    I don't understand athletes that earn ridiculous amounts of money over their careers that end up owing the IRS, or worse yet, going flat broke in a few years time after retiring. If they make that kind of money, hire a damn CPA or money manager to handle that aspect of your finances. However, keep a close eye on them in the meantime so THEY don't rob you blind. And get rid of all the leech parasite hanger's on that pat you on the back and tell you how great you are/were.

    Maybe his self-financed hip hop career has cost him money? Just speculating.

    Speaking of fighters with IRS problems, it's old news that Mayweather is also being hounded by them. I predict that "Money" Mayweather will be out of money before he hits 50 years of age unless he fights Pacquaio for a nice little added nest egg. That's the only fight that will guarantee him the kind of money he will likely make if he inks the paper.
