This show is a worthy effort by Rodriguez to give advice and help to former athletic stars who have fallen on hard times after poorly managing the millions of dollars they had made. Unfortunately, the help he provides fails miserably. While the premise of the show is notable, the execution is awful. He is trying to coach athletes who have no sense of financial discipline and responsibility, business ability, and sadly, simple mathematical ability. And, it is not good tv. I watched part of the first episode and found it too depressing to stay tuned. I watched the whole second episode, thinking that Holyfield does not have any idea about what is happening. This was confirmed at the end of the show when a one second comment was flashed on the screen (you can see it for yourself). After watching one and a half episodes I feel sorry for the athletes and embarrassed that they are being exploited, once again, this time by CNBC. No more please.
