that amount of money to punch people and have them punch me.

Then I'd eat 200 million chicken nuggets, and spend the rest on inventing turkey nuggets so I could have 100 million of those.
