    He was driving a Honda CBR 1000RR its one of the best bikes Honda makes but it's nothing "super". It only goes for $11,500 brand new. I have two.

    There was an ESPN.com article last year, I think, that detailed the financial troubles of Diego. It stated that he was in deep financial debt, including owing money on cash advances he had taken from his promoter. I'll have to try to find the article to get specifics, but I remember e-mailing the article to friends to show them just how much of a boxers purse is eaten up before he gets his cut.

    I agree this is ****ing ******ed...everytime a boxer dies, it's "lets help their family" who wouldn't be able to survive off of the 3 million per fight salaries their husbands leave...sell your ****ing three houses, eight cars, and two boats for God's sake. When a military members spouse dies, they get a check for 250 grand which is taxed and used to bury their loved ones...then they are told to take care of your finances and kids for the next 60 years with what ever the hell you have left...I'm not buying a shirt (for ****ing $30 I might add) to support someone's Gucci fetish

    He owed quite a bit of money, including a large amount to the IRS. Shaw raped him financially for years. Unfortunately, there are many fighters who are not educated enough to know when they are being ****ed over money-wise. Chico wasn't the first, and he won't be the last.

    I think what my fellow are tryin to say is that "official" boxing websites would have made something about that. When it is about helping boxers family, f***news or *****news are always on the scene.
    That's why some people are a little cautious. I don't mind helpin Diego's family but if my money is on the line I would rather make sure it goes to the good person and not some opportunist *******s.

    Who's ****ing problem was that...I mean he was on his brand new 2007 bike when he wrecked. If I died today no one would give my hard working ass or my family ****, let alone buy a shirt with my face on it. He has made millions in his life, I don't even think I've made half a million in mine. The point in this post isn't arguing about respecting his legacy in the ring or respecting his family in their time of mourning it's about the fact that it's not the average joe's responsibility to provide for someone who didn't invest in his families future. I make 50 grand a year and have 2 life insurances that value a 1 million, i take care of mine with a fraction of his paycheck. He squandered it...point blank.

    I am sorry it is a public forum so everyone has the right to give his opinion whether they are right or wrong.

    I know that she would get Castillo's money for Hatton but my question is WHY?

    It's ridiculous, Castillo lost money too because the third fight didn't happen.

    I'm not hating on Corrales or his wife, but seriously, it's just not right.

    Could anyone explain why she should get that money?
