In the most recent episode of The Flagrant podcast, hosted by comedian Andrew Schulz, Holloway discussed his reasons for staying in his native Waianae, Hawaii. Since 2010, Max has competed professionally, and his net worth is currently $2 million. Holloway has amassed a sizable fan base from all around the world due to his status as a former featherweight champion and a formidable force in his category. Despite being a superstar, the seasoned boxer has stayed put in his hometown.
When asked about his stardom affecting his life in Waianae, he said, “You can walk around there without getting harassed.” Holloway compared his life in Waianae with LeBron’s life in Akron, Ohio. LeBron grew up in Akron, and being a small town, most people have gotten used to a King James sighting every once in a while. “That’s F***ing LeBron. They see him all the time,” Holloway said about LeBron growing up in Akron.
