    he's an idiot! poor man, he only made 40 million.
    he had an amazing chance in life which we'd probably all like, basically he wasted that opportunity through stupidity.

    i get sick of these super rich athletes that end up broke, don't they know about history? they would of heard all the hard-luck stories from the past where a boxer ends up poor.
    that should be a warning light to them. if they don't have the intelligence to learn from others mistakes[and there are plenty of them] then they deserve what they get.
    its their fault, they wasted it.

    "Money" is as reckless a person with his money as I've ever seen. Videos of him lighting cigars with $100 bills, tossing handfuls of $100 bills in the air at clubs, the watches, rings, houses,cars etc. I truly believe with all the money he has made, he will probably not be much better off than Hearns before he is 55-60 years old.

    it isn't their fault really. They earn so much all of a sudden it must be so thrilling to be able to buy cars and make your friends and family happy. I can see why it happens that they spend it all. I would probably do the same if I earned millions with family and friends who I haven't seen or talked to in years coming around asking for money. .
