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.

Its not fair to lump Jones in with Louis. We don't know the circumstances of Jones's IRS tax problems.

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.
