Goin' For Broke
Filed under: Zportz
Looks like former heavyweight boxing champion and Dancing with the Starts contestant Evander Holyfield is on his way to the poor house!
Money comes and…
Money goes!
According to reports, his Georgia estate is under foreclosure.
The home worth an estimated $10 million is set to be auctioned by a bank on July 1.
One of his babymommas also claims that he's missed two child support payments ($6K).
The boxer has reportedly declined to comment on the child-support allegations and the foreclosure.
Sad.
Holyfield made multimillions in the ring and some bucks on the ABC show.
Is he a victim of the economic downturn or money mismanagement?
Good luck sorting this shiz out, E!

I waited on him at Houston's in Atlanta a couple of times. He would come in, demand to be seated immediately, and then proceed to order a whole bunch of food (always ate ribs) and then would tip me 10% of the bill EVERY TIME. I was a really good waitress and always got huge tips because of my service so this bitch is just CHEAP. What goes around, comes around.
FIRST!!!!!!!
Little late again!!!!! This should of been posted HOURS ago!!!
first!!!!!1
Mr. Holyfield should have known that a boxer's career is not a long one. He should not have bought a $10 million dollar estate. The taxes on that alone would be crippling. And of course he ought to have figured in the costs of child support. People must learn to live within their means. Sad, yes, but preventable.
hm
ALWAYS ATE RIBS????? #1? And Watermelon for dessert huh?
first!
jonas!

I live in Fayette County also……Evander's house is so hideous and totally does not fit into the community. and he needs to have the rust cleaned off the stone gates! It looks horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd give him $5 if he'd let me kick him in the nuts!!!
No sandy cheeks at Squidley's today….:(
First?? I live close to his mansion…it is a gorgeous home! What a shame..I have met him around town and he is a nice guy. But nine kids?!? Come on now!
Slow day, Fatass??? You sure don't get as many comments as you used to.
I love watching you fail!!!
awe almost first!
Don't feel bad for this douche-bag. I met him about 8 years ago and he was a TOTAL ASSHOLE. I hated the guy. So now that he's poor… HA HA! Serves him right. Just shows you: what goes around, comes around. Always. I hope he enjoys being a broke, loser, has-been. Piece of shit.
It was the gas.
Sorry he want be the last one that have forecloser.
Just like McMahon, I don't feel for this person at ALL! To fucking bad that he is broke! He had the opportunity to make millions and didn't manage his money properly at all. Boo fucking hoooo!!!!
#7 - Fuck off, buddy. Maybe that's what he REALLY ordered. Douche bag!
This kind of thing always happens. A guy like Holyfield was meant to be a garbage man, or a men's room attendand. Dumb idiots like Evander aren't capable of handling money. That's why losers like him always lose everything. Because they're at the bottom of the intelligence chain. Sure, just because he was strong (at one point) and could beat some people up, he lucked into money. But he was too stupid to keep it. Now, he's washed-up and broke, which is where he deserves to be
Holyfield must have gotten all his financial advice from Mike Tyson.
OHHH You better run clutching Your pearls Perez. Evander Holyfield could knock You out for that Disgusting picture of Him!
Re: Maggie – What a potty mouth for a Lady!
Re: James – Amen, Brother.
Re: uhno – Try telling him that to his face. White fucking coward!
he lives really close to me, too, and since i don't know much about him, i'm inclined to feel bad. but i do have to admit, his estate is a bit out of place (right in front of OLM!? is that… normal?). and where did he get the money for that huge mansion and guest house? i didn't think he even made that much. maybe i was right… he just can't afford it. oh well!
Re: James – What a racist mean mean mean man!
Re: uhno – Sometimes its a stereotype for a reason. But if you want to make this about race, go ahead…but I think it has more to do with the fact that Houston's makes really good ribs and the restaurant was in Atlanta, Georiga.
I think his house is gorgeous & that's a shame to hear! BTW all that stuff that's by his house wasn't by it when it was first built there used to be nothing across the street.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for this guy or Ed McMahon? Don't buy
"estates" if you can't afford it. I live in a dumpy little 1800 sq. ft. house
and consider my self lucky. It's called LIVING WITHIN YOUR MEANS -
these guys should try it.
Ummm… there is more to this story… another "athlete" is involved in a Holyfield foreclosure as well!!!
I hardly feel sorry for ANY celebrity that overspends their MILLIONS and then has to file bankrupcy. But, damn he's hot. I'd pay a buck to &*^% him.
wow,
the foreclosure thing is affecting everyone, even the rich!!!
he doesn't seem to smart. so i'll go with money mismanagement. if this is the same house that i saw on TV a few years back, then i'm not surprised. that place was huge. and i think he has A LOT of kids.
He has 9 kids by a bunch of women, he admits his problem was no prenup but his real problem was getting one lady preggers while she lived in one part of the mansion while his wife was preggers in the other part of the house. He admitted in 1998 that in one year his wife and 2 other ladies had his baby.
well, he does have like 30 kids. mandatory child support will eat at those financials quite rapidly.
Re: maddma – -Well aren't you just the little bigot.
Anyone from the Atlanta area who is familiar with Mr Holifield will know that he has been giving his money away to Rev. Dollar (yes that is his name) for years. Pull up his divorce records and you will see where his ex was complaining to the court about this when they were going trough thier divorce.
Is it possible to have a topic about a person of color & there NOT BE racist tirades
smeared all over the post?!?! Damn people get over it. God created black, white red & everything in the middle to be celebrated not feared. Dumb asses!!!!!!!
That hurts me he makes me pity
Re: dontwo – - You mean like having a thread about a Republican and not have all of the closed minded hate speech that we always have?
I'VE BEEN LOOKING @ THE SITES FEATURING BLACK MEN & WOMEN
AND THE RACIST PEOPLE WHO ARE POSTING ARE ANGRY AND UPSET ABOUT OTHER THINGS AND NOT ABOUT THE BLACK PEOPLE THEY ARE COMMENTING ON….BELIVE THAT….

