Paul Pierce court filing finances

A court filing lays out where Paul Pierce's money goes, and the picture is grim. His attorney's word for it is that the former Celtics star is drowning financially and having trouble meeting his obligations. The income side: a Fox Sports paycheck of $119,000 a month that has dropped to nothing, and about $23,000 last month from other business interests. The outgo: roughly $48,000 monthly in child and spousal support, then a separate $48,000 in bills, with $5,000 of that on groceries, $7,000 on eating out and $3,500 on entertainment. What he has left, per his own account, is around $300,000 in the bank alongside $3 million in property. Set that against the roughly $200 million he earned over his playing career. Reported by TMZ, written up by Samuel.
