    ESPN documentary looks at athletes going broke


    6:53AM EST October 2. 2012 - Give us $5 million and we believe we'll never run out of money.

    There are a lot of athletes who might prove you wrong.

    Tonight at 8 p.m. ET, ESPN will premier a new 30 for 30 documentary. "Broke" directed by Billy Corben looks at what athletes do with their money.

    A 2009 Sports Illustrated article claims that 78% of NFL players are broke after three years of retirement and 60% of NBA players go bust after five years.

    Included in the documentary Bernie Kosar, Andre Rison and Keith McCants recounting bad investments and bad decisions.

    Corben, who directed "The U" for 30 for 30 says "I was surprised to discover -- and I think others will be too -- how easy it is to go broke."
