Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Officially Granted Citizenship in Russia

[animalfan10]

Tyson and Jones seem to be very popular fighters in Eastern Europe

When ever they ask any Eastern Euro fighter who is their favorite boxer it seems to always be either Tyson or Jones....

He's a dual citizen, meaning the IRS can try to grab his US assets or US based income. Remember he still does things like US based commentating.

He can definitely cheat if he wants though. But him getting Russian citizenship isn't about trying to cheat tax.

Word is he's been in trouble with the IRS for quite some time and he isn't making enough on these low key fights to keep up so there's a good chance his assets already belong to govt/banks

Starting at 0 and getting a few lucrative fights and retiring would be better than digging out of negative 4 million

Alas I don't really know, just speculating

Russia is at war with Ukraine.

Vitali and Wladmir are Unkraine citizens.

Roy Jones is a Russian.

Therefore...Jones at war with Wladmir/Vitali.

Civilians are exempt if not imune to war. Cut throat business is another story.

Our Mayor was born in New York and he still has to pay taxes to the USA lol, he didn't like it but he can't do sh:t about it.

The tax man will break you to keep you in place, while the rich pay little if any tax. The fact that taxes aren't fair and convoluted promotes evasion. If you get a chance to cheat, they make sure you have the will.
