Someone makes an individual mistake and trust peeps here to turn it to a country,tribal and racial issue! You would think white people and nigerians don't go bankrupt as well ekt_bear: Yeah...if you are a professional athlete in America, it seems to me a prenup is mandatory.I dunno why people get touchy when they have a lot of kids and you tell em to consider vasectomy! They don't even know you can still have an active sexual life as all it does is block sperm cells and not semen itself. 11 kids in these modern times is too much There are many ways to lose money but it all boils down to making bad decisions! And of course greed! Holyfield was clearly a man of excess! Look at a Latrell Sprewell for example nigga went around buying yachts. Was approaching the twilight of his career and still thought 10million dollars a year was not enough to feed his family. You need more than just bad luck to lose over a quarter million dollars in 2 decades or less I don't know how any sensible person would own a 109 room house! Why not build a hotel instead?? Especially in the west where a house can be an asset and also a liability Not signing a prenup is really as dumb as they come! Didn't this ninja have lawyers?? |

Ricky_Ross: @ the bolded parts, Brother frankly I don't know what to say about u, but u are making me believe u have a little bit of difficulties when it comes to comprehending stuffs cos what u actually wrote @ the bolded part is buttressing my points. Now read and pls endeavor u make some sense in what I'll write now, it might be a bit challenging but pls do try. My point is not whether he spent money in 5yrs or not, Or whether u have any pity for him, "Infact u can keep the pity to urself cos he doesn't know u" Or whether he's touched more money than goodluck jonathan and dangote combined together, Where I'm driving @ is "Having touched that money b4, do not let it slip off ur grip else it MIGHT never come back". |

Zeus I: When i hear the news of the systematic policy of enslaving the masses in U.S, despite their 'absolutism' or 'police state' clothed with deceptive democracy, i cringe in dismay and thanks God for making me a Nigerian. Imagine a country where a hardworking illiterate has 100% hope and faith to be a billonair tomorrow. In U.S, any penniless up-standing mammal has no hope of maintaining his/her accumulation of wealth. Micheal Jackson, mike tyson hoolyfield name them, this is a country where you're taxed to the last cent you possess and if you seem tooNinja please you sound like one of these government officials/beneficiaries. Do we have a democracy in Nigeria? A country where politicians cross-over like Kobe Bryant to fulfil their avaricious ambitions? Where governors embezzle billions of dollars and share them among their cronies? Where a councillor with less than 5000 naira in his bank account as at assuming office amasses enough within 3 years to build hotels and country homes? Where people that cannot even speak passable english are rewarded with plum perm sec jobs and other political appointments. If your politicians paid taxes like rich folk in America do Nigerians would not have to go to fellow 3rd world nations like India and even Sudan for curable ailments. That is why governors here would brag the moment they are able to buy a few mattresses and paint the walls of hospitals and fight the workers who demand rights to improved welfare For every Michael Jackson there's a Jay-Z For every Mike Tyson there's a Magic Johnson For every Evander Holyfield there's a Michael Jordan So kill that noise! |

Easy come easy go.Those who despised Tyson for what he did to this dude who was fighting dirty, will now see that their beloved idol was not any better than the iron man. The white man is clever. He gives these black hunks millions for a few minutes of brutal discharge, only to plant randy women, casinos, fast cars,gigantic mansions and sometimes even movie roles for them, to take all the money back. And they all fall. He also makes sure that none ever surpasses the legend of Rocky Marciano. Enjoy it while it lasts men. It is all an illusion. Money does not always bring happiness. 1 Like |

safarigirl: It's very sad how the American system rips a man off of his hard earned money, it does serve as a warning to philandering men that there are repercussions, but still....it's just sad to hear of a man who used to live in affluence, suddenly become bankrupt and more or less poor, 90% of the time, child support fees and the likes are what drains a man's account, give em a break a little. my sister. Dont blame the american system but blame irresponsible men. you cant father 11 children and not take care of them... it is the law, the rest of us would prefer to take our own money to raise our tiny families rather than paying higher taxes to pay for your kids to go to school just because you cant keep you deeeck in your pants. |

YuckMouf: Out of curiosity, how do you know that your great, great grandfather wasn't Igbo? I could even see if African Americans and Africans were separated by say thousands of years of history. But a mere few generations? What you are doing makes about as much sense as one of my descendants 200 years from now insulting Yoruba people. |

ekt_bear: Yeah...if you are a professional athlete in America, it seems to me a prenup is mandatory. Prenup is mandatory for any man earning way more than his wife in yankee. The court system is anti-family, and cant wait to get you into "the system" as they call it, so you can pay fees for the rest of your life. By the way, some states, like Cali can legally ignore prenups. |

You are all talking about his ex wives being behind the loss of his fortune and completely ignoring the part about gambling in Vegas and Atlantic City. Even Mohammad Ali went through divorces and separations yet he's still buoyant. Gambling is the worst vice and money drain you can ever get hooked on. 1 Like |

Its sad Holyfield will be remembered not just for his heroics in the ring but also among those sports celebrities who mismanaged their career earnings but then for every Holyfield,there is George Foreman and Larry Holmes,for every Mc Hammer,there is a Jay Z or 50cents.Its unfortunate there are more Holyfields out there cos fools never learn,lots of sports stars experience severe financial stress few yrs after the pay check stopped coming in. I hope the the likes of "Moneyman Mayweather" will learn from this news and tidy up himself like Goldenboy Oscar Dela Hoya did.For a guy who loses his sports bets in 6 figures,it,ll only be a matter of time before he starts feeling the effects of his gambling addictions no matter how deep his bank balance is. The very people who hail and sing his praises today "when he makes it rain" will be the first to criticise and mock him when the chips are down.It also pays to shun those hedonistic lifestyles. Those semi naked b.iatches who dance around him calling him champ will be the first to sell him out. Reminds me of my idol Etim Esim,Nigerias version of maradona,how he was praised when the going was good,now its some embarrasing news of how he stole JJ Okochas phone. Brother Mikel,Oba Martins,Ola Afolabi,hope you guys out there take a cue from that and learn your lessons. Notorious Bigs rule no.8 of his ten crack commandments says...never keep no weight on you,them cats that squeeze your guns can hold jobs too,this bit contributed a lot to MC Hammers downfall,having so many hangers on and oti nkpus(praise singers) who,ll be clapping for them even when they are falling inside ditches. |

YuckMouf: Igbos in here clowning Black Americans? I'd like to reply you accordingly, but. . . . I don't speak RETARDISH or is it ebonics you guys call it now? BTW, we are talking about a serious issue here, and there you are bringing up BASKETBALL?! I want to believe you are/were joking, even though I doubt it. Because as many will say. . . . Its somewhat impossible to have a reasonable argument about supremacy/superiority (which is wrong), without you planktons bringing up sports and entertainment. 89% percent of "y'all" are incoherent, poorly educated, Neanderthal brained, lazy, filthy, broke std conveyors/spreaders, who give the black race A BAD NAME!!!! Now, do you really want to talk about hierarchy? . . . . Well, let me remind you. . . Africans were the slave traders. . . The Caucasians where the slave masters. . . . Guess who the slaves were? . . . Don't get me started, I am just getting warmed up. I do have a reputation of being very vocal on this forum. . . .I don't intend to change. Btw, I don't know what you sound like, but you might want to work on your written English, particularly in the areas of punctuations, and the use of "A and An" in a sentence. B4 I go all grammar nazi on you. Regards Phreakabit NB: For a typical Yoruba boy. You aren't doing too bad at mimicking a Black American. 3 Likes |
