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.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

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.Originally Posted by Master
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.

True, but these days the rich are having a field day when it comes to how much tax they pay. It's a shame that fighters like these aren't able to capitalise on the wonderful opportunities being granted by a corrupt political system.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.

Its not fair to lump Jones in with Louis. We don't know the circumstances of Jones's IRS tax problems.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.
But we do know that Louis got SCREWED ROYALLY. Especially after he raised so much funds in boxing exhibitions for the Army. He was a great patriot and a great man.

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.
