    This will mean Holyfield will keep fighting for the money, I never expected this to happen to him honestly.

      You can expect Samuel Peter to use his voluntary defense on Holyfield now...

        Eeesh, I shouldn't be surprised when athletes blow their money, but it still boggles my mind when it happens to a seemingly reasonable and smart guy like Holyfield. No wonder he wants to fight Tyson again...

          Ive heard this kind of story before...its very sad. Those money they earned from boxing are literally blood, sweat and tears, they must learn to take care of it.

              HMMMMM.... not to turn this into another Mayweather thread. But maybe people can see why is focused on making the most money and getting out under his own terms. Look and tyson, Holyfield, and countless other boxers who have given thier blood sweat and tears just to end up broke and brain damaged. Yea he fought all comers but god damn look where hes ended up. Just some food for thought when people bash boxers who are actually smart with thier money and see boxing as a means to future success in other industries. Thats how its done. You can box till ur about 34 then what??? People say whos that guy as they pass them by on the street or in a hardware store. Situations like this make it all to clear that people box as a job, as a means for income. People bring up the great ray robinson and say how he fought almost 200 fights. You know why???? because he would have been broke otherwise. Yes he took pride in what he did, but when it came down to it he fought for money to put food on the table and a roof over his head. Anything more is a golden extra topping.
