    Barrera will be more than fine when he has retired. Owns a host of hotels in Mexico City, has his own Gym, and his family were wealthy to begin with.

    He made more money after boxing then he made during boxing. He actually went broke and thats why he came back. After finally retiering he got some luck with the Grilling industry and it snowballed from there.

    Lennox Lewis springs to mind, especially when his chief rivals are broke.

    others seemingly:

    SRL
    George Foreman
    Ricky Hatton
    Arturo Gatti was.
    SNV
    De La Hoya
    Bernard Hopkins will be.

    Kessler, Hopkins and Jones was his biggest pay days i assume..
    Many people is accusing Zaghe for going after Jones late in his career, but hell, why not? It was a good pay day for him and an easy win..
    Lewis did the same thing with Tyson, even tried to lure him into a rematch

    That is entirely due to the Grill money and his comeback somewhat. And to imagine he wasn't even the first person they contacted about sponsoring the Grills.

    They actually went to Hulk Hogan first but he turned them down saying it would never make money.

    That grill made George a millionaire and launched his empire of big and tall clothing.

    Larry HOlmes is doing well.
    Micheal Spinx is still wealthy
    Lennox Lewis is doing well
    Paul Williams is supposedly doing well (hopefully he retires)
    Oscar De La Hoya

    i know larry holmes is still very wealthy,, he owns appartments, buildings, nightclubs and half of his hometown. all this despite being involved with don king.
    lennox lewis is doing well also, lives in montego bay, jamacia. but lennox has always been a quiet sensible guy, not into partying, drink, drugs, women, so that explains it a bit.
