RE: Evander Holyfield is extremely broke

Wow, Sports guys will be so irresponsible!!!
Very well said about having 200+ rooms house when we don't need that much, but it's all a matter of prestige for such high profile athletes, isn't it?
This incident brings to my memory of a great Cricketer Chris Cairns who once had a lavish life and had to clean the cars to earn for his daily bread.
If you might have read, Cairns recently underwent heart surgery in Australia and his case is very similar to Evander Holyfield.
Good one.

How does the saying go? "What comes up, also comes down"
I guess it's better to have a not so lavish life, but keep on saving for the hard days, right?
Very true,
I mean, we have to spend the money for our daily needs and that's something we can't avoid.
But when we spend more than what we earn, then there is something wrong, isn't it?
In case of Holyfield, it seems like he use to earn 20 million and use to spend 30 million.
It would be interesting to see a showcase on boxers, MMA fighters, or just athletes in general who have managed their finances responsibly. I remember years ago when they were talking about MC Hammer's horrific downfall and they cut to a piece about LL Cool J, who has always lived a responsible financial life fearing that his career could end at any moment because "that's how the industry works." He was at that time doing very well but still drove a Honda Accord.... that was leased.
It's funny because this is always what Dana White says about Forest Griffin, owning a toyota or honda 😄 and living a low key life.
Interesting to note that he is also the only one that got hired by him after the show to work at the Institute.
