Evander Holyfield is one of the best boxers to ever lace on a pair of gloves, but he's probably got some of the worst accountants in history. How else can you explain the fact that he's earned over $200 million in his boxing career, yet still owes a staggering $546,200.91 in child support for his 18-year old daughter, Emani Holyfield?
The Georgia Dept. of Human Services is after Holyfield to pay the debt. According to TMZ, the boxing great has been held in contempt of court and ordered to immediately fork over $2,950 a month to clear the debt. He coughed up a check for $17K recently, which knocked the amount down to it's current balance of $546,200.91.
In addition to the payment plan, the judge ordered that a percentage of Holyfield's income be used to pay down the debt.
Holyfield, who has 11 children once earned $35 million for a single fight with Mike Tyson.
In 2008 he was shelling out at least 500K a year on child support according to the New York Times.
