Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is because he is living in a rental home with his his wife and three children. I didn't want to ask him about his financial situation. He said he's tried to get Al Haymon's number but none of his boxing friends will give it to him because they don't want anyone else taking their spot. Not sure that is a very realistic idea, but that's what he said.
That is sad but he earned the money and should have invested and saved it wisely. Looking at boxing rec he has not fought since 2012 so he is too long gone to be competitive. If he can win a couple, then I hope him all the best. Roy always wanted to promote Gainer, his friend after every fight.
Yeah I do know that he spent a lot of his money starting a private school for troubled kids. He owned a UPS Store at some point as well. I've seen Roy's twin son's working at a UPS Store down the street so I'm guessing that may be the one he owned.
