If I was a promoter I would want my fighters to take a course on financial planning....granted the majority of fighters are not smart PERIOD much less smart with money. But it's just damn sad to see that kind of shit happen in any sport. Johnny Unitas was damn near broke after his playing days....that's fucking sad right there.
I would think ALI would pop up as one of the guys that has been smart with his money, because God help him had he been like Joe Frazier and had to deal with Alzheimer's and live in his fucking gym.
Joe Louis probably got screwed over the most....Jack Johnson was always a high roller but seemed to be good with his cash. He still had some money when he died in that car wreck.
Ray Robinson was apparently bad with his money
...but hell all these fighters usually come from nothing and they know about that lifestyle which is why they can't handle it properly when they get big money.
I think Glenn Johnson is going to be good with his money
