I heard this on "In this Corner" on TSN and had to check it out. "Liens for unpaid taxes filed against Hearns SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (AP)Former boxing champ Thomas Hitman Hearns owes the federal government more than a quarter-million dollars in unpaid income taxes. The Detroit News reported Friday on its Web site that liens filed in Oakland County state that Hearns and wife Renee owe nearly $268,000 in federal taxes from 2004-06. Attorney Michael J. Smith told the newspaper that the 49-year-old Hearns disputes the debt and is working with the Internal Revenue Service to resolve it. The seven-time world champion is a Detroit native and currently lives in Southfield. Hearns held WBA, WBC, WBU and IBO titles ranging from the welterweight to cruiserweight divisions between 1980 and 1999. His three-round loss to Marvin Hagler for the middleweight title in 1985 is generally considered one of the best bouts in boxing history." First Evander is in danger of losing his house and now Tommy's in trouble? Did anyone else hear about this?
.argh..! reminds me of joe louis' case. he had to fight more even when hes past it because of tax troubles, and he died pennyless
damn. hearns is one of the good guys in boxing. sad to see this happen to him. i always thought he managed his finances well in retirement too.
It would be very sad if Hearns also is in money trouble.. But it is one thing to argue about how much you shall pay in taxes to being broke... I hope he will be fine.
i dont feel bad for people that make millions and can't pay taxes....you guys think they sit up and feel sorry for you if you can't make ends?
