With rumours now circulating that Floyd mayweather may be in financial trouble, I got thinking about how great boxers who make million upon million of dollars manage to lose it all.
I know they pay a lot in taxes compared to lower earners but so do other sportsmen yet it's always boxers making the news for losing theri fortune.
An example that always sticks in my mind is Tyson. I once read that he had career earnings exceeding $270 million. I know he lost some to the bitch and then in court battles and so on but $270 million?
And now there is Holyfield who set the record for PPV sales before ODLH beat it and apparently he has fallen on hard times! HOW Who next? Oscar?
Is it that they get all their sense knocked out in the ring? I really can't get my head round how often this happens in boxing.
