Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Financial Issues Explained By Promoter

[Nomadic]

Climb out of one debt into another persons pocket. What's the difference? Instead of boxing for pride he now a slave.

No, every black fighter needs Al Hymon. None of the fighters advised by Al Haymon should ever have to experience bankruptcy because he educates them about the importance of money management and making wise decisions.

possibly the dumbest statement ever. Al Slime Haymon is nothing more thana skinny greedy dimwitted harlem pimp who collects dumb fighters to work as field hands on the pimp Haymon's slimy boxing plantation. Haymon cannot give finacial advice or career guidance just take what the skinny greedy haymon can collect from his field hands fighting under the Haymon hooker umbrella. There is no difference between street walkers out for a dollar and boxers who fight under the sewer rat skinny buck toothed haymon.

These Guys Have Such Gangster Egos You Can't Advise Them Anything

They should all seek financial counsel from Ray Leonard who was advised by the best, lived off only the interest to his earnings never touching his principle, not buying mansions and cars, etc. extremely wealthy today. Roy, Evander, Tyson And the list is long to guys that never had a clue about money. Floyds day is coming; don't think for a second he'll be any different just for having made more money than the rest. His blatant ego will get the best of him. Stay tuned.

Exactly. Ray had Mike Trainer, a white guy handling his business/fianances, and he's still worth millions upon millions to this day. As someone earlier said, if black boxers had white men handling their money, they'd be A LOT better off. I know that might sound racist, but let's face it folks: It's the truth. Two immdediate examples come to mind:

1)Mike Tyson: Was robbed blind by his "friends" John Horne and Rory Holloway. They along with Don King robbed Tyson of MILLIONS of dollars. Some friends.

2)Michael Spinks. Was robbed blind by his manager, and didn't find out, until his manager died, and he went to collect his money.

So much for us "white devils" (as Don King would say) huh?

Even Frank Warren isn't as bad as these crooks. (Although he's a crook as well.)

White has nothing to do with it. Would you be happy with Bob Arum or Bernie Madoff in charge of your money? Or Kenneth Lay?

Black boxers need to have competent and trustworthy people handling their finances, period. Skin color should not be a factor at all.

***s are the best and they're white

Damn I always figured Roy was smarter than that. Even when he stopped making big money on fights, he always had the job at HBO, also owned various businesses, gyms. Terrible.

[Fetta]

Not the first or the last.

He was one of my favorites so I hope he gets it together without having to take punishment

Skin color shouldn't be a factor, but more often than not it is. Tyson was doing a lot better when he had Cayton and Jacobs managing than Don King, right?

That GOAT was too busy sending **** picks to his mistresses to handle his business. Wonder if he blew all his money on girls like Mosley. Damn shame.
