      This is what you get for living in a castle and paying child support to a dozen kids.

          Love how you refer to it as a castle. I refer to it by its' Biblical name "The Holy Fortress".

              No surprise, this guy was paying $1 Million a year just for maintenance alone on that 'house' of his.

                Sad that he is broke. Sure is not a great feeling having nothing. But that being said I wish him the best from now on out.

                  I agree.He made more money than any fighter in history, countless millions. Just take 10 of those millions and invest it or just stick it in the bank. Nobody spends huge amounts of money better than some boxers. If he had set 10 million aside he would probably figure out how to blow it in less than a year. Tyson has learned to make a good living off his name and seems to have learned not to spend so much.Holyfield owes lots of money for child support I guess. I don't know the details. The hard working poor man has to plan for his future and multi millionair athletes and show business people must do the same.

                      Reminds of the Thomas Hearns auction a couple years back to pay off his IRS bill. Check out some of the things he tried to sell to make the cash:



                      I know it's his own doing but pretty sad to see a five division champion auctioning AA batteries.
