Evander Holyfield is in Serious Financial Trouble

[Motofan]

Bummer. I like Evander, and whoever said this will make him keep fighting is right...I dont want to see him get hurt. He has such a great chin that he could take a beating for 12 rounds and stay upright. I dont want to see him end up really punchdrunk.

Well, even people with plenty of means can live outside their means. Regardless of your occupation, the trick is to live BELOW your means.

And not to bash Evander, but does he really NEED a $20 million house? (thats what it cost to build it). Why is that necessary? What, a $5 or $6 million house isnt good enough? And look at Floyd. Even though they are probably just leases to make him look good (like in most rap videos), what purpose does a Maybach, 2 Rolls Royces, a Bently, Ferrari, etc. serve? Great, so you look like a big shot for a few years, and when your income eventually loses pace with your spending, before you know it, you're broke.

The Charlie Sheen line to Michael Douglas in "Wall Street" says it best....
"Just how many yachts can you water ski behind?"

No wonder he was fighting on when we were all caling for him to quit, He must have had a look at his bank balance and though oh well time to put on the gloves again, But how did he end up having 10 KIDS? Dont this guys learn anything? Geroge foreman 10 KIDS.....Mayweather 4 KIDS already? God

[cuzfozzy]

there will probably be a Tyson Holyfield III
since they both need the money ....
it will probbaly be more like an exhibition though yawnnn

Srzly. 9 kids? What the **** homie.

[Live Dog]

If you had 56 kids you would have financial troubles too.

[BKM-]

It's his own fault.

This story is very sad, especially for a guy that was so damn rich.

[MANGLER]

How the **** do these guys make more $ than most people could in 10 lifetimes and still end up broke? I'm a big Holyfield fan and this **** is ****ed up. It's bad enough he won't retire cuz he's a shell of his younger self, but now he's on the Tyson path to havin to fight just for $. It's tragic watchin this happen to a great champ like Evander.
