    I read an article some years back about Michael Spinks dividing his money up and placing them into timed accounts. This way he would never blow all his money. If he did all he would have to do is wait a few years for more.

    He also invested in some business and real estate. Nothing major but well enough to make some money and keep a fairly nice lifestyle.

    Marvin Hagler took his money over to Italy where he is a big celeberty and invested in Real estate there as well as does acting in Italian movies

    Not really sure....it's sadly only news when they blow it all. One of the mayweathers i belive has no access to all his cash and gives himself a yearly allowance so he doesn't blow it all. Not sure which one but that's pretty smart to reckonize you have it in you to blow that much..

    I wondered why Leon Spinks was still working as a janitor with a multi-millionaire brother.

    Hagler took all his money to Paris now that was smart. He porbably doubled his money out there at that time.

    Tszyu seems to be doing well.

    Naz won't be in any financial trouble soon.

    I know Pintor house in Mexico is huge and he also has a gym he runs.

    Eubank must be doing well if he's got money to fill up his truck.

    I'm sure Eubank went bankrupt not long ago.

    Maybe Leon's brother doesn't want to reward someone who frittered away his own money.

    Nino Benvennutti went into television after his retirement, made a tidy little sum to live comfortably on......

    Well here in Aus Tszyu does VERY well, Fenech is loaded, Mundine and his entire family won't ever have to work, Danny Green is set for life. Some of the old time fighters made a load of money, but i can't remember them all just now. I'll do some drunken research and let you know. Les Darcy made a fortune but after he died his stupid alcoholic farmer father blew the lot because Les never made a will so it went to his dad not his wife. He actually drove one of a few motor cars in Aus at the time, a Buick it was. They used it in his funeral procession here where 200,000 people came from all over to see.

    Michael would employ Leon, hire him during training camps, Leon would never show up. Michael would pay Leons bills lend him money that would be spent on drugs and women.

    You can only do so much brother or not. What is to do let Leon have access to his funds so he can blow Michaels money as well?

    Leon made millions in the ring and blew it all. It is not like he was a brother who has been nothing but a working stiff his whole life at minimum wage and Michael came into a fortune and would not even throw him a few bucks to buy the kids new shoes.
