    Holyfield earned the money he's made in his career. Why? Simply because noone else could've done what he's done, which goes for every great fighter. As such he deserves to live comfortably in his later years. In reality if you make that much money you can ****ing support 13 kids from various relationships. It may not be the usual way but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. This dude's been a victim of financial mismanagement and exploitation.

          At the end of the Day Evander should have been smarter with his money.

          But guess what... He didnt have any guidance in that department..and when he would inquire about help with finances thats when vultures come...what uncle..cousin...etc was he going to go to for help with that.


          Also...the legal system scam makes millions off guys like holy....1 million dollars could take care of 40 kids let alone 13.... the system is biased in favor of women.

          He's going to fight some more and hopefully handle the money correctly maybe invest in some businesses.

            This harkens to a system which is created both on false and, more prudently, outdated pretexts.

            It is certainly the case that women deserve their due in a marriage relationship, and when all of the stars align things are intended to be 50/50. However the theories on which the present system is based presuppose that both sides are contributing 50%, irregardless of what the reality may be. Next, if you consider the reality that marriage this day and age is rarely, and decreasingly, conducted according to this framework, the entire scam begins to take form. Not to mention all of the attorneys who are punching their meal tickets with this racket, who are really themselves at the heart of the entire thing.

            Holy doesn't deserve this ****, but he's a real man and trying to take care of his problems.

                  Not really. He's very easy to understand, but his grammar is terrible, like nearly all professional athletes from poor backgrounds. You want to hear inaudible, listen to Devin Hester.

                    Well, what exactly the **** else is he suppose to do? Become a chef or something?

                    They said he's earning 25-30k for public speaking. It would be nice if the dude didn't have to fight anymore and could just live comfortably. However, he seems like a logical mother****a, I'll give him that. He knows what he's doing here I think.
