Old man Evander Holyfield lost his fight today against 7 foot Russian WBA Heavyweight Champion Nikolai Valuev. And shocking, it wasn't without controversy.
Holyfield lost by a split decision, with one judge scoring the bout a draw.
Holyfield was trying to become the oldest heavyweight champion at 46-years old. But in reality Holyfield was there for the paycheck.
It has been reported that Holyfield has up to 11 illegitimate children and owes up to $500,000 in child support payments per year. If Holyfield won the fight, he would have received around $600,000.
Holyfield, like boxing, is just a joke right now. He was only at that fight for the paycheck, and no one in the United States has ever heard of Valuev.
Just another example of how boxing has completely fallen off of the map.
