Expect Holyfield to continue fighting

Jesus.

Awful. Let me guess did Don King promote most of Holly's fights? :warning:

 

King should've written his pre-nups.

 

Holy made some serious cheddar in his career.

Lennox Lewis should open a school on how to look after money and retire at the right time.

 

Why the fuck does he need to live in that fucking mansion. It's ridiculous. Get a normal house dick head!

Cupey

 

God wanted Holyfield to be broke.

Oh whether holly knows it or not King did. He definitely made it so Holly could contribute less to those wives and kids of his!

 

I guess holyfield shouldve bypassed facing tyson to avoid being promoted by king??

is that what you wouldve done as his manager? :: wise career decision.

the guy made over 100 million dollars with king.

king wasn't hiding in the room with him and a half dozen of these skeezers, poking holes in condoms. king didn't buy a castle that costs millions to maintain.

 

just as God must want you to be corpulent and celibate

 

To burn over a 100 million dollars takes a devoted person. :doh:

No of course not. King was perfectly ethical, a real gentlemen. He even gave some extra money to Holly to be nice.

Grow up Neil. Are you one of those idiots that, now that time has passed, has decided its time to be a revisionist and revisit King? Aww look! there he is with the American and the nigerian flag too... what a swell guy.

What a scumbag (King not you).

 

Holyfield made over 100 million dollars. I wish some scumbag would rob me like that. I´d live of the interest for the rest of my life and still get 20 kids through college.

 

king will take advantage of those who let him . you need proper advisors/managers/lawyers who have your best interest in mind when dealing with a guy like king.

holyfield coming off the czyz fight wasn't exactly in a great position of leverage to make big money. he signed with king and fought tyson twice for 50+ million dollars, then lewis twice for another 40+mill.

but dsimon says king is a crook so forget all that, don't deal with him.

felix trinidad seems to be doing quite nicely for himself, despite being promoted by king his entire career.

 

As ironic as it sounds.... it seems Tyson may in fact be in better financial shape than Holy.::

 

This is what Holyfield's mansion looks like:

 

I was thinking the same thing.

 

take solace in that, tyson fans. holyfield still beat him up when it counted

 

Did look like.

 

that was the problem, holyfield made it with king...how much of that (also taking taxes into consideration of course) did he take home. phonetap would be shocked if holy banked 20 million...

 

Little exageration dont you think?...He banked alot more than 20 million

 

Yeah he banked a lot more than $20,000,000.

I actually agree with Neil, and Neil is usually very stupid. Working with Don King gets you paid. Yeah he takes a big chunk of it, but you don't see people getting involved in $100,000,000 type fights outside of King, and Arum.

 

i remember reading an interview w/ peter mcneely on how he was still living off the money don paid him for the tyson fight.

some fighters are just too stupid when it comes to handling their finances.

 

It isn't just fighters. People in general are complete idiots about everything.

 

you're giving king too much credit. otherwise you're suggesting holyfield had complete morons watching over his finances.

 

Yeah, I hate people.

 

Same.

 

So for all these years he kept fighting on, he wasn´t really a delusional retard, just a broke retard.

 

On the positive side, it does make him seem more rational. ::

Where did I say don't deal with King? The man is a crook that is what I said. One has to deal with King, they don't have a choice.

And Neil how much of that money went to Holly? and ideas about that? I am betting you don't know. The fact is that boxers with no sense of fiscal matters is what King wants for obvious reasons.

And then he has midget loving apologists like Neil to defend him when the said Boxer is victimized...and yeah Holly tripped over his own proverbial carpet, but guys like King are more than happy to give the carpet a little pull in the right direction.
