    Not me, I'm afraid.

    Despite Ruan losing he's got something good to tell his grandkids about. Not everybody can say they've stepped in a ring with someone like Barry McGuigan.

    Marciano, I believe, used to hide his money.

    Holyfield's broker than ****. The IRS has been threatening to take away his house for years.

    When he was on FNF a few months ago, they mentioned that Jake LaMotta was still living comfortably.

    Notoriously stingy and greedy. He ripped off Brett Hart's dad for a lot of money after making an appearance at a wrestling show.

    Big George was on the record though saying that he only came back for Moorer because he was broke.

    Foreman later made a lot of money with marketing/merchandising (the Foreman grill etc.), not so much inside the ring.

    Bowe filed for bankruptcy years ago. He is broke. That is why he continues to "fight"

    He must have been kidding around. Holmes is worth millions. He practically owns Easton, Pennsylvania.

    Ike Quartey
    Marvin Hagler
    Regillio Tuur
    Henry Maske

    These guys are all still very comfortable and have become quite successful business men from what I have heard.

    Henry Maske definitely is doing well.

    - He supposedly is the sole proprietor of 4-5 McDonald's fast food joints in Germany.
    - Got millions throughout his career and another bundle in the more recent Hill rematch
    - Has a boxing commentator contract with one of the biggest German TV stations
    - Now is shooting a film depicting the life of German heavyweight Max Schmeling, acting as the lead actor in a big budget production (hint: Abraham supposedly also has a tiny tole in the film, as one of Schmeling's opponents!). See http://www.bild.de/BILD/sport/fotos...eId=renderScaled,property=Bild,height=349.jpg for a picture of Maske during shooting, with full makeup.
