Holyfield Facing Foreclosure Again

Friday June 26, 2009
Former heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield is again facing foreclosure on his 54,000-square foot home in suburban Altanta. Holyfield reportedly expects a settlement to be reached before the 235-estate is auctioned. The Real Deal has earned in excess of $120 million in his career but at 46 - despite still considering himself an active fighter - there are no big paydays looming. Sooner or later it appears he will have to downsize to a residence that does not feature 109 rooms, 17 bathrooms, three kitchens and a bowling alley. What a hardship . . .

I gotta tell ya, whenever I see Holyfield’s name mentioned in any context, I wince.

I’ve always thought he was one of the most overrated boxers ever (in my top ten of overrated boxers).

I wince whenever he does fight (and lose) and then have to listen to the ridiculous excuses afterwords (not to mention his atrocious verbal “skills”).

But here’s a guy who has made more money than 99.9999% of people in existence and he’s STILL too stupid to know how to live within his means? How anyone can feel sorry for the over-priveleged mega-rich is beyond me.

Sorry – no pity here. This guy needs to grow a brain on multiple levels. He’s become another boxing caricature. He and Mike Tyson ought to share a room ….