Actually, I've heard he's a super-nice guy but he does spend A LOT of money. I have two cousins that used to live right near him and they were really good friends with a couple of his children. They used to carpool to school and whenever my cousins were taken by the Holyfield's, their nanny drove them - in her Jaguar. The nanny had a damn Jaguar!
I think this is pretty sad, but I guess not really that surprising.
Man, it's so funny. These blacks just haven't got a clue about money or how to manage it. All they know is how to brang and show off when they get some $. But the laughable thing is that they ALL buy depreciating assets, ie they go down in value year after year.
I always smile when I hear or see a rapper go on about his $300 bracelet. Give 5-10 years time son and you'll be back in the projects from whence you came…………
AT THE END OF HIS CAREER THEY WERE PAYING HIM IN BANANAS
AND HE DIDNT KNOW THE DIFFERANCE
I live about five minutes away from his home, and I am not surprised that he can't afford it any more. The upkeep on the house must cost a small fortune, and lately it's been looking like it's falling apart.
TO ALEX, jealous much ? Since when is $300 is a whole lot of money for a bracelet? Not all black people are failures with their finances and YOU KNOW THIS YOU STUPID MOFO
He was once a great Athlete, why drag Him through the mud now?
Yes, He was and still is a Great Man!
I also lived in Fayette County for a long time. His older home on the property was once the home of Burt Reynolds. He had the new home built and it fit in well with the communnity. We begged him so many times to buy the property across the street so they won't build a school there. But he's just cheap, his son played on my basketball team. When it was his turn to bring drinks and chips after the game, he was nowhere to be found. It is widly known he is cheap, but the crazy FAKE Doctor Janice stole like $20 mil from in a divorce settlement. I feel bad for him, I know he's not broke, it'll probably be best for him to sell the house, acquire the money and move on some where.
