is joshua clottey broke?

[Hannibal Barca]

Well it doesn't surprise me, that was a pretty pathetic move, using a poor child for that kind of ****, I hate that.

Be quiet. You don't know what you're talking about.

[El 7 Mares V.2]

Be quiet. You don't know what you're talking about.

Man get the **** outta here.

Clottey isnt poor like he would want people to believe, According to people who are close to him he goes to Ghana and flash money about just like Ike Quartey use to do.

[Bennett]

cuz clottey doesn't have a history of coming over the agreed upon weight.

neither does floyd. 1x does not constitute a 'history'

[Bennett]

The conditions of how his little daughter lives in Africa was pretty shocking to me, then again he might be providing food for the table and clothes but man the poor kid was living in a shack, that was pretty bizzarre, why not bringing her to the US at least?

because he's broke---look at his crib. that place is a ****ing dump.

[Bennett]

He's getting paid a million dollars and the average workers wage is around $40,000 in the United States.

avg worker wage is 25k/year. where did you get 40 from?

[Bennett]

He has plenty. He made a couple hundred grand against Judah, about the same against Margarito. A little under a million against Cotto, and will be making one million straight cash on Saturday plus a slice of the pay per view.

no not straight cash. arum gets 28% of pacs purse and considering clottey is like 2nd tier arum prob gets 25%. After taxes, advances, corner, manager, promoter etc gets their slice Clottey will have like around < 300k. the tax bracket for a million dollars/year is like 42%-49%. Half goes to uncle sam, arum gets approx a 3rd so thats like -150k approx. so thats like 350k. trust me he'll be like taking home 250k about. who said he's getting slice of ppv? havent read that anywwher

[Bennett]

That is exactly what it was. If you think she was living there your crazy. Joshua is a millionaire.

no a ****ing chance. if he was a millionaire you think hed be living like a squatter?

[Jim Tom]

his apartment was smaller than my room and his daughters house in ghana was cement block with a zinc roof. I dont understand how he's not wealthy.

Not true,Clottey has a massive house in Ghana.He might have a small New York apartment because he probablt considers Ghana home

[norrin]

Everyone assumes that boxers are rich but they have a lot of expenses. Bennett's post is a good example of some of their expenses. As you know Floyd M. had to borrow money from GBP before his fight with Marquez. Manny had to borrow money from Arum before his fight with Clottey for political expenses. It is also well documented of other top tier fighters blowing through their money i.e. Holyfield, Tyson, Spinks, DLH (at one point), Holmes, Ali (at one point). The only rich people are the big name promoters.
