BoxRec

Its a fun lil site, but I don't believe its providing very much true net worth info. I've used it for various specific payday type info at times. I think its a lil tougher to gauge what a guy is really worth with all the behind the scenes stuff people have going on. Tax issues, sh!t you're paying, who's on the payroll, etc. & so on. Probably be a more accurate site if they called it CelebrityGrossWorth.com & even then who knows EVERYTHING anyone is doing.

It's funny that you posted this because the other day I was just wondering what a few old time celebrities were worth and I checked it and I thought "there's no way that person can still be worth that much"!

Then I checked other similar sites along with Forbes just to ensure the other sites info was correct and "viola" whattaya know, the info was spot on.

I couldn't believe that Bobby Brown was worth 5 million but after I read and realized that he still gets royalties from his past songs with New Edition I thought "well it's likely".

If I recall correctly they still had George Foreman earning a good amount of paper.

Some of the more notable items include:
Michael Buffer -- $450 million. I'm in the wrong business.
Amir Khan -- $30 million. Given where most people rank him, how little sway most people think he has, his age, etc.; he's doing a lot better than many of his peers. He built that mountain without even fighting any of the major draws like Mayweather or Pacquiao.
Riddick Bowe -- $30 thousand. It's pretty ridic that Lennox Lewis has almost 5,000 times as much money as Riddick Bowe.

Isn't Roy Jones broke? It also says Haye is worth $20m, we'll he must be a big spender as he got $33 mil for one fight. Fun sight but I reckon it's not that accurate, would someone really pay buffer 100mil to use his phrase?

I never wanna believe Buffer is worth that much cuz it sounds a lil crazy someone is worth a half a billion cuz of their voice, but then I realize he's 70 & looks like he's 55 on a bad day & he's the only guy who's had throat cancer who doesn't talk like the Elephant Man that I'm aware of so obviously this guy is able to afford some sh!t even regular rich people can't afford.

I recall an interview where Buffer said that number is completely off. He did say he's doing pretty well though and gets royalties from videos games and other less obvious avenues.

Cory Spinks has a net worth of $5 million? If that's true, I hope he's helping his Dad Leon out, who I heard had a minimum wage job.

To be fair if Cory gave his dad some money he'd piss it up, Michael Slinks was always careful about it, money in the wrong hands can be dangerous. I remember reading that Leon had gone put with a pocket full of money and got mugged, beat up and someone had even taken his false teeth!

What does Michael Spinks do these days btw? I feel like he's been too embarrassed to show his face since the KO1 loss to Tyson in 88. Seen that guy maybe 5 times since then which is crazy cuz he's still a legend in the game despite the Tyson loss.

Michael said years ago he hated the fame.He was never one for the spotlight

I have a brother also that 5 million would last about a month.

I know a few like that, they are lovely people but just utterly clueless.
