I do know up untill the creation of Golden Boy Productions...DLH had made a Whopping $665,000,000 off of purses and promotional items (boxing related only could not say anything about his glorious career as a singer ::**)

Mike Tyson, has to have SPENT the most money of any fighters ever. How in the F*** do you go negative from $335,000,000 ? I don't make very much money, but I still have money to save every week. It really boggles my mind.

Thats because guys like you and me know we need to save money...Guys like that figure "well if I spend it all I'll just go KO a bum and put another 20 mil in my pocket" :D

But seriously it is not as hard as you would think....especially when you have heangers on that are sucking every penny from you...Buying 10 and 12 cars in excess of $100,000

$10,000,000 homes....$20,000 watches ect...then the IRS!!!!!...Also what they made and what they keep are two different things....$335,000,000...means $200,000,000 after expenses and paychecks...plus Tyson never really invested in anything to generate more money...


OH YEAH 2 EX-WIVES DON'T HELP!!!!!!

It isn't like he is penniless though once you get that rich broke is when you only have 2 million left and the IRS can't touch it once you get to a certin amont...You have to be allowd to live in a lifestyle somewhat acustomed to living...?....All sound crazy..

Add on "alledgedly" 10 years of grade A cocaine every day. There's no way Tyson ain't a cocaine addict. A little birdie told me he was doing foot long lines before he faught Holyfield in the rematch.

Yes Speck, Saw that thought it was qiute good.

I also liked it very much.

Last I read ODLH has made over $220 million in purses.

And in 2004 DLH had

De La Hoya...He has Racked up $400,000,000+

After that I am not sure....

I do know up untill the creation of Golden Boy Productions...DLH had made a Whopping $665,000,000 off of purses and promotional items (boxing related only could not say anything about his glorious career as a singer ::**)

Of course they have both fought since then I ust remember those numbers because they were so astonishing...and like I said it was from boxing only not outside interest?....Right or wrong I dont know but I am sure the numbers are close

How you ask? Thats easy....
3 mansions
15 cars (The most expensive)
1 white tiger
5 security guards
4 Lawyers
and the biggest cash eating machine EVER Don King.... ;)

I think tyson, Ali, Foreman because of the grill, OScar de la Hoya of course, Tito made good money as well and of course as well Sugar Ray Leonard.


Fighters tha can make money but some are not there yet or people hate them so much or what ever.

Cotto, PBF, Vladi, Hopkings was lucky when Tito decide to fight him and make him popular but he was too late but he as smart as he is he make partners with Golden Boy

When Tyson filed for bankruptcy, ESPN reported what he had spent all his money on, the usual suspects and whatever but according to them..h spent half a million dollars on CELL PHONE BILLS.
