前NBA球星Paul Pierce入禀法院称财务告急：Fox Sports合约终止后月入归零，每月扶养费与开支约4.8万美元
据 TMZ 10月27日报道，前 NBA 球星 Paul Pierce 在新近提交的法院文件中称，自己在 Fox Sports 的合约终止后收入归零、正「在财务上溺水」，要求法院驳回其幼子母亲 Princess Santiago 提出的4万美元律师费与1万美元法务会计费请求。Pierce 称，他过去平均月入约11.9万美元，上月仅从其他商业合伙权益中赚得约2.3万美元。
文件显示，Pierce 目前每月要支付约2.8万美元子女扶养费与约2万美元配偶扶养费，每月账单总计约4.8万美元，其中包括约8,000美元托儿费、5,000美元食品杂货、7,000美元外出就餐、3,200美元水电费、1,000美元服装与3,500美元娱乐开支。他称自己银行存款只剩约30万美元，另有约300万美元房产。
Pierce 的律师在文件中表示，由于其 Fox Sports 合约已被终止，Pierce 支付上述额外费用将「非常困难」，并称他「在财务上溺水」、难以履行金钱义务。Santiago 一方则指 Pierce 在财务记录上「耍花招」，要求聘请法务会计审查其财务。
据 TMZ 此前报道，法院今年9月曾裁定 Pierce 每月向 Santiago 支付8,508美元临时子女扶养费，并支付10万美元律师费。Pierce 在 NBA 生涯中累计薪资据报约2亿美元，曾效力于 Boston Celtics 等球队，退役后担任电视评论员。
Ex-NBA Star Paul Pierce Tells Court He Is 'Drowning Financially' After Fox Sports Deal Ended, With About $48K in Monthly Support and Bills
Former NBA star Paul Pierce says in a new court filing that he is "drowning financially" after his Fox Sports contract was terminated, and is asking the court to reject a request by Princess Santiago, the mother of his young son, for $40,000 in legal fees and another $10,000 for a forensic accountant, TMZ reported on October 27. Pierce said his last Fox Sports check came in August; he had averaged about $119,000 a month, but said that income is now zero, and he earned only about $23,000 last month from partnership interests in other business ventures.
According to the filing, Pierce pays about $28,000 a month in child support and another $20,000 in spousal support, and spends about $48,000 a month on bills, including about $8,000 on childcare, $5,000 on groceries, $7,000 on eating out, $3,200 on utilities, $1,000 on clothes and $3,500 on entertainment. He said he has only about $300,000 in the bank and $3 million in property.
Pierce's attorney said in the filing that he would have "great difficulty" paying the additional fees since his Fox Sports contract was terminated, adding that he is "drowning financially" and having trouble keeping up with his monetary obligations. Santiago claimed Pierce was playing games with his financial records and wanted an expert to review his finances.
In September, a court ordered Pierce to pay Santiago $8,508 a month in temporary child support for their son and $100,000 in legal fees, TMZ previously reported. Pierce reportedly earned around $200 million during his NBA career.
