I don't know if someone else posted this story earlier. It's from the New York Post.
Just thought about it when read about Mayweather buying a Rolls Royce Phantom. Then I remember the original owner of Wal-Mart, who was hundreds of times richer than Mayweather, who always stuck with his old Ford F-150.
Here's the link for the Iran Barkley Story (with a pic)

The champ answers his flip phone and can't figure out where he is. All he knows is it's a motel room.
"Don't hang up, don't hang up," he tells the caller. They're supposed to meet.
He bolts from the room's stale air and across the hallway, anxiously asking other guests, "Where's this hotel at?"
Now frantic, he plods down a set of stairs, finds the reception clerk and gets the address. It's the Howard Johnson Express Inn on Boston Road in The Bronx.
He has nowhere else to go.
Iran "The Blade" Barkley -- once a legendary ring warrior with a half-dozen championship belts -- is homeless.
