Did Roy Jones have money issues prior to his exhibition vs. Tyson?

Uhm negative ghost rider. He may have been worth that once upon a time but he is far removed from anything resembling that type of net worth.

I was expecting something about my post. If you looked at the British paper net worth, and scroll down, you'll see that they got everything wrong. The other accounts, and there are many of them, say from $3 mill to $135 mill. They are all crazy. Another says he asked for bankruptcy protection in 2014. That's a normal legal action when BUSINESSES fail. They do not touch PERSONAL assets. Trump has hundreds of businesses and several billion dollars. Yet he does the same thing, because the LAW allows this business protection...Jones had and still has, loads of VERY well paying sponsors including Nike in partnership with Michael Jordan.

Repeat .....BUISNESS PROTECTION

What for you mean by ghost writer. I don't understand your modern internet slang. If you weren't too lazy to look, you'd have been that I'm a member since 2004, -16 years, likely the longest member still posting. Boxing Scene was founded only the year before.

Before ****fighting Jones used to put on dog-fighting in his estate for many years, until the Animal Cruelty Society heard of it and took action against him/ I think ****-fighting is under the same laws.

Forget it, don't respond...Please.

- -Roy richer than anyone here but not mega rich.

Mr Field and Tyson had bankruptcies and lost everything that weren't stolen.

Plus Tyson owed the IRS millions of $. He made the same kind of deal with the IRS that Joe Louis made. Continue fighting and a portion of his pay would go to back taxes. However, he ended up in the same predicament as Louis. He lost and could not fight anymore and win thus he was unable to live up to the agreement he made with the IRS. I do not know where he is now regarding his IRS issues. This was back in the early 2000s.

Sadly they all have money problems, some more than others. Jones, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Tarver...u are about to see the rest coming out of the wood works hoping for exhibition bout paydays to cover child support or other life long obligations held over their head since retirement. It is really sad when I see mostly black boxers end up in the same predicament. The cycle just persists.

Bowe was so much in debt he was at some local flea market selling his boxing memorabilia a few years ago.
Tarver was a degenerate gambler who lost a ton of money. So much Uncle Al had to bail him out of jail once. Holyfield lost a lot of money because he was living beyond his means and he had child support form 11 different kids. I recall the yearly upkeep on his Georgia mansion was millions per year and that drained his fortune.

If so then that is a great Payday to be able get at this stage honestly

Hopefully next up we see Roy back calling fights again now that his HBO Situation is officially over this month. Hopefully he pops up on Showtime and replace Abner Mares (I like Abner but sorry Abner) OR he joins DAZN and he replace Mannix. The Sport needs Jones back calling fights though Immediately!
