    Yeah I read that too, but I can't remember where.

        Vargas put his money in property at the right time and he should be set for life.

          That's not what I've heard about Chavez. That's why he kept fighting long after his prime. Of course he is treated like royalty in Mexico though.

                Douglas made loads from the holyfield fight $24.6 million, the owner of the hilton hotel tried to sue him for lack of effort.

                  99% of big time fighters are totally secure when they retire, they make millions and millions of dollars. its just that the ones that **** it all up are so highly publicized that it makes it look like the majority are ****ups.
