    $31,000,000

    That was only in 1998, how on earth did he manage to **** away that much so quickly, especially when you add in that he must have made a few quid from fighting the likes of Eubank, Maske x2, Nunn, Michalczewski x2

    Plus the WBC was supposedly paying him in installments over 7 years?

    He had a bad-boy rep in past. But losing tens of millions in a few years isn't bad ass. It's called stupid ass ****.

    Damn, that's his fault.

    I feel bad for the guys who fight for ten or fifteen years and never make more than 50 K for a fight and end up broke, but for someone like this or Tyson or Holyfield I don't have a lick of sympathy.


    Pavel Wollack will never be a great fighter but he'll be financially secure for the rest of his life because he invests what he makes and works full time between training camps. More guys need to take a leaf out of his book instead of quitting their day jobs the first time they get a fight on ESPN.

    Oh, man. I always feel bad for guys that get paid tens of millions in their lifetimes. Because, if they'd had the opportunities that us billionaires had, they could keep their heads above water, you know? Poor *******s. :verysad Here's hoping he catches a real break, somewhere.

    Hey, Maske gave Virgil Hill a rematch, why not give Rocchi one for old times sake.
