Can I buy the headband with all the frown marks still in it? The dude lived most of his life in Monte Carlo as a tax exile. He must have really stuffed up. Steffi Graf's dad got done like Al Capone.
I liked watching Borg play. However, the guy retired in the early 1980s at the age of 26. How much financial security can you gain after 11 years in a sport that's not televised weekly and is typically played in fairly small venues with limited ticket sales? Heck, even the PGA has found a way to maintain a presence on TV 12 months of the year. It's sad he has to sell off his memories, but not surprising.
Bad business man&acouple women who took him to cleaners!$1.4M lawsuit pending,so the sale will be eaten up before its held!Sad!
Would be nice if a young Swede with a fat wallet -- think someone like Mats Sundin -- bids & buys a trophy for pocket-change, then donates it to a Swedish museum. He might even be able to claim the donation on his taxes, and it'd be better that the trophy was shared with Swedish fans than collect dust on some millionaires' mantle. I grew up with Borg, and his global name and likeness were only marginally more known in the 1970s by Ali and Pele. The guy is a 20th century sporting icon, it's sad and dreary to think he can't afford to keep his own trophies.
