woopie ..lol im not to sure that fight deserves a comment..i feel tua fell short of what he could of been in his heyday..i wish 99 percent of the over 40 crowd stop trying to catch lightning in a bottle..

Tua another sad story of a boxer who's now literaly broke and having to fight. He's actualy homeless now.

You could call it life imitating art, or vice-versa.

In the new FX boxing drama Lights Out, the main character, Patrick "Lights" Leary (Holt McCallany), 40, is a retired heavyweight champion who has blown through millions of dollars, while living in a too-lavish manner with his family in a New Jersey mansion.

In a recent episode, Lights, having been forced to face the reality of his situation, is forced to tell his stricken wife, "It's gone. It's all gone."

It's a story that veteran heavyweight contender David "Tuaman" Tua, 38, can identify with all too well.

In the Sunday News, Tua has revealed that he and his family (Wife Robina, and two sons, Klein, 15, and Kaynan, 12), have been living in rental accommodations, and even had to move in with co-manager Inga Tuigamala at their lowest point.

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

The Tuaman earned approximately $12 million from his 2000 loss to heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis.

But problematic investments and a protracted legal battle with two ex-managers have left Tua in dire straits.

Tua's legal bills ballooned to $4.2 million, and to add to his woes, he was also hit by a $2.2 million tax bill from the New Zealand government, which froze the purses from his last three fights.

bad investments. Give me 12 million dollars. I'll pay the taxes. I will buy a reasonable home, a few reasonable automobiles, and the rest will be put in damn conservative investments. When you have money you don't have to make it grow. Just don't piss it away!!!!!
