Evander Holyfield Jabs Foreclosure Allegations

Looks as if Evander Holyfield might not be a candidate for the Home Front's title of America's least sympathetic housing crisis victim after all.

From the Associated Press:

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield denies that his home will be foreclosed, saying 'Everything is all right with the house now.'

A legal notice in a small local newspaper Wednesday said Holyfield's estate will be auctioned to the highest bidder for cash on July 1. The 54,000-square-foot home has 109 rooms, including 17 bathrooms, three kitchens and a bowling alley. The estate is valued at $10 million.

In The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday, Holyfield said he's not broke—"I'm just not liquid."

First; to the person just above:
I don't understand what or how u misconstrued what the neighbor guy was saying? To me he was stating that whites/americans took Africans from what he thought was a poverty stricken country and brought them to a country of "dreams". As he never said he thought that the way they were treated was proper. I am not trying to deffend his ways of thinking, however it doesn't seem to me that he is trying to be an idiot. Just that he is confused perhaps.
As for Mr. Holyfield, if it is true that his home is being auctioned, maybe he shoulda thought about what would happen when he retired and had to pay for that expensive of a house. Best of wishes to you Mr. Holyfield.

I sure hope EVERYONE here who has said something negative about a person who may or may not be going into foreclosure regardless if at one time he was a millionaire or not, have their own closets clean and spotless.
Hard times hit everyone, it doesn't matter whether your bank account has 7 digits, or 3. When it's your time, there's nothing you can about it. But to belittle a person because maybe he made bad choices, or just wanted too much is way over the limit. We call ourselves a caring people, but we only care if it's affects us directly. Someone said he was rich thats why he doesn't care, very intelligent... and another person said blacks and poor people in general cannot manage money, what a scholar there too. Get a life and get a clue people, when it's all said and done with, you can't and won't be able to take it with you anyways.
Take all the negativity you promptly and proudly display on some dumb blog and use that to help someone who really needs it. Or like someone said before me. Take your stimulus check and buy a clue

Oh, well put Tom of Az. You've poignantly summarised the undercurrents, prejudices and other rubbishy stuff posted on Evander in three neat paragraphs; one of them very long. I echo you liberty comment and wish you happy driving in your luxury gas guzzling vehicle, which you worked your ass-of so hard to buy to compensate for...whatever. That young lady who's scouting for a sugar daddy would be real pleased to hear from you; and, i'm sure, would welcome the opportunity to ride with you in your luxury car.
I love your advice. Do the world a favour and try and live it
