Sad but he should have kept it in his pants and paid his taxes.

Someone should buy it all and donate it back to him.

Roy Jones could be going down the same route very soon. Give Mayweather 10 more years, and I wouldnt be surprised if he ends up the same. Once the income takes a nose dive, and the spending remains the same. These guys must hire terrible accountants.

B0ll0X why? what message does that send out to kids etc. He has earnt more money than everyone on this forum put together and spunked it up the wall quite literally. He didn't pay taxes on the immense amount of money he earnt, if I don't pay my taxes I lose my house and leaves myself wife and 2 kids homeless is someone magically going to buy my house back not going to happen. He has had fame, money, been able to get into birds he could only ever dream about if he wasn't a famous boxer and treated like a king wherever he goes especially boxing matches and thrown it away. I'm all for the BHOF buying them and putting them on display but to give him them back where is the lesson learnt.

I am not sure I'd want to own something someone had been forced to sell even if I could afford it.

Given that he would just sell the bloody thing again, that'd be a dumb thing to do?   Huh?

Oh, c'mon Aaron, that's some porkies right there, surely. You're telling me if you had the fight gloves from Holyfield v Tyson II you would feel guilty about owning them? lol.

Honestly skav, it is not exactly great circumstances to own something. Holyfield sounds as he is in far worse trouble than even Tyson ever was.
