James Toney weighs in at 248

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

It's sad, isn't it? These boxers are given all this money to beat the crap out of each other in the ring, but they're never given the knowledge on how to maintain their finances. That's what ends up getting the lot of them. That's one of the things I always liked about Marciano. He held onto his money, and had enough to live the rest of his life very comfortably.

It seems Toney owes a lot. Considering what he has earned over the years, he kind of deserves what he gets. That is a really cruel thing to say though. People need to be responsible for themselves and Toney seems to have fucked up.

Boxer's aren't known for being the brightest, usually. I guess I'm sort of sympathetic in that aspect. But you're right. People do need to be self sufficient. If one of us goes down the drain with our finances, there's not a lot of people that'll gladly step up to the table to help us out.
