For what Joe did for the US of A, they definitely should have helped him out a bit I think, I agree.

What boxer doesn't? These guys make a living getting bashed in the head....being "smart with money" usually allows someone to do something else for a living. Granted certain fighters have been smart with their earnings but they are few and far between.
