    Exactly. Why kick a man when he is down!

    He is responsole for it, but not having a pre-nup was a mistake.

    Don't think anyone is really kicking him, just too shocked about it.

    damn. why does it always happen to boxers. but on the brighter side of things, i'm sure the difference between "holyfield broke" and "ordinary joe broke" is millions of dollars. if his name was as cashable as tyson's, i'm sure the guy would still get paid good to make public appearances.

    Well some people are not supposed to have a lot of money, but if you get some money you can apparently be sure as the legal system is working that if you make a wind in the wrong place or at the wrong time, then there will people that will sue your ass. Those bitches that are suing him probably got away with millions each but if they didnt let their lawers have most of it. Now they sue him for 6.000 USD the are just a bunch of prostitutes.
    But it for sure shows that just because you can box, and get a pig payday doesnt mean that you have any clue on how to handle money.

    Yeah I was going to say that. Evander wasnt a fighter that I thought would ever have money issues. Tyson wasnt a shock.

    "Victim" is one way you can call it. "Sheer stupidity" would be a more appropriate term.


    At least he did conform to the Christian way against condoms.

    **** like this happens all the time because some people cant look after money if their lives depended on it. First he has 100 kids and by diffrent women and if he gambles then that drains your money pretty quick.

    This also would have happened because he coulndt look after the pennies and it builds up, doesnt matter who it is loooking after your money whether its your friends or even your family if they start stealing $1 they move up to $10 then to $100 and before you know it theres nothing left in the pot.

    Because he was mixing with high society. It's a status thing...keeping up with the Jones'.
    When your friends are all multi-millionaires, you're gonna feel mighty stupid with your modest (by his standards) 12 room house and BMW in the garage.
    You're gonna want the 125 room house, the Merc, BMW, Porsche, Hummer and Ferrari in the hangar, because that's what your friends have.

    Anyway, it's sad but one can't help but be astonished that a man can make so much money and lose it all. Then again, all these financial 'advisors' probably were skimming off the top, exacerbating the situation.

    I really find this hard to believe....I'm sure he has money and assets....Tyson the same...regardless of his bankrupcy a few years ago that guy still lives in luxury...definately no peasant.

    If its at all possible that Tyson and Holyfield are really genuinley broke...and to repeat I dont believe it! Then they have to be amongst the dumbest people to have ever walked this earth.
