He isn't surely?

That was that same dickhead who has made literally about 10 accounts (and got them all banned) this month to race-bait and discredit black boxers.

Big George is ****ing loaded and he will be for life.

Wouldn't exactly pay for them to live a flashy and expensive lifestyle but I would ensure that they live a respectable life.

I know they were close and Michael took some time out of his career early on to help Leon with his issues.

Maybe Michael did try to help Leon financially and Leon is just is too irresponsible to take care of it.

obviously george foreman comes to mind, humberto soto has taken all his purses over the years & owns a fleet of transit buses in his hometown in mexico. i heard on a telecast he has expanded it substantially. jameel mccline has also done well too i read. he chose to come out of retirement to see if he still had it. he got a few fights in but clearly needed to go back into retirement. he lost to harold sconiers but did manage to drop abdusalamov & break spzlika's jaw but from my understanding he has been involved in several good business ventures. sultan ibragimov i hear is an oil tycoon in russia. the klitschkos have done well too.

seldon received 3.5 million when he fought tyson. i read he took that purse & paid off all his families houses & debt(parents, siblings)& set it up that he would only get like $30000\year for the rest of his life. not sure what he does now but this was a smart move to make sure he doesn't blow it all...

Oscar De la Hoya is really the only name that comes to mind. Maybe Tito if it's true about his gas company in PR.

He is worth $250,000,000

You'd think he'd help his brother out but maybe he has and he's just blown that too.

It was years ago that some news station did a story about Leon Spinks. He was pushing a broom on some basketball court just barely getting by. To the best of my memory, Leon, while at work, he removed his teeth and placed them down someplace, when he came back they were gone. Someone had stolen his teeth. He didn't even have enough money to buy new dentures.

Bad investments will do it every time, it never fails. I like to see fighters get big paydays, and it just makes me cringe when they are seen making these stupid purchases.

Seriously, buy what you want, but be reasonable. Don't buy a $10M mansion with an indoor and outdoor pool, and a tricked interior made of gold and crap like that.

What rich people fail to realize, is the maintenance involved in such purchases. can't forget about those leeches (family members included) that drain you dry.

Much appreciation to those guys who look out for their post-fight boxing career. It's hard to feel sorry for guys like FMJ.

He can spend his money however, but don't write a book in the next few years, talking how dumb you were with your money, in hopes that I buy it, to put more money back in your pockets. LOL

But that what your supposed to do when your rich!
