RIDDICK BOWE, In the fight of his life

Don't speak on it until you have had that much money to F up. After taxes and sharks start separating you from your money, unless you are one of the brightest you are back to square one.

 

Please. You don't have to be the brightest person to keep $15 million.

 

So say the guy actually got to keep exactly half. That's $7.5 million.

Let's average that out to 20 years. That's $375K per year. :rofl

 

Shut up. If you are in a western nation you are probably one of the top 3% richest of people on the planet. WTF do you have to show for it?

So like I said, it is hard to know how to maintain and grow capital. Especially a guy from a hard knock background who he and nobody he knows ever had anything. When you don't have knowledge of these things you are completely unable to tell good decisions from bad ones and your heart compels you to do for the ones you love. It quickly dwindles away.

Until you are able to produce results of being in the top 3% of earners on the planet? Don't judge.

 

Look, Bowe is the exception and not the rule. It's not like every athlete who makes that much money is broke. He's the rare case. That's why i have no sympathy for him. There are tons of professional athletes from all different sports who made as much as he did. You don't hear about them going broke. :rofl

 

are you blind or just know **** about boxing :huh

look at his moves back then, ability to avoid punches, counter punches (few :yep it took less then 2min) he was such a great finisher

 

You are the exception and not the rule. Like I said, you are in the top 3% of humans on the planet. What do you have to show for it? Talking to you it is obvious you have crap to show for it.

What other sport so clearly gives your MASSIVE brain damage? You think slurred speech is the only price to pay? These guys get slow and strange and can't focus. After getting to the elite level the brain damage is so severe that he probably couldn't make these decisions. Maybe if you boxed you would know?

Anyway tons of guys go broke and are selling used cars after the NFL, MLB, etc... The difference is that the NFL is a singular machine that keeps the press from showing you the horror and sad stories. Talk too much and they black list you.

With fans like you Boxing doesn't need enemies. You are a beautiful human being. :good

 

A bum that beats an ATG fighter like Holyfield 2/3 times? So then... what are you?

 

For boxing it's different. In boxing he is not an exception. You clearly don't know your history. And your comments are laughable. He's not as far-gone as Taylor is in terms of brain-damage but Bowe has brain-damage. If that doesn't give you sympathy than you're a cruel boxing fan who has no empathy for the fighters and what they sometimes go through.

 

Nope, you gullible guys who pity him are the dicks.
You actually sympathise with a guy who made $15 million and blew it?:roll:
Why exactly?

Many of us think thats just plain dumb.
I certainly do.

 

Bowe was an idiot for blowing his money on booze, drugs and women.

 

No. Something like 75% of professional athletes end up broke.

 

Saids who? You?

 

Another one... If you are in a western country you are among the richest 3% on the planet. What do you have to show for it?

Hell with all the free education laying around in western nations you can't even spell.

You guys are hilarious.

 

I wouldn't say I feel sorry for boxers who spend all their millions, I'd just say they are sad stories and I hope fighters can learn from them. Although that may just be wishful thinking. For instance, Manny Pacquiao. He makes a shitload of money, but I recently read a report that said his entourage is about to reach 200 people. :-(

It's the same old story in boxing.

Iran Barkley made millions, now he still lives in the same South Bronx projects that he grew up in.

Sugar Ray Robinson was an extremely business oriented person, yet he was fighting at 44 years old because he was broke. Joe Louis was broke. Mike Tyson, Thomas Hearns, & Evander Holyfield have money problems. Beau Jack ended up shining shoes after his career was done.
