Okay, seconds out. Welcome to Chronic Boxing. This site will showcase professional and amateur boxers. We'll talk about the well-known and the unknown. On the whole, some of the best fights I've seen are from people I never heard of, fighting their hearts out for a few dollars or nothing, for heart or pride.

Ex-champ Holyfield having major money problems - Boxing - CBSSports.com MMA, Results, NewsIn the old days, when managers and promoters routinely took advantage of fighters, you could understand how a boxer could end up broke and unemployed. But since boxing became better regulated and most of the mob's influence was taken out of it, I find it hard to understand how a guy like Holyfield, who made millions, could end up broke and having to sell his phat crib in Atlanta.
