    Happens to most boxers. They don't know how to hold onto their money.

    Roy lost alot of his fortune to the Music business.

    His HBO gig pays 500k a year.

    I have limited knowlege of the US tax system, but it seems to **** it's athletes in the arse to no end. Look what became of Joe Louis.

    How could he be broke?

    He just promoted the entire card for the last Friday Night Fights? Certainly, as always, other promoters were involved, but he was the primary.

    Anyway, even in a state of "bankruptcy", he could still be worth more than 99% of us will ever be.

    If you make tens of millions of dollars and go broke, that's your own ****ing fault, not the taxmans.

    Even if he is in a cash crunch...he surely has a bunch of assets. Im sure he will be fine.
