Editing Evander Holyfield (section)

===Financial difficulties===
In June 2008 a legal notice was placed by [[Washington Mutual Bank]] stating that Holyfield's $10&nbsp;million, {{convert|54000|sqft|m2|adj=on}}, 109-room, 17-bathroom suburban Atlanta estate would be auctioned off on July 1, 2008, due to [[foreclosure]], shortly before that bank's insolvency. Rapper [[Rick Ross]] ended up acquiring the house. Adding to his financial problems, Toi Irvin, mother of his then 10-year-old son, filed suit for non-payment of two months child support (he was paying $3,000 per month for this child). A Utah landscaping firm also went to court seeking $550,000 in unpaid debt for services. His fortune was drained by frivolous spending, multiple failed business ventures, constant child support payments, and his three divorces, among other things.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/evander-holyfield-s-mansion-under-foreclosure-1.744289 | work=CBC News | title=Evander Holyfield's mansion under foreclosure | date=June 6, 2008}}</ref>

In 2012 ''[[The Independent]]'' described Holyfield as "flat broke and bankrupt" despite having earned £350 million (US$513 million) over his boxing career.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hubbard |first=Alan |date=13 October 2012 |title=Boxing: Holyfield's life goes under the hammer |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/general/others/boxing-holyfields-life-goes-under-the-hammer-8210385.html |newspaper=Independent |access-date=20 June 2016 }}</ref>

As of 2019, Holyfield was earning about $1.2 million a year, mostly through personal appearances.<ref>[https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/combat-sports/117488748/where-did-312-million-go-boxing-champ-evander-holyfield-on-his-lost-fortune "Where did $312 million go?
