8. Evander Holyfield
Since he was regarded as one of the greatest boxers, many people never suspected that Evander Holyfield would have financial troubles. He was a boxer for over 20 years, and earned $200 million during his time in the ring. Fans got confirmation that Holyfield was having financial trouble in 2008, when his 109-room Atlanta mansion went into foreclosure. Evander was able to delay the foreclosure for a few years, but had to put the house up for auction in 2012 to pay JP Morgan Chase the $14 million he owed in mortgage payments. As of 2012, Holyfield also reportedly owes $200,000 in back taxes and $500,000 in child support.
