    Disturbing news. Tommy is only 67 but clearly has some vile family members out to exploit him and degrade him in his older age in order to earn ill gotten gains.

    Ronald Hearns thankfully is now taking charge.

    The news he lost his home due to unpaid tax is shocking. Tommy apart from.always being a smartly dressed gentleman was famous for his frugality and being smart with money and he didnt have a messy personal life. When Emmanuel Steward started claiming 40 % of his money he walked.

    Sad news coupled with recent news on Marlon Starling

    Unfortunately Thomas Hearns has been broke for 20 plus years actually. He was just the opposite of "frugal" as friends and family have been taking advantage of him since day 1. Tommy just could never say No to anybody and he paid the price for it. Taking care of everyone. He has owed the IRS money forever and had to auction off all of his boxing memorabilia because of it. He never dodged his problem or put the blame on others and has worked with the IRS to pay off what he owes.

    Sad to hear vultures still are circling to fight over what is left, which isnt much is my guess. I hope the best for Hearns. He will need whats left for his care.

    It is sad.
    Wish their were more people like Gerald McCellan's sister who has taken care of her brother for 30 years. She also is helping now with Benitez and giving them care they need.

    Is Hearn's condition due to boxing. I guess it would have to be.He's rather young. What does that mean that his son has to take care of him?Because he cannot make decision??

    67 is young for dementia.
