Tommy Hearns Tax Trouble

Tommy 'The Hitman' Hearns owes over $448,000 in back taxes, according to state and federal records. The state filed a $5,147.79 lien against Hearns and his wife last month for unpaid income taxes, while the IRS filed a $145,477.62 lien against the legendary boxer. Previous Liens of $90,824.59 and $206,740 were also placed on Hearns and his wife from 2008 and 2006. The pair reportedly still owe money from 2007 as well. A lawyer for Hearns says the retired boxer is working to resolve his tax issues. Hearns, a seven-time world boxing champion and product of Detroit's legendary Kronk Gym, earned an estimated $40 million by 1991 and has coped with delinquent tax bills for years.
