I don't want to pry into the guys marriage, but I am interested in how he could be bankrupt only afew years after earning millions in the ring? His accountant should

- have mustard spread onto his ears and be Iron Mike's next opponent.
- be given a dress and made to share a cell with Ike Ikeabuchi
- be put between two bread buns and given to George Foreman
- have to run baby oil onto James Toney's man boobs

This is such a shame - whtever you think about the guy, he earned his money the hard way and never shirked from punishment in the ring. He deserves to have kept it.
HaHa, Excellent.
Yeah, it is a shame that he is bankrupt. But he didn't really help himself with the manner of his expenditure and his Eccentricity. I don't like to delve into people's private lives myself but apparently his wife had become tired of his eccentric behaviour. One story tells of how he befriended a tramp and invited the man into his family home. He had met the tramp once and was amazed that the man never asked him for money and was so well spoken. When he later ran into this man again he decided to take him to his hotel and lavish gifts on him... such as new suits and shoes etc. He later bought the man an apartment and he travelled around with Eubank for months, in effect living of him!
The man later vanished and some time later he ended up in a mental institution claiming that he was a great friend of Eubank's.

Many boxers fall into the same trap, and Eubank did deserve to keep his money as, like you've stated, he certainly earned it!
yes, his name was Max
