In the Daily Mail today sad to read I knew he blew alot of $$$ but didn't know it was this bad, watched a clip on skysports player online and they were at his home and didnt seem that old, he was still in a massive house then don't know if anyone else has seen it, its a trace sports presentation (http://go.sky.com/vod/content/SKYSP...ent/1984/videoDetailsPage.do?after.login=true) here's the mail article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/bo...yfield-retire--Jeff-Powell-boxing-column.html
What a shocking state of affairs. All them women and marriages and all them kids. Like does one child really need $500,000 to live off ? You see these divroce settlements and ex-wifes demanded from their rich husbands £10,000 per week child maitence and stuff like that. Its no wonder that so many rich people go broke. Does 1 child really need £10,000 per month to live off. If he gambled most of it away - then I have no sympathy. But you can understand why Floyd Mayweather never married any of his women - depsite fathering kids with them - he knows they will want more than half in the divorce and he aint putting himself in that position. If your rich and famous - dont marry your women.
He had 11 kids by 5 different women, that's always going to be expensive! Ol Dirty ******* had 13 kids when he died at 36 years old. Bob Marley apparently had over 30 children when he died at the same age. Nothing against big families but that is an awful lot of dependents to pay for! Anyone that makes any money in america is immediately surrounded by vultures hoping to bleed them dry at any opportunity, look at Elvis and Michael Jackson. If you don't have decent people around you you'll be thrown to the wolves.
He could have easily stuck a condom on. He earned more than $300m in his career, now he's got nothing left. A man should manage his own affairs. Yes, he's doubtless been screwed by ex-wives, and random mothers of his other kids, but ultimately, that's his fault too. Don't put yourself in that position.
it is a shame going to nothing, he was one of the ATG and courage beyond belief, but at the end of the day it is his own fault. about 20 years a mate of mine inherited almost a million quid. aged 23, 4-5 years later after numerous cars, motorbikes, holidays, birds, parties, he had a house paid for but nothing else left, this was the days when a million quid was a lot of money,
Don't feel sorry for him. This guy kept preaching about his religion but didn't put it into practise.
He is a follower of that con 'healer' Benny Hinn I think. Holyfield generally believes God wants him to continue! If only they gave him the win over Valuev.
Agree its a ****ing joke I have a little girl and know all about expenses and these ****ing leeches (Ex wife not the kids) getting 10,000 plus a month its a joke something needs to be changed just because they earn alot of money shouldn't allow the EX wife to destroy them financially no matter what the situation there should be a bar set obviously higher than an average persons settlement etc but nowhere near these disgusting figures...
