Holyfield facing jail time?

From TMZ
Four-time former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield is staring down some jail time if he doesn’t cough up more than $300k in unpaid child support, TMZ has learned. The GA. Dept. of Human Services has gone to court on behalf of Evander’s 18-year-old daughter Emani Holyfield … claiming the former champ hasn’t paid a dime of court ordered child support since April 2010, and his tab is now $372,097.40. The DHS is fed up with the waiting game … so it’s asking a judge to lock up Holyfield and garnish his wages until he antes up the back support. Evander’s rep tells TMZ she was unaware of the situationm but added, “Mr. Holyfield has a wonderful relationship with his daughter.”


Looks like Holyfield better start to getting some fights against anyone and everyone he can face in the ring or he might as well be sharing a jail cell with Floyd Mayweather. Maybe if Tyson gets in trouble with the law again, we can stage Holyfield-Tyson III from behind the slammer. Just like in that movie, Undisputed, with Wesley Snipes and Ving Rhames.

I can't stand Evander ... so hope he gets whatever he has coming to him

Holy is such a Hypocrite ,,, Kicks the crap out of his wife over her not paying tithes and wanting to turn the temp up in the house..

No oweing 300K seems to be a lot... but if he had not barried the salami ... he probably would not have this problem.

Hope Holy has fun being PBF b#t*h !!

Is he still living in that house that's 500 times the size the average person would require (bigger size-wise than the White House, believe it or not). I know at one time he was on the verge of being evicted but then I never heard anything more about it. About time they had a forced estate sale to pay his creditors whatever they can get, only a Judge who's got no idea about the sports world would be under the mistaken impression that Evander could ever begin earned one-tenth of what he did in the mid-to-late ninties.

Evander Holyfield Update

By TMZ Staff
Good news: Boxing legend Evander Holyfield recently sold his house for $7,500,000!!!
Bad news: It was at a public auction, he actually owes the bank twice that amount … and he also owes over $200,000 in back taxes.
According to docs filed in Georgia, Holyfield’s massive mansion — 54,000 sq. ft on 234 acres — outside Atlanta sold at public auction on March 6 … but part of the money will go directly to Uncle Sam to pay off his back tax bill. As for the rest … according to the documents, Holyfield owed more than $14,000,000 on the house — plus more than $2500 in foreclosure expenses. It’s unclear whether the bank is going after him for the balance. Calls to Holyfield’s rep were not returned.



How the hell did this guy get himself so in debt? What did he do with the 40 million dollar payday he got for fighting Tyson? Or the other big paydays he made?

His lady friends probably took it all. If you owe 400,000 in just a few months for just one kid, even 40 million won't last long.

The problem was (and I never understood just why he doesn't ever seem to go back to the various Judges and get it reduced) that Evander had all these child support payments set when he was HW Champion of the World and making $20+ Million a year. I think either it's false pride or his idiotic notion that he was going to get back on top and start making the big bucks again, that prevented him from taking this simple step.

But then, this is a guy who is living in a Palace he can afford either.

I'm not for kicking someone when they're down but the cold hard truth of the matter is 1) he lives in a $7m mansion despite being in massive debt and 2) nobody made him have so much unprotected sex that he ended up with however many children he has.

Most people don't earn $1m over a lifetime and they get by just fine. People have to be more responsible with their money.

Floyd Mayweather seeks release


Updated: June 12, 2012, 5:41 PM ETAssociated Press
LAS VEGAS -- A judge in Las Vegas said she'll decide later this week whether to ease jail conditions for Floyd Mayweather Jr., after his lawyers argued that the undefeated champion is getting out of shape in solitary confinement and may never fight again.
Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa made no immediate ruling Tuesday on an emergency motion asking the court to move Mayweather into the general jail population -- something that jail officials had avoided out of fear for the celebrity's safety -- or put him in house arrest for the rest of his three-month sentence.
Mayweather lawyer Richard Wright said he'd be willing to have the boxer serve the sentence in an apartment or somewhere less luxurious than Mayweather's posh Las Vegas-area home.
"I'm not looking for special treatment for Floyd Mayweather," Wright said. "I'm looking for fair treatment."
But prosecutor Lisa Luzaich said softening the sentence would be just another accommodation, similar to when Mayweather's jail surrender date was postponed for months after sentencing so he could fight Miguel Cotto in May.
"They keep chipping away, chipping away, chipping away," Luzaich said.
Mayweather pleaded guilty in December to misdemeanor domestic battery and no contest to two harassment charges that stemmed from an attack on his ex-girlfriend while two of their children watched. He was sentenced to three months and entered the jail June 1.
Mayweather's jail stay will be capped at 87 days because the judge gave him credit for three days previously served. It could be reduced by several weeks for good behavior.
In the motion, which was first reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, lawyers say Mayweather's personal physician, Dr. Robert Voy, visited the jail Friday and was concerned the 35-year-old fighter appeared to have lost muscle tone.
Voy estimated the boxer was consuming fewer than 800 calories a day -- a drop from his usual 3,000 or 4,000 calories -- and wasn't drinking enough because he isn't allowed bottled water and doesn't usually drink tap water.
Mayweather has been getting a little more than 30 minutes twice a day in a couple of barren recreation areas in the administrative segregation unit. His cell, no larger than 7-by-12 feet, has barely enough floor space for pushups and situps.
But prosecutors argued he's "deconditioning" by choice, and declining much of his food.
"He has the ability to exercise, he just chooses not to," Luzaich said. "It's jail. Where did he think he was going? The Four Seasons?"
Voy and Wright also pointed to Mayweather's declining emotional state.
"I am concerned about Floyd withdrawing, developing anger he cannot dissipate through the usual means of dedicated exercise and training," Voy wrote in an affidavit. "Boxing has been Mr. Mayweather's life since he was a young man and we need champions of this type to continue to their natural retirement and hopefully their contributions to society thereafter."
