Is the HItman hitting rock bottom?
Hall of Fame legend, Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, 51, is currently going through a great deal of financial trouble. He and his wife are currently in danger of losing their home to foreclosure. The seven-time world champion made more than $40 million during his career. However, he owes more than $961,156 in delinquent taxes and mortgage payments toward his house. According to Tommy's attorney, things may work out for him:
"Tommy's going to resolve the house issue. Tommy's doing fine. It's just an unfortunate issue that we're dealing with, and we're working to get it resolved right away."
Hearns is the most famous fighter out of Emanuel Steward's legendary Kronk gym in Detroit, Michigan.
