Poor guy, he can’t possibly have another come back fight. He’s done with the fame and fortune that boxing brings, he had his time. I wouldn’t want to see him get hurt or maybe knocked out. He should be happy with what he has accomplished already and hang up his gloves.
Incredible 2 fight series against Mike Tyson hey! Those days are gone though and you won Mr Holyfield - just buy a property that’s a bit smaller and kick back and relax.
Enjoy life some more!

Okay classic case of American greed, sorry capitalism. This guy probably grew up in a modest home and now escalated his standard of living to an absolute come out of retirement 54,000 square feet. Hollyfield, is a God fearing man that cares a bit too much what others think. How important are things? What would Jesus do? Give up the house your fans will still love you. They probably would like you less if they knew of your excessive property woes. He was loved for being the humble guy who sang hymns in the locker room before the fight, not 54,000 square foot man!

Dont you think that foreclosure might indicate your house is too big for you? I mean seriously, how many kids does he have? Could he possibly be using all of that room? I never have understood why small rich families feel the necessity to have a huge house that could hold a small country inside.

Maybe we should have a Tyson, Apollo Creed, Tommy the Gun, and Holyfield all out brawl in the bar.. You know, no holds barred, bottles ok, and we could use the proceeds to buy me a huge underground lair where by we could all hide when 2012 comes around. Who wants to join?!

Evander Holyfield is great as a box but he is treble as a businees man. I don’t understand with his understanding on scripture that he has not sought out spritual wise counsel to help him with his financial needs? He not the only person in the world that has experience these problems. I was that I had a opportunity to speak him directly so I would straighten out his financial woes!!!!!
