IDK if this is true but, I read that Chris Eubank is bankrupt and is living out of a hotel. Apparently he owed 1.3 million to the gov't and had to sell off both his houses. Is there any truth to this, I never heard this before.

That's just insane if that's true.. All the great fighters ending up in the gutter ... It's sad -
I don't think hes broke broke ...but i did read that he was down to his last couple of hundred thousand!
i went to a UFC in manchester and he turned up there....and instead of the crowd singing..."EUBANK EUBANK " like they used to when he fought in the 1990s ....that night the crowd sang "EU -SKINT ..EU-SKINT" !

Yeah, it's true... Loads of expensive toys, messy divorce, run in's with the law, reality TV shows and loads of dough to charity (can't knock him for that)
He's a real character & I sicerely hope he pulls through.. Good luck Chris!Comment

He’s currently residing in Juy’s apartment…Comment

Eubank homeless
Fallen champ is sad loner holed up in hotel
HEYDAY: From a mansion
SAD: To one room in hotel
APART : Chris and ex
By Jennifer Wiley, 12/04/2009
FALLEN millionaire boxer Chris Eubank's money troubles have left him HOMELESS and ALONE.
The once swaggering ex-world middleweight champ has been forced to swap his lavish ways for a sad, lonely life in a hotel room.
The 42-year-old dandy-who earned more than £35million from the ring-has lived at the hotel in Brighton for FOUR MONTHS because he has nowhere else to stay.
Staff say he is a "loner" who sips lime and sodas in the hotel bar, then surfs the internet in his room at night.
Lisping Eubank was a hero to millions of British boxing fans in the 90s.
But he was delivered a knockout blow by the Inland Revenue in 2005, when he was declared bankrupt owing £1.3million in unpaid taxes. Once so rich he used Evian water to wash his hands at petrol stations, Eubank now treats himself to sweets from Tesco's across the street from his £149-a-night MyHotel pad in the Sussex town.
"We don't think of him as a guest any more, he lives here," said one worker. "He'll talk to fans and sign autographs. But we never see him taking a woman up to his room.
"Sometimes he'll get a massage in the hotel spa. Other than that, he keeps to himself."
Eubank was attracted by the hotel's New Age theme. It has a feng shui design to "refresh your soul" and rooms have a decor of crystals and lotus flowers.
He was forced to move there after selling his £4m Brighton mansion and another £850,000 former home in nearby Hove to pay off his debts.
Last year ex-wife Karron, 43, told how Chris had begun globe-trotting to exotic spots. But now he has been deserted by his circle of hangers-on and is having to watch every penny.
A friend told us: "The good times are over and the day of reckoning has finally arrived.
"Chris just drinks Evian now, rather than washing in it."Comment

How can you be homeless but live in a hotel? Even fairly basic hotels are quite costly.Comment
