    child support ! I don't buy all that bull**** he talk about still wanting to fight and become the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Even Evander himself knows that will never happen ! He's gonna keep fighting as long as he is aloud to

    How can he still be paying his damn mortage? He'd earned $150m a decade ago.

    he should not even have a mortgage with all of the money he has made in his career. Everything he has should be payed for.

    That is one heck of a house. Damn!

    The thing is, with today's technology (I'm talking Evan Fields and BALCO type stuff here), Holyfield can still be fit and look like a brickhouse even if his speed, reflexes and cardio are long gone. If there's nothing grossly wrong with him (though his speech seems to have suffered), it's hard for the commissions to turn him down, I guess.

    He's got to get his finances and lifestyle together, though. I've always liked him a lot, but the 5,000 kids thing is ridiculous.

    Holyfield's hall resembles Scarface's, except the decor is a little more tasteful.

    I have a feeling his $$$ problems are worse than Tyson's. He should just sell that mansion and try to live a manageable existence.
