Riddick Bowe is returning to the ring in a rematch versus Andrew Golota. This is such a sad sight, these guys don't ever know when to quit-

I understand Riddick Bowe has been having some serious money issues, but this is just sad-

Apparently the rematch is going to be a WWE style wrestling match, and while relatively harmless to the health of either opponent, it's sad to see any once dominant champion have to humiliate himself for a paycheck. I was never a fan of Bowe or his criminal of a manager Rock Newman, but it's a shame it has come to this for a guy who once lived in a mansion with his own bowling alley and movie theater and from last I've seen is suffering from some degree of brain damage.

I thought Rock Newman was actually pretty good to Riddick Bowe. Bowe did himself him with keeping his family members on the payroll- against Newmans advice

It was Newman who offered the 90-10 split to Lewis, knowing full well he would turn it down and that Lewis had a very strong chance of defeating Bowe. He was also responsible for several ringside brawls and he was just a sleazy, classless snake oil salesman who had no business being a fight manager.

Perhaps if he had not built a house with a movie theater and bowling alley he wouldn't be having financial problems now. I have no sympathy for anyone with that much money who blows it all.

Come on bro, you have to cut these guys some degree of slack- They never had anything as kids, then all of a sudden your rich and famous! You have sharks everywhere with their hand in your pocket, trying to take your money as fast as you earn it-

It wasn't just bowling alleys in mansions that do these jokers in, its the parasites and the leeches who want to be a part of the free ride, and these dudes having a sick sense of loyalty to the boys from back in the day-

That's good it's not going to be a real bout, and yeah Bowe definitely is suffering from brain damage. In all his recent interviews hes mushmouth.

Bowe fails to realize that nobody cares about HW boxing anymore, it's all about the lower weight classes. If this is a PPV it's going to do less than 300k in sales.

He probably already knows that. Hes probably just broke and has no other skills.

More like ******* damage, I saw both Golota fights with Bowe, and while Golota was at least winning the 2nd one, Golota or Foul Pole whatever he's called these days didn't give Bowe brain damage. That last nut shot was basically an uppercut.


Holyfield gave Bowe brain damage like he did to everyone else he fought by using that 80lb head as a weapon.

Bowe's nuts for trying to fight again, but fighting Golota is just stupid. We all make jokes about breaking someones balls but Foul Pole takes it literally.
