Boxers who are/were smart with their money/didnt wind up broke

[We want Floyd]

Sugar Ray Leonard, he did run into some problems with the IRS in the past, but he seems to be doing fine these days.

But Big George has done very well. I think DLH's road to millions was/is easier than most. All he had to do was use gel on his hair and smile, even in all his losses(hehe)

DLH made his millions off of scammin' the Mexican community, dare I say $55 PPV's for crappy performances.

Larry Holmes has been very smart with his money and is still very rich today.

Larry Holmes has been very smart with his money and is still very rich today.

Smart since his comeback against Tyson and the following, although Holmes claims that King was largely responsible for his financial woes.

[Soda Popinski]

Larry Holmes has been very smart with his money and is still very rich today.

I heard that Holmes was into property development for the last 20+ years, which is where Donald Trump made his fortune. Big risk but a HUGE payday when you get it right. He's also given a lot back to the community in terms of youth centers etc.

Wrong.

George made around 150 million for the use of his name for the grills. That alone is more than all of his boxing purses combined.

Not to mention the residual income he recieves every time someone buys a George Foreman Grill.

Word. I got a Foreman grill..........

James Braddock wisely invested his boxing earnings in new ventures and became a very successful businessman after his boxing career

Max Schmelling and Rocky Marciano invested their money wisely, and both financially assisted the troubled and broke Joe Louis in the 1960s.

Actually, Lennox Lewis is not as big a celeb as yanks might think in the UK. You hardly ever see him on TV. He made a car insurance comercial a year or so ago and that's it.

And the taxes are high here. Our current Formula 1 world car champion lives in Monaco for tax reasons!!!

Hatton has made a fortune and will end up making lots more. Hes not daft with his cash, not got a big house, wears crap clothes. Hes not flashy one bit is he. But he will make another 20 million against pac, has had big money ppvs in throughout his carrer. He will have a few more fights then he will prolly go into his promotional career, after dinner speaking and so on. The guy will be loaded

When Marciano died he was flat broke. As far as him giving money to Louis in the 60's is a flat out lie. Typical of you.
