Tommy Hearns in serious financial trouble

It's a shame. He is too old for anything now, no one knows who he is apart from boxing fans, so it's not easy to use his name to endorse or promote products.

Hatton is a prime example of what to do once you get on top. Invest in property, build gyms, do adverts, put your name on anything, tour the country talking to fans in theatres for cash, bring out a clothing label, start a boxing promotional company.........just do anything that makes money and pay people in the know to run them.

Sit back............relax, eat pies

Hatton is a good example, but the ultimate business man in my opinion outside of the ring has been George Foreman. Foreman has made hundreds of millions off his grill alone, not to mentioned he was very articulate to do HBO Boxing for years, have his own tv show, do commercials and rake in millions more. That man is an absolute legend inside and outside the ring.

Was sure he would be lured out when the Gym was closed...to help fund raise or something.Any commission who would even consider allowing Hearns a go at this point should have its head examined.Even through his last few and as far back as mid 90's it was a little cringe worthy,watching him with the legs of a newborn gazelle and taking flush hurting shots from journeyman Delgado.The Grant fight stamped it...yeh he hurt his ankle but he was also seeing the signs real early.Was hard to watch.Mans a legend and deserves better.I swear they are as much alone after the cheers end and the gloves come off for good as they are inside the ropes vs toughest opponent.Managers,promoters,trainers get their cut but who looks out for the fighter.Damn shame really.
