Paul Pierce claims he is "tapped out" financially while trying to keep up with his court-ordered support payments ... due to him no longer receiving income from Fox Sports ... TMZ has learned.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Paul claims his last check from Fox Sports came in August. He said his average monthly income was $119K, but now it is zero. He said he earned around $23K last month from his partnership interests in other business ventures.
Paul said he pays around $28K in child support and another $20K in spousal support per month … but claims he only has $300K in the bank and $3 million in property.
He says he spends around $48K a month in bills, including $8K in childcare, $5K in groceries, $7K on eating out, $3,200 on utilities, $1K on clothes, $3,500 on entertainment, and various other expenses.
Et cetera. Et cetera. Et cetera.

$5K in groceries, $7K on eating out,
= = =
That’s $400 per day for food.
Quite often, people from disadvantaged backgrounds look upon a million dollars as forever money and they act like it..
My advice to all pro athletes, is live at home for a year or two and invest 100% of the income to pay your taxes and live on what is left over.
He would have had an i come of a good $10 million if he had done that.
He more than likely had homies. All that food wasn’t just for him. Many if these athletes by gigantic mansions just to entertain the homies.
Maybe shouldn’t have bought the Big house and the luxury cars, huh?
Since I quit watching the Professional Ghetto Basketball League when Bird and Magic retired, I had never heard of Paul Pierce. So, I looked him up. Figures.
"Wealth" is just money you saved/invested instead of spending on Escalades, bling and hoes.
I cut that cost in half by wearing things more than once.
I have three words for him:
Boo.
Frickety.
Hoo.
Why should we care?
Oh, stop, Paul! You’re breaking my heart! That a man with your advantages should fall upon hard times simply boggles the mind!
“Paul said he pays around $28K in child support and another $20K in spousal support per month“
Some chick is getting $48k per month for her and a kid to live on? Most people live on $44k less per month.
Someone is getting screwed and it isn’t the exwife
If only there were some ways to economize, but I just don’t see any. Do you?
Monthly expenses: “$8K in childcare, $5K in groceries, $7K on eating out, $3,200 on utilities, $1K on clothes, $3,500 on entertainment, and various other expenses”
The lack of sympathy for this poor man here on this thread is just awful. I’ll go set up a GoFundMe for him and I’ll be back shortly asking you all to donate to this fine cause.
3 million in property?
SELL IT!!!!!!!!........

Pierce was fired by ESPN after streaming from his Instagram Live on April 2, 2021.During the livestream at a poker game, he featured several women wearing bikinis who were massaging his shoulders or twerking. Pierce also showcased himself drinking alcohol from a small cup and smoking a blunt while responding to fan messages. ESPN ended its relationship with Pierce on April 5, 2021, and had no further comment on the firing. Pierce later responded to news of his firing with a Twitter video of him laughing while also tweeting that "Big things are coming soon" and "I can't lose even when I lose, I'm winning."
Wow! Planned that all wrong, didn’t he? No sympathy. He’s still spending over $12k per month on crap he could curtail.
