It makes sense why he is still fighting like Holyfield it is the only way to pay the big bills at the expense to their great legacy. Pride does not pay the bills.

But these guys have earned pay checks that most of us can never dream of, why are they so prone to throwing it all away? It's not as though they are the only ones to have ever grown up in a working class household.

There is no excuse for it really. It's a real shame.

Roy Jones is turning into one of those stories like Joe Louis. Absolute great boxer who had to fight on way past his best and still ended up skint due to taxes owed. Gotta say that the American boxers do seem to get hit hard by governments!

Why does the tax man have to chase legends like Louis and Jones?

Just because you're a boxing legend doesn't mean you're exempt to pay taxes on what you earn. Everyone does in any modernized society.

As much as I like Holyfield I think Jones is smarter and ONLY in it for the money, unlike Holyfield who seems boarderline dellusional and actually believes he's still what he was.
