So sad when you see these legends who have made millions throughout there career end up like this.
Sad, most of the time these athletes are not very business/finance savy, as opposed to the big wigs on wall street who get away without paying taxes for years and end up only paying coins on the dollar in the end. First thing these guys should do when they make some real money is hire some accountant pay em some good money so they don't end up with shit like this...
They do hire accountants but they cant just put 100% trust in them, or they will be the ones that rob you blind or make bad decisions with your money. You have to stay involved, sign your own checks and know what you are paying for.Quote:

One of the stories indicate that Hearns made over 40 million dollars in his career. Its probably true, but it seems kind of low when considering that ODLH and Mayweather have made that in one fight.
Nothing low about 40 millionQuote:

I just looked at all the lots and he doesn't have $400,000 worth of goods to sell, the fountain boat is the most valuable item and I'm about 20 miles away so I'm riding down tomorrow to check it all out. I'm looking for a pair of used jet ski's so maybe I'll bid on Saturday but I hope he's not expecting premium prices, not that it matters since it's a no reserve auction, I wish him luck though.
That's not far from where I work. I might swoop by to see if they have a belt or something there for auction. I won't be buying anything, though.
I wonder what he burned up all his cash on. He lives in Southfield and that's not the most expensive place to live. He son drives a HUGE SUV and so far he hasn't put that law degree of his to use. I mean, Tommy had to have financed Ronald's lifestyle, right?
That's sad to see. Boxers always seem to have issues keeping the house in order and preparing for the rainy days. He'll be announcing his comeback next. :-\
He did fight back in '06 or '07. Granted it was a fat, slow guy with no power, but he was still in the ring. I'd like to see him train, but Hearns would have to work on his speech. You can't have a guy whose ears are ringing from being punched in the head trying to figure out what the hell Tommy is saying to him.Quote:

Why's he worried, he was a warrior in the ring and gave the fans great shows, just pull out your legacy card and pay your bills with that. Or i know there's is a fan fund somewhere that will take care of all his bills for him, or will those same fans just sit around and talk shit about the guy for blowing his money this that and the other......or is he thnking hhhmmm maybe those fighting for so called " only money" might have been pretty smart. Legacy doesn't pay shit, don't belive me ask tommy i'll bet he'll agree with me now.
No doubt. I'm sure Hearns told the IRS "I'm Thomas Muthafukking Hearns" (I would of). IRS said "And? We the IR muthafukkin S. Give us are damn money"Quote:

I talked to him today at the auction house about his 57 Chevy and the jet ski's, he came there to pick up one of his fishing boats that he decided to keep, he really had nothing their of any significant value. I didn't see any belts but a lot of robes, trunks, boxing gloves and such. Still a humble friendly guy.
here's his home with a birds eye view.
