Evander Holyfield's Mansion Under Foreclosure, Child Support Payments Late

Former heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield appears to be having financial problems.

A legal notice that appeared in a local newspaper shows his Fayette County estate is under foreclosure. The home worth an estimated $10 million is set to be auctioned by a bank on July 1.

The mother of one of Holyfield's nine children says he has missed two child-support payments. Toi Irvin, who lives in Clayton County, filed a petition for contempt in Fayette County Superior Court on behalf of her 10-year-old son.

Irvin says she was told by Holyfield's representatives not to expect the payment for May and June totaling $6,000.

The 45-year-old Holyfield has declined comment on the child-support allegations and the foreclosure.

Holyfield last fought on Oct. 13, 2007. He has been trying to secure another heavyweight championship.

Evander was always a gentleman and it's hard to rip the guy, but it's hard to feel sorry for someone who blows a $200 million dollar fortune? Since he has 9 kids with 6 different women, it's obvious that he wasn't spending any money on condoms.

Here we have another guy, having been able to make huge paychecks over the years, and left with nothing to show for it. Like Ed McMahon, I don't feel a shred of pity for him. Anyone able to make that kind of money should be worth hundreds of millions by this point. That's if you have a brain cell or two to be able to invest the money instead of using it to showboat. His 9 kids should have been set for life. Let's hope Evander can get another fight, or if that fails, a reality show.

It's good to see this jackass called out for being a moron with his money.
