Comments Thread For: Evander Holyfield is Feeling The Heat From Huge Debt

[PunchyPotorff]

I laugh when I read people have no sympathy for Holyfield. Judges in GA flat out **** guys when it comes time for divorce settlements, child support etc etc. And Evander isn't a Rhodes scholar anyway, nor are many athletes. I wish the guy well. I was at the Omni in Atlanta when he won his first title at cruiserweight, and have been a fan since. I know he should retire, and I would imagine he knows it too, but when you have bills you haveta work. And what else can he do to make some money?

Many people dont GAF about the next mans well being and almost feel its
what he deserves for living a good life. A life time losing streak is painful.

Remind me to never cheat on my wife! Don't **** with a ***** man they got no sympathy. A man might cheat on u but he would never take u for everything u have and watch u ****ing hook or work ur ass off killing urself just to pay off debt and live broke the rest of ur life...that's still the father of ur child. What a hoe

Very upsetting. Its just a ****ty situation on so many levels...These woman were made to feel that they were entitled to something....Holyfield obviously cannot afford these payments....who could? Why don't we have a system where a man and a woman are made to work out a constructive settlement for the kids? Why are these payments based on the percieved income of the father? Very destructive....the elites pulling apart families and no doubt, having a good laugh at the bastardmaker all the while. Hey Evander make another bastard you bastard maker you!! now pay the ***** for the bastard yeaaaaaaaaah! pay the other ***** 2 go on! Hey!!!! don't forget the IRS you bastard maker you!!!! Now go chase the Klits around!! Ask them for a fight....a bastard maker special...A two brother beatdown for the price of one!!!!

I have no sympathy for any athlete tha makes millions & squanders it in foolhardy ways,let them deal( Real Deal, huh! good xample, like that house he HAD) with it....if he gets 250k 4 the bout after taxes & xpenses he won't get 12-kk 2 pay back... Like Tyson working 4 pennies & selliing images of his facial tatoo on t-shirts, that's an income...wonder how many BMW's he wrecked while boxing??I know of 3...deal w/it...

What about bankruptcy? Is that an option?

[radioraheem]

I knew when he was in his PRIME he would have to fight for a long time when I heard how many kids he have, just too much kids and you have to take care of all of them until they are 18

He better hope a few of them can become great Boxers like he was and they will be able to take care of him when he retires

Child Support and Divorces is what make a lot of Athletes go BROKE!

Until they are 18? In some states, you gotta keep paying til they turn 21!

[silentscoper]

I still have zero sympathy for a guy who has blown over $400,000,000!

Has it really been that much? If true that is unreal.

No. Tyson didn't even make that much and he was way more popular. Holyfield made nowhere close to $400 million. Not even $100 million.

He should have some more kids.
