Which Great Boxers in History became Poor Post-Boxing?

[Fights]

Mike Tyson? i saw a documentary a couple of months ago and the house hes currently living in is very nice but, i still hear hes broke and has nothing?

Wonder whatever happened to money Tyson earned? After all his cut from the $545 million on 12.4 million PPV buys is surely high.

Joe Louis is p4p no 1

Ali is fine financially, he sold his name and likeness for $50 million a few years back.
Frazier lives in a small room above his gym, he lost or got screwed out of a lot of his money.

Evander Holyfield seems like he's headed that way, as bad as it sounds.

Wilfred Benitez, Michael Carbajal (maybe not a 'great' fighter but the best junior flyweight in history IMO).

its REALLY great to know that Ali is doing well..good stuff..does anyone know who exactly bought the rights to his name? Is it some rich ******* or some rich ******* who will do his legacy justice?

I think it would be a lot easier if the question was which boxers didn't die broke.

Exactly. Its like asking "which boxers fight too long?" or "Which boxers are religious?"

I think it would be a lot easier if the question was which boxers didn't die broke.

We're talking not just any boxers here, but great boxers.

Damn! Evander Holyfield's House is Foreclosed!

Oscar De La Hoya. Poor guy, I heard he can't even afford to pay rent now. I saw him in the payday loan office. Man, what a sad story...

[Fights]

Damn! Thats sad... seing all those great fighters go broke.

Why is it that a lot of boxers go broke after they retire?

Lack of Personal Finance savvy.

Sometimes their promoters and managers (like Don King) swindle them out of their earnings.
