Holyfield fans, watch this interview :frown:

Is it just me or does every detrimental post make an appeal to Christianity? He just forgot to pull out, that's all.

Wonder what his $ value really is. Probably still rich by most peoples standards...

i know, but its hella sad, this man gave us some of the greatest fights in history, and it seems his fate is inevitable, i hope he does alot of endorsment deals, and commercials im a holyfield fan and yes, this is indeed very sad

**** him he's made 400 million & is broke! Odh is the only one who made more than him.should have put some $ away for a rainy day! 400 million people & you feel sorry for him? Dead beat!

Each kid gets 38g a year! Mothers must be living very comfortably of of him too!

pre_nuuuup!!!

Sad. He doesn't know what else to do with himself (all he knows is boxing). Well, what exactly the fukk else is he suppose to do? Become a chef or something? They said he's earning 25-30k for public speaking. It would be nice if the dude didn't have to fight anymore and could just live comfortably. However, he seems like a logical motherfukka, I'll give him that. He knows what he's doing here I think.

His speech is inaudible. Not really. He's very easy to understand, but his grammar is terrible, like nearly all professional athletes from poor backgrounds. You want to hear inaudible, listen to Devin Hester.

Alright I'm about 8 beers deep but reading my posts I'm beginning to feel like the resident philosopher lol.

At the end of the Day Evander should have been smarter with his money. But guess what... He didnt have any guidance in that department..and when he would inquire about help with finances thats when vultures come...what uncle..cousin...etc was he going to go to for help with that. Also...the legal system scam makes millions off guys like holy....1 million dollars could take care of 40 kids let alone 13.... the system is biased in favor of women. He's going to fight some more and hopefully handle the money correctly maybe invest in some businesses. This harkens to a system which is created both on false and, more prudently, outdated pretexts. It is certainly the case that women deserve their due in a marriage relationship, and when all of the stars align things are intended to be 50/50. However the theories on which the present system is based presuppose that both sides are contributing 50%, irregardless of what the reality may be. Next, if you consider the reality that marriage this day and age is rarely, and decreasingly, conducted according to this framework, the entire scam begins to take form. Not to mention all of the attorneys who are punching their meal tickets with this racket, who are really themselves at the heart of the entire thing. Holy doesn't deserve this shit, but he's a real man and trying to take care of his problems.

he should have followed the ray carruth way lol

big fan of evanders but nothing but ignorance could make you go threw all that money.shame a southern gentelman christian man. but you cant blame it on the x,s its all sadly on him. Is it just me or does every detrimental post make an appeal to Christianity?

Holyfield earned the money he's made in his career. Why? Simply because noone else could've done what he's done, which goes for every great fighter. As such he deserves to live comfortably in his later years. In reality if you make that much money you can fukking support 13 kids from various relationships. It may not be the usual way but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. This dude's been a victim of financial mismanagement and exploitation.

what are you guys thoughts on this, cuz it exsplans alot big fan of evanders but nothing but ignorance could make you go threw all that money.shame a southern gentelman christian man. but you cant blame it on the x,s its all sadly on him.

I have no pity for him. Dude really, noone deserved to be financially dry fukked. Holy's no different in that way at least.

Where your a Rocket Scientist or someone from the hood there is no excuse for 13 kids with different mothers.

I feel bad for him it sounds like he thought he could keep fighting forever and that it would keep paying the bills, but as he got older he didn't know what to do. That's why he's still fighting, he's not fooling anyone. Half a million dollars in child support for a guy that only sporadically fights is CRAZY, and the ex-wife that sued must be so gutless I can't imagine. I think you have a point in regards to his potential mindset. It is likely that he became complacent with the large paydays and he likely neglected to consider the future of his finances as a result. I think he was being ingenuous when he said it's never been about the money. I get the sense that to him fighting is simply what he does and it is the way he pays the bills. As such, sure he's doing it for the money. If he didn't need the money he wouldn't need to fight. I just don't think he sees it quite this way.

I have no pity for him.
