I've read the book, but I had never gotten around to watching the video version of it until now. I feel so sorry for the people in these situations.
Once again, I know this is nothing new to those who have already been versed in history and I had heard about this fighter before, but I had never known how he went downhill. It's sad to know that there are probably more fighters out there struggling through weight, training, fighting, financial issues...only to get shortchanged.
A short look into Tim Witherspoon's fight with Frank Bruno and what happened right after the fight after he got a pathetic check:
Skip to 5:35 of the video...
It's outrageous...
