    I read an article that Joe Frazier lives alone in an apartment one staircase above the gym where he and others train young fighters in a run-down part of town. Also it says that he has lost millions in failed business deals..

    Read the article its from te New York Times... Its so sad...

    Very surprising. I always expected him to work for NASA once his boxing career was over.

    No worse than he would've been without boxing. Doubt he's missing any meals & he spent his youth rich and getting laid. I'll spend todays sympathy budget on Japan.

    he lost out on some land deal too, that was rumbling on way back in the 1990's

    I wouldn't worry about him, he's what, pushing 70 now anyways, he might end life with no money but he didn't spend life that way.

    I also heard he has a pretty heavy drinking problem, too. I knew of some one who had gotten him a gig for about $5,000 several years back and he practically drank it up.

    This same dude hooked up Iran Barkley.
