    Manny won't go broke, his lifestyle has been questionable but he has alot of different businesses and sources of income. He's not investing on dumb things like a failed Rap Record label. Not to mention his endorsements and sponsors

    unlike Floyd who sells folders and stickers

              i agree that the klitschko brothers wont go broke. But pacquiao will definitely go broke because he lets other people control his career. arum and koncz. there is a reason he is still fighting and its not because of legacy or love for the sport. he needs the money. there is a reason de la hoya and mayweather made more money without arum, than they ever did with arum. manny pacquiao better take over his own career if he wants financial stability down the line

                African American boxers are most likely to go broke, if they're apart of the hip hop community, and have a bunch of groupies/leaches.

                Always gotta stunt at the clubs. One up the next guy. Buy the newest, freshest accessories. List goes on and on. When you come from nothing, then you're going to want to show your wealth.

                Before someone says, "But what about guys from Europe, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, etc.?"

                Their culture isn't like America's "bling bling" culture. Of course, some are, but it's mainly African American athletes that are apart of the "hip hop" culture.

                    So boxing is the only source of income for him?
                    You guys should seriously go to the Philippines then and try to not see his face somewhere.
                    He has another show and even his own line of freaking energy drinks..... while having a job on the side where he basically does nothing.
