    An interview he did said he had no money left from his boxing days and he spoke about how he thought he was ripped off by promoters/mangers etc.

    People change, i know lots of guys that were loose cannons when they were young before maturing into fine men.

    Me too John. In fact, once I mature into a fine man, I'll be one of them. Having turned 41 yesterday, it shouldn't be too much longer now ;)

    Right but that does not mean he's destitute like a Rocky Lockridge or a Meldrick Taylor were .. at least hopefully. He seems well dressed, well groomed, was wearing expensive rimless glasses and seems to have reinvented himself as a PI and a trained ... unfortunately so few of them save anything but that;'s a very old story.

    The interview is on YouTube or at least it was and he basically stated he was broke.
    Destitute and broke are two different things.
    Lockridge was actually homeless while Moore is not.

    Your point was he was in a bad place and mine is that he isn’t. Bottom line.

    My point was and still is was that Moore is on record as having said he has no money he made from boxing and then Moore goes on to explain that promoters/managers take alot more money from boxers then people realize. The interview took place in 2020.
    Today he is supposedly an armed security guard.
