Champions that were smart with there money

[Put Em' Up]

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.

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

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.
