    What Boxers are broke now besides Holyfield, Tyson, and Bowe? Also which ones do you think will be broke/bankrupt in the future and why? It's sad that Boxers that make that much money can go broke. I think the Boxing industry needs to give Boxers a class on how to PROPERLY manage their money.

    Why do you care about other people's finances?

    Broner for sure he doesn't have the money he trys to make out the life he tries to lead isn't backed up with finance. IDK about Manny depends if he can get away from TR before his career is over. Also he is congressman and could well one day be president so idk about him. Floyd possible in about 20 years if he doesn't tone down the gambling and excessive spending but i doubt he will go fully broke. I'm not being racist but you have to admit the ones who go broke tend to be the black Americans from the streets. They clearly can't manage money well or spend way to much. Like was mentioned i highly doubt JMM, Cotto, Barrera and the likes will go broke they manage their money well.

    They all should follow the Larry Holmes business model.

    George Foreman at one stage was on the verge of bankruptcy , then the comeback plus other buisness deals and $150 million dollars from the grilling machine means he now has $200 million + fortune

    I heard recently Iran Barkley was homeless. Roberto Duran made a fortune but gave so much away. I think Henry Armstrong ended up blind, broke and homeless unfortunately. SRR and Joe Louis died with little money left. Sad really, poor advice, hangers on and simply a lack of business sense are the main reasons they go broke.
