I just read in the newspaper that Tyson was 50mil in debt. If I remember correctly, Gerry Cooney would have lost his house if Tyson hadn't of payed off his mortgage. How can these guys who have made millions and millions of dollars go broke?Theres lots of boxers who end up broke-far to many to mention. So my question is this.In general, What sport would be the home to the most stupid athletes on the face of the earth?

I like this question... it may very well be boxing.

Can make a case for weightlifting and bodybuilding.

Can also make a case for Football.

The politically incorrect answer would be some special olympics event.

What ever gay sport you played in Jr High ;)

Not all fighters end up the way Tyson and Cooney did. Larry Holmes still has every penny he ever made fighting, Holyfield is extremely well off as well. Even fat Buster Douglas is still very well off even with the relative number of paydays he had.
