....boxing isn't the only profession where people go broke....sure there are a lot of fighters who do wind up broke but look where a lot of fighters come from...so it's not THAT big of a deal IMO

Good point about where they come from, certainly that's a big part of it. If a kid grows up in the ghetto and becomes rich simply from fighting, which he is probably accustomed to anyways, there's no reason he would have learned anything.

George Foreman has gotta be up there on top or near to it. I wish George was my daddy.

I don't know about the all boys named George thing, that would confuse the hell out of me.

Yea, I've read he made much more from the Foreman Grill than he ever did in his entire boxing careeer... Makes me wonder if there is anyone who has done the same... Not just invested wisely and retained their earnings or whatnot, but actually gone on to make more money in another venture than they did boxing? Can't think of one for the life of me, at least not a top fighter.
