The reason why i dislike fighters who fights for money

What a gem of a damn thread. LOL

i just got back okay thats ur opinion but as i said marquez is a risk with money why choose him when he can fight someone easier without risking his pvp status drop u lose ur stocks drops, why pick marquez manny can actually fight two easy fights and that would equal to how much he is going to get from a marquez fight now the better example is why take bradley when he has nothing but risk for u? facing bradley means risking ur stocks but high reward for legacy Pacquaio fought Bradley because it was his last option. His preference was for a much more lucrative fight.

Funny thread. No one fights if they aren't getting a decent (according to their status) paycheck.

Fighting for money can motivate a fighter (every one is different) "Winner Take All" fights would be even more motivating, but even more shadiness and corruption would develop as a result of that incentive nowadays. .

What? That's what being a professional means.

Every pro fighter fights for money, some care more about proving their greatness as fighters than others, but they all fight for money, this is their damn livelihood. And ppl always say stuff like "once you get rich, you can fight for your legacy and not for the money". People do not know boxing history because usually when fighters reach a certain financial status, they get accustomed to it and want those type of paydays from there on. It's the norm, not the exception

u cant really say khan is after the money because floyd>>>> alexander floyd is super high risk super high reward for legacy and money Khan bypassed Alexander because he didn't want to risk the possibility of losing and ruining his chances at fighting Mayweather. He made a business decision, just like Tim Bradley made a business decision to not fight Khan three years ago.

I get what you're trying to say, but don't be nieve. They all fight for $. Khan fights all comers but he skipped Alexander for a possible May jackpot. GGG is trying to fight Chavez instead of Ward first. Kovalev fought Cleverly instead of Hopkins. Nothing wrong with any of them doing it, because it's a business 1st and foremost. Bradley would fight anyone but he passed on Khan for a Pac chance. If any of these fighters were strictly about legacy they wouldn't always say I fight whoever my promoter and team puts in front of me. They'd go on tv and demand fights with everyone. The promoters are hired for a reason( to get top $), for their services. Everyone doesn't make the money the May, Pac, or the Klit bros make. But they're all trying too! u cant really say khan is after the money because floyd>>>> alexander floyd is super high risk super high reward for legacy and money i get what u mean though but lately most fighters been thinking about $$$ and less about their legacy

This ain't olden days when the cost of living and everything else was much cheaper than it is today. .

Can you name them? khan and manny , thurman actually said he doesnt care about losing so lets see if he proves it, and there are a few more.. they fight for money at times like the rios fight but they also fight for legacy manny vs bradley 1 and 2 manny vs marquez IV khan vs everyone that almost KOEd him

No he was highest paying option. Remember he wanted to rematch cotto...who he crushed at a weihht 4 lbs lower than his last fight before setting on jmm 4? Its about monwy....who can pac fight for big money? Jmm....and? I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Marquez is his most lucrative payday outside of Mayweather.... i just got back okay thats ur opinion but as i said marquez is a risk with money why choose him when he can fight someone easier without risking his pvp status drop u lose ur stocks drops, why pick marquez manny can actually fight two easy fights and that would equal to how much he is going to get from a marquez fight now the better example is why take bradley when he has nothing but risk for u? facing bradley means risking ur stocks but high reward for legacy

They all fight for money and that's why boxing is often called prize fighting. If there was little or no money in boxing the level of skill and talent would go way down hill fast. Almost no fighter would go through the hard training and the high risk of injury and brain damage if there was no monetary reward.

Looks like the golf fans are in full force again. Why do people think that fighter's bank accounts are more important then the sport? No wonder boxing is in the state that it is now, some fans prefer looking at 00000000 in a bank account instead of great fights smh.

No it wasn't, it was a sport for poor people like blacks, Italians, Irish, etc who had nothing going for them could make money. Now it's more worldwide than ever, but still generally more poor people and people with unprivileged backgrounds participate in the sport to be in a better financial situation. Yes we know money was and always be involved in boxing ...but once these guys make millions and a big name for the selfs ...money is not only thing they fight for

Can you name them? Hopkins is 1 he made enoght money ..he really old ....and a share holder for golden boy promotions

Muay Thai is a sport of pride

I get what you saying ...boxing use to be a sport of pride ....now it just becoming an occupation .....fighters fighting for the fans is the last thing on some of these minds it all about careful decision making ......fighters like Floyd Adonis could care less what the people want ....that why guys like thurman and ggg get so much "hype" because at the end of the day they believe in there power and skill and want to see if they could knock others out No it wasn't, it was a sport for poor people like blacks, Italians, Irish, etc who had nothing going for them could make money. Now it's more worldwide than ever, but still generally more poor people and people with unprivileged backgrounds participate in the sport to be in a better financial situation.

there are still a few out there who fights for legacy Can you name them?
