Dumbest phrase used in Boxing: "Skills pay the bills"

fukkin russians, hate them :D

:haha: :pat: :haha: This guy........ That's a Tyson quote.

Dumbest phrase used in Boxing: "Skills pay the bills" in your own title it says it's used in boxing, meaning it doesn't apply to everything :lol1: :lol1:

NO they dont! Last time I checked I couldnt pay my mortgage with "Skills" and when paying at a store there isnt a payment method called "Skills" You can be the most skilled person in the world but if you sitting on your couch you will be broke and poor. Skills dont pay for $HIT. You know what pay's the bills? Having a job and dedication. "Sir, you are 3 months late on your mortgage" "Well, let me pay with my skills, cuz you know, Skills pay the bills" There are alot of stupid mofo's who HAVE no skills but are still millionaires and rich, why? They were born into it, got lucky, married into it. Look at Fortune 500 and the number of idiots working there, they have no skills. Why are so many people having this phrase in their signature? Its the dumbest phrase ever invented, SKILLS DONT PAY BILLS, Money pay's the bills. and you get money from hard work. How many skilled people are broke and homeless? I guess their bank doesn't take "Skills" as payment. Who would buy sh*t with their money??

there are definitely dumber phrases in boxing "i'm gonna fade into Bolivian"

Its stupid, I know alot of stupid mofo's who are useless and have no skills, yet they have money, etc. and I also know some talented people and prodigies who are struggling to pay rent. Skills dont pay bills. Skills might help you make money to pay the bills, but you can be the most Skilled person in the world and still be broke. That is just not true. And you would be EXTREMELY naive to think otherwise. That is simply not the way the world works. If you are the best in the world at something that is in demand, you will always find your way to the top and money inevitably follows. Do you think there's this freak out there who just so happens to be better than Lebron at basketball, but just has gone unnoticed this entire time? :lol1:

I actually used that phrase on Monday at work and a female co-worker/friend next to me started laughing.

Ability pays the bills and not neccesarily skills. You can have less skills, but do things better than the person with a bucket load of skills. Otherwise all you would have to do is sit in the classroom and learn as many skills as you can and it dont work like that.

skills=wins=money skill do pay the bills son

Medved just tired to keep it real...

youre dumb........just like floyd............ You're a scumbag..just like Bob Arum.:nono:

Its stupid, I know alot of stupid mofo's who are useless and have no skills, yet they have money, etc. and I also know some talented people and prodigies who are struggling to pay rent. Skills dont pay bills. Skills might help you make money to pay the bills, but you can be the most Skilled person in the world and still be broke. Obviously the term was intended to be used in boxing gyms, where im sure your skills dont help with any of your bills.

You ever hear the expression "those body shots will pay dividends in the later rounds"? In this case, paying the bills is no different than "paying dividends" or, something you might be more familiar with, simply "paying off." Having skills pays off. You dig?

You're taking the phrase too seriously.

I know a girl whose skills in bed pays her bills, true story.. Skills pay bills..

Skills pay the bills.

"Skills dont pay for $HIT. You know what pay's the bills? Having a job and dedication. "Sir, you are 3 months late on your mortgage" "Well, let me pay with my skills, cuz you know, Skills pay the bills" There are alot of stupid mofo's who HAVE no skills but are still millionaires and rich, why? . . . SKILLS DONT PAY BILLS, Money pay's the bills. and you get money from hard work." --- Translate to hard work: Sir, you are 3 months late on your mortgage Well, let me pay with my "hard work", cuz you know, "hard work" pay the bill. There are a lot of stupid mofo's who doesn't work but are still millionaires and rich, why? --- Lolz, why take this thing literally man. There is no single factor that defines success. Each of has our own definition of it. But if you take everything equal ( luck, dedication, etc.. ) between 2 persons with the only difference being their skill level, most likely, the one with the greater skill level would do better.

Are we talking about TV coverage or getting paid? As far as I know, Ivan Calderon has done pretty well for himself despite his lack of TV coverage. And speaking of Floyd, he's widely considered the most skilled boxer today and he also makes the most money. And to say that Maidana and Katsidis don't have any skills is just silly. You don't get as far as they do and not have any skills. Im talking about both because tv coverage opens doors to bigger paydays but noone will wanna tune in to snoozefests regardless of how talented a fighter may be. Neither madaina or katsidis are more talented than the elite of their divisions let alone more skilled than calderon and yet they earn bigger purses than the more skilled fighters that beat them. And still get invited back to fight on hbo regardless of the losses because they are fan favorites. A more pertinent example would be that whitaker may have been far more skilled than chavez but chavez earned more in his career.
