NY Times article on Martinez: He Was Robbed, Then Became Champion

Apparently he's made more money from his businesses and investments than he has from boxing. Pretty cool. Another story: After Martinez, now 37, became an unlikely boxing champion, after years of fighting nobodies for nothing, he partnered with a financial adviser, Miguel Angel de Pablos. They took Martinez’s boxing money and started a security consultation company. They invested in businesses and markets. They entered the volatile world of boxing management. The thread, throughout, remained consistent. The fearful became the fearsome, the poor boy a rich man. And the cyclist who accidentally became a boxer, who obtained his titles and athletic acclaim far later in life than most, has made more money from investments than from fighting, has made millions outside the ring, according to his advisers. The whole article is good. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/17/sports/sergio-martinez-from-frequent-robbery-victim-to-boxing-champion.html?_r=1&pagewanted=1 There's also an article in the Wall Street Journal about Martinez wanting to become a comedian. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304692804577285834141600736.html#articleTabs_comments
