Despite claims by Mayweather's management that Pretty Boy has no money problems, public records show him owing nearly $6.4 million: a tax lien of $6.17 for unpaid taxes in 2007, New Jersey state taxes of $193,000 in 2007, unresolved debts worth $9,400 to three homeowners associations, $3,900 to a contractor that programmed electronics at one of his houses, and $320 to his trash collector.
Team Mayweather can try to spin this story any way they want, but it sure sounds like a money problem.
Arguello compiled a professional record of 82-8 with 65 KOs during a career which began in 1968 and didn't end until 1995! While he won titles at featherweight, super featherweight and lightweight, Arguello is best remembered for his two classic - but ultimately unsuccessful - title fights at 140 pounds against Aaron Pryor in 1982 and 1983. Arguello's biggest wins came against Ruben Olivares, Alfredo Escalera, Bazooka Limon, Bobby Chacon and Ray Mancini.
Arguello was a national hero in his native Nicaragua. He carried the country's flag at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and was the mayor of Managua, the nation's capital city, at the time of his death.
