Mario Williams Sues Ex To Get $785,000 Engagement Ring Back

No shit, dude. I was alluding to why he spent as much as he did.

 

LOL

Thankfully Texas is clear about that shit and she has to give the ring back based on the laws there.

She has no legitimate basis to keep that ring, when she called off the engagement.

He needs to peep game when it is staring him right in his face and what this chick was all about. His dumbass fell right into it. Simp ass niccas like this piss me off.

This chick was charging his credit accounts like no one's business and he wanted to put a ring on it, he should have seen what she was about from a mile away.

 

:smt043:smt043:smt043

Can the church say Amen.

Texas where they lived and this all took place is clear on that much. No ifs, ands or buts. The ring goes back to the purchaser.

 

When all is said and done he should be forced to do a PSA for simps and manginas 101. 785K ring, get the fuck outta here.

The above post you mentioned should have told him what this chick was about. In the immortal words of Kanye

:smt043:smt043:smt043

 

Did anyone read her explanation about why she broke off the engagement??
I was hoping Mario was the one who cut things off.

She's the one who refused to marry him, yet she won't give back a damn near $1 mil diamond engagement ring??

I'd have to take out a restraining order against myself so I wouldn't smack this chick in her nose!!

classic

 

hold on ma'am. the IRS get 40%. if a player gets hurt he will not get paid...unless it is gauranteed money. the agent gets their cut.

just because you have the money to spend doesnt mean you should.

he is a dumbass . in relationship to his net pay.... he paid way too much.

 

When's the last time you had a girl?

 

Well that guaranteed is pretty huge at $50 million. It's the richest amount ever given to a defensive player.
Now add to it his 6 years of income with Houston at roughly $6 mill a season, and the man is BALLING in every way.

 

FYI he will never see every penny of that deal , usually take a forced pay cut, get cut, or extend it for more up front

 

Yep. I never assumed he would get the full 100 mill - it's always tiered and with exceptions, but the $50 mill he gets/got...
Which boded to my initial point that $700g's to him might not be as enormous as we first all thought.
I now think perhaps this is more of a pride thing than a money thing (rightly so, of course).

 

Or a principle thing.

 

no doubt

trust me ....that dude probably pay more in taxes than most people make in a year....

 

here are some interesting info that was from a documentary called "broke" that aired on espn. this was noited from a website

10 Things We Learned from ESPN’s ‘Broke’


Last night, ESPN aired a 30 for 30 special on broke athletes. The facts were depressing, the confessions candid. Director Billy Corben rounded up a bunch of retired athletes to discuss their harsh economic realities.

The documentary wasn’t perfect. It barely scratched the surface, and some of the stories of excess highlighted rang familiar. But it started an important conversation on the financial pitfalls facing professional athletes. The phrase “must-see” is an overused expression when describing films and documentaries. Broke is a must-see.

Below, 10 takeaways from Broke.


1. Roughly 60% of NBA players are broke within five years of retirement. The picture is much bleaker for NFL players — 78% are broke within three years of retirement. (This Sports Illustrated piece likely inspired Corben’s documentary)

2. Financial distress is less an issue of race and more an issue of financial illiteracy.

3. “Money Ain’t a Thang” is a song by Jay-Z and Jeremy Dupri. Apparently.

4. Spending was competition for most athletes. “Guys competed just as hard off the field as they did on the field,” offers Keith McCants. Take it from McCants — he spent $7 million on a yacht, a mansion, and a couple cars.

5. There’s a millionaire myth in pro sports. Not everyone is balling on a private yacht. In reality, “you might find 5 or 6 guys on a team that are millionaires” on any given team.

6. Athletes get talked into bad investments all the time. Only one out of 30 or 40 of these work out. Some of the hilariously bad business proposals mentioned in Broke: phone card dispenser, calligraphy store, African diamond mines, tomato farms (“Tomatoes are everywhere, Ed!”), record label, car wash, plastic floaty thingies. As one wise man put it, “The worst investment is trusting someone to make an investment for you.”

7. Athletes pay taxes in every state they play in. (LA Times explored this awhile back)

8. The trophy wives dip once the cash well dries out. About 60% of players are divorced within three years of retirement.

9. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to keep it in the family. Stories of athletes who got swindled by their relatives abound. Others get guilt-tripped into frivolous spendings. This is common knowledge, of course. One bizarre example stood out to me — one player received a $26,000 bill from his mother for raising him.

10. Andre Rison never got the memo about not wearing sunglasses inside.

Key Quotes:

“A goal without a plan is a wish.” - Herman Edwards

“You got champagne taste, but you only got beer money, THAT’S NOT GOOD!” – Herm Edwards

“You can live like a king for a year…or you can live like a prince forever.” – Bart Scott

You can catch Broke again this Saturday at 6:30 pm ET on ESPN Classic.

 

Interesting, never new that.

 

This is sad. Noah's godfather (my best friend) isn't even an athlete and blew through 1.6 million in 3 years. Shit that's so crazy, is he was 6 figures deep before the lawsuit. So in reality almost $2mil gone. Ended up marrying some broad from the PJs, she spent up all his money and P'YOOON!

 

And this is why broke people stay broke. Even if you're a decamillionaire no one wants to take a 800kcredit loss if they can avoid it. That shit is summer house money or cash for something else that can appreciate over time.

 

How did he earn the money?

 

why so suspect?
