I've been watching Mr 'About Billions' since his come up and having also recently seen him on stream, it's wildly entertaining and also not at all surprising.

I used to watch a mini series he had on youtube called "about billions" and he was always as you said, a louder, more obnoxious, certainly less disciplined, version of mayweather. He certainly had the talent, but it was always obvious to me that his ego wouldn't be able to handle the temptations of money and fame.

I knew he had issues with the booze, and I remember a few years back he punched out a guy in vegas while intoxicated. But now seeing him on stream you get to see the extent of his obnoxious drunk behaviour close up.

It's definitely a train wreck. But as a long time boxer myself, I can't help but feel sorry for him. No matter how fallen an ex boxing champion is, I always have some combination of huge respect for them and sadness for the Rags-to-riches-to-rags pattern that so many of their lives take.
