Over Indulgence-American Style-Bills come due!

Holyfield caught up in foreclosure, and we don’t have much sympathy


Published: June 6, 2008 Unless his financial fortunes change, there won’t be a split decision on the future of former heavyweight boxing champ Evander Holyfield’s suburban Atlanta mansion. The Associated Press reported yesterday that Holyfield’s residence is set to be auctioned off on July 1:

Maybe now we know why former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield wants to keep fighting at age 45. The “Real Deal” appears real broke.

His $10 million estate in suburban Atlanta is under foreclosure, the mother of one of his children is suing for unpaid child support, and a Utah consulting company has gone to court claiming the boxer failed to pay back more than a half million dollars for landscaping.

A legal notice that ran Wednesday in a small local newspaper said Holyfield’s estate will be auctioned off “at public outcry to the highest bidder for cash” at the Fayette County courthouse on July 1. The 54,000-square-foot home — located on Evander Holyfield Highway — has 109 rooms, including 17 bathrooms, three kitchens and a bowling alley.
